[001] This is unexpected.

Mar 18, 2009 23:58

[textExcuse me for what may be an interruption, but I've finally gotten my helpmate to interface with this device, and I was hoping someone could tell me where I am? Did we tunnel? Is that why I'm so disoriented? I'm sorry, I've just never traveled FTL before ( Read more... )

Tunnel?

yousoundblue March 19 2009, 04:14:44 UTC

[There's a pause.]

Yes, "tunnel."

[She has a very strange accent.]

I'm sorry, I don't speak your language, and my helpmate doesn't seem to have the file. Are we in the Centauri system? Farther out?

I apologize; tunneling must have affected me more than it's supposed to.

[text] ttlynotawizard March 19 2009, 04:17:59 UTC

The Centauri what now?

[text] yousoundblue March 19 2009, 04:21:49 UTC

The Centauri star system, four lightyears from Sol.

Are you groggy from the trip, too?

You're in Hell.

[A pause even longer than it should take to type in her reply.]

I'm not a religious believer.

[text] captainverg March 19 2009, 09:40:39 UTC

Neither am I. I still see this floating rock as Hell, though.

[text] yousoundblue March 19 2009, 16:46:16 UTC

It just seemed like a weird thing to say.

[text] nantokanare March 19 2009, 04:43:10 UTC

What's "FTL"?

[text] yousoundblue March 19 2009, 04:45:24 UTC

Faster than light.

[text] nantokanare March 19 2009, 04:48:26 UTC

I thought traveling faster than light was impossible.

[text] yousoundblue March 19 2009, 04:53:01 UTC

No one's thought that for 500 years since the tunnel drive was invented.

You what, love?

I'm sorry, I don't speak your language. Do you speak System Basic?

[text] oneeveryminute March 19 2009, 05:51:56 UTC

English only love.

Are you new here?

[text] yousoundblue March 19 2009, 05:54:52 UTC

I think so? I'm told people just arrive, and I certainly wasn't here before.

English? Really?

[text] canttrustliars March 19 2009, 05:21:08 UTC

So from what I gather, you're a space traveler?

[text] OH GOD FINALLY SOMEONE SANE yousoundblue March 19 2009, 05:25:37 UTC

Well, I have traveled in the past. I didn't think I was traveling recently, but the only way I'd be this disoriented besides coming up from anesthesia is if I tunneled.

[text] canttrustliars March 19 2009, 05:28:35 UTC

It's natural to be disoriented, but I don't think 'tunneling' is the cause. Everyone here was transported from different worlds and times against our wills. You'll probably have some adjusting to do, I don't think many people here come from places so advanced as your home, as your earlier conversations have obviously demonstrated.

[text] yousoundblue March 19 2009, 05:30:39 UTC

[There's a looooooong pause.]

You realize how unbelievable that sounds?
