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?

[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?

[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.

[madeofplants]

I would... say please.

[keeps_a_cool_head]

Of course.

Please.

[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.

[madeofplants]

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

[keeps_a_cool_head]

So the Barge is indifferent to time and space entirely?

[uh oh, Steph]

..Interesting.

[keeps_a_cool_head]

Do you know why you are here?

[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?

[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?

[ichoosefight]

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

[keeps_a_cool_head]

Magic is a false construct. There is always a scientific answer for everything, if you only have the patience to delve.

[madeofplants]

I am... of the Earth. I speak to... the green... and it is... a part of me.

[ So... yes? ]

[ichoosefight]

I know a witch boy who would disagree with you, and then turn you into a frog.

Not that I condone that sort of thing, I'm just saying.

[keeps_a_cool_head]

Of Earth? Or of the earth?

[keeps_a_cool_head]

What he does - if true - is majestic, but not magic. I would have to investigate him for myself.

[ichoosefight]

All I know is, if he says it's magic I'll call it magic. His cat rips people's hearts out and eats them. He's kinda scary, for a little blue guy.

[madeofplants]

Of... the earth. All... plant life... is known to me.

[keeps_a_cool_head]

And what do they call you?
