You ever get the feeling that the other shoe's going to drop? That every quiet means a storm's just over the horizon?

We can't have been pulled from a dozen different universes just for nothing. Something's gotta be coming. Guess we'll find out eventually, no matter what happens.

It's been mostly boring here, aside from, you know, the can't get home aspect. I never felt like there was something coming.

Feel it now, though.

[callmecrichton]

Glad to know I'm not the only one, for a change.

... But that might not be a good thing.

[peektuttut]

Yeah, no kidding.

[callmecrichton]

So what do we do? Polish the guns we don't have? Prepare the escape craft we don't have? Pilot the ship we can't steer to a safe haven? Run away to yet another alternate universe that we can't control? Train the pacifists to fight back?

We're sitting ducks, dead in the air. I don't like this at all. Whatever brought us here, now it's hanging out to dry.

[sonic_bowtie]

I've had that feeling lots of times before. Interestingly, not feeling it right now at all. [quietly] That's a bit troubling.

[callmecrichton]

You get the feeling that something's coming to get you because something's coming to get you. It almost went away, for a little while, when I got here, because I thought hey, how could anyone follow me?

Maybe they have. Maybe it's someone else entirely. You sound like a guy who understands what I'm talking about ... and you feel nothing? Nothing at all?

If something's coming, and it's not just ol' Crichton losing it again, why don't we all feel it?

[sonic_bowtie]

Something's always coming to get me, really. Which again, weird, because I'm usually the one feeling things before anyone else.

I wonder if it could be targeting certain people.

[callmecrichton]

Something's been after me for a long time.

... Targeting ... certain ... people?

I'm not sure which would be worse, that the psychopaths who were chasing me before have found a way to follow me even here, or that something else here also wants my head on a platter.

This is not okay.

[arnold_j_rimmer]

I have that feeling all the time, but no more than normal I'm afraid.

[callmecrichton]

You too, huh? Had some interesting times that some asshole would call "adventures?"

[arnold_j_rimmer]

I don't even call them interesting. I call them "stressful".

[callmecrichton]

Glad we agree.

You know the old Chinese curse ...

[lady_elcho]

Such comforting words.

[callmecrichton]

Comforting is not my department. You want comforting, talk to a priest.

[alltotheirend]

I'm really hoping you're wrong about this being the calm. We are not frakking ready for a damn thing here.

[callmecrichton]

With you on that one, Thrace. We should form a Sitting Duck club.

[alltotheirend]

That has to be the most depressing club in existence.

[callmecrichton]

At least that way when they come for us, we'll all be in one place. Makes the paperwork easier.
