Fifth Gate [Text]

Who: Jennifer Keller and you
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: N/A
When: August 20th

Since it seems like the Iskaulit is going to be staying with us for a while, I'm kicking around the idea of converting a room or two into a medical clinic of sorts. Since not every ship has a medbay, it'd be useful for people on those ships to have another option, or for people who want a bit more privacy if they need a checkup or to get an injury looked at.

I know our medics are stretched pretty thin, though. Would this idea be feasible? I'm not sure, but I though it was worth bringing up anyway.

I see- no, it was still perfectly intact. It sank beneath the waves to avoid an attack and sat there waiting for some nosy humans to come along and wake it up. I wasn't there to see it rise from the seabed, but I was told it was breathtaking.

I'm just glad you were able to entertain the idea. I half expect people to react with disbelief to my story.

After being on the Fleet for a few months, I can safely say I've heard a lot stranger. You working in the lost city seems pretty normal in comparison.

Makes me wonder sometimes about the universe, and what some worlds have discovered and what's waiting out there in other ones.

True enough. Being here for a few months is enough to make you suspend your disbelief about anything.

Yeah, it really does. My team back home had some experience with alternate universes, and it's interesting what results from just a few things changing. My boyfriend met one of his alternate selves, and they were totally different in personality. He said it was creepy.

Creepy, huh...

[It hits a nerve for him, albeit unintentionally - he's been going through stuff with his friend from back home. Who may or may not resent him for being slightly AU from his canon self.]

I hope not in the bad way. Maybe the strange 'we don't look at things the same because we were raised differently' kind of way?

Yeah, like that. My boyfriend's alternate self was still him, but not really him- not the him his friends were used to. So it was like something was a little off.

Makes sense.

Bet that was hard for them, not knowing exactly what was different, just that SOMETHING was.

It was, from what they told me- especially since the original was still there. Rodney couldn't help but compare himself to the other one and felt inadequate in some ways.

[Ouch. This really hits too close to home.]

Yeah, that must've sucked.

I can't stick around for much longer, but let me know when you're holding first aid lessons? I could help with those too, depending on when you want to teach.

Absolutely. I was going to do it on an as-requested basis, but I might have enough volunteers to make a formal class. I'll let you know.
