Brennan is seated outside on one of the benches sprinkled throughout the sprawling gardens flanking the Jeffersonian Institute, going over the tablet posts from the other citizens. The museum/research facility she'd brought with her into Taxon upon her arrival had been moved from Shelley to the Central district during their forced stay in the same ( Read more... )

"I've been here for over a year," said DG, who was still attempting to adjust to the fact that the Northern Island - the closest thing that she had to a home anywhere, let alone in Taxon - had been moved during their brief imprisonment. How had they managed it? (For that matter, how had they managed to get the frozen palace to the city in the first place?) "Nothing like this has happened before."

Something that she was decidedly thankful for.

"So it's not a reoccurring event, then," Brennan nodded, exhaling a puff of air through her mouth in a slightly frustrated manner. "I suppose we can be grateful for that, at least. And hope this won't turn into one, either."

The logistics and technical details of all these changes were baffling to Brennan, as well. So many things in Taxon boldly twisted the laws of physics or ignored them completely that the rational scientist was still having difficulties wrapping her head around them after ten months of being stuck in the alien city.

"Or, if it does happen all the time, the hamsters make sure we don't remember it."

Despite her growing understanding of magic, DG had no idea how the hamsters - or whatever their captors really were - managed to toy with the memories. All she knew was that she had genuinely forgotten about Kaylee and Kaylee's disappearance. She hadn't realised that anything was wrong until it had been over.

"I've heard of that happening, people losing their memories on certain events or people, even," Brennan replied, disconcerted by the notion. Nothing like that had happened to her personally yet, and she hoped it never would - but in a place like this, nothing was certain. And that very idea was incredibly upsetting.

"I just wish we had more answers," she said abruptly. "We barely know anything about why we're here and why the aliens do what they do. Much less how they do it. Not knowing is... extremely frustrating."
