I take it by all your reactions that this is a rare and unusual occurrence.

Shame. I feel we could all benefit from a few words of wisdom from those outside of our reenforced bubble.

Very well: speak your mind. Lt. Braca, if you can hear me: report.

I wish I could contact the barge whenever. It would make staying in touch so much easier.

You're a new face. [ SHE CAN TELL BECAUSE LATEX. ]

[keeps_a_cool_head]

I'm afraid that, being a new face, I'm unable to tell new from old.

I am called Scorpius. What do you go by, here?

[ichoosefight]

I'm Stephanie. And if that's your sneaky way of noting your confusion, yes, I know there's another me there, and she's younger.

[keeps_a_cool_head]

Two versions; one older and one younger. This Barge continues to surprise me.

I suppose if I asked, you would be unable to tell me how this was possible.

[ichoosefight]

No, but I can totally bullshit one. See, because the barge moves through space and time, it can pick up people from different worlds at different relative time, and it's exempt from the whole concept itself. So basically, the Admiral does whatever he wants and screw the laws of physics.

[keeps_a_cool_head]

So the Barge is indifferent to time and space entirely?

[uh oh, Steph]

..Interesting.

[ichoosefight]

[ uh oh what uh oh ]

There's a theory that breaches and floods are residual something or other from worlds the barge passes, but that's all way over my head.

[keeps_a_cool_head]

And this applies only to the Barge? Or may other vessels theoretically use the same method of travel?

[ichoosefight]

Hell if I know. It's all basically just magic to me.

[madeofplants]

You have... a strange way... of asking for... wisdom.

[ Shut up I'm sick of finding creative ways to explain Swamp Thing's speech pattern. ]

[keeps_a_cool_head]

Really?

And how would you seek council?

[madeofplants]

I would... say please.

[keeps_a_cool_head]

Of course.

Please.

[madeofplants]

I have... no wisdom for you. I do not... even know... who you are.

[keeps_a_cool_head]

Do you know why you are here?

[madeofplants]

I am... in my swamp. You are... an image... in a pond.

[keeps_a_cool_head]

Am I?

It's curious how the Barge likes to transmit images.

Tell me, what sort of creature is your species? Plant-based, like the Delvians?

[darknessb4me]

Not rare enough.

[keeps_a_cool_head]

If you would please; explain?

[darknessb4me]

It happens at least once a year. See if you can find anyone to talk to that isn't an idiot. Go ahead.

[keeps_a_cool_head]

Who am I speaking with now?

[darknessb4me]

Arthas. I live here.

[keeps_a_cool_head]

Then I have found my non-idiot.

[darknessb4me]

High praise.

[keeps_a_cool_head]

You are sensible and direct. I can ask for nothing else in these confusing times.

It's good to make your acquaintance, Arthas.
