Who: Orion and YOU
Broadcast: Voice
Action: Iskaulit
When: 9/25

[there's a shift and some crackling, as he's adjusting his position. it sounds like he's moving some things around.]

... Two questions.

One, who would be the best person to go to about setting up a larger infirmary on the Iskaulit? After what happened, I think it might be better to have some larger area set up. Especially if something ends up happening and we need to quarantine some kind of ailment.

... And two. [and then he pauses, because he doesn't know how to ask the second one. it's not like it's the first time someone's left, but..]

Does anyone know what happens to the people who leave? A theory, a guess... Anything? Going home is supposed to be the prize for winning at the end of the show, isn't it?



[ADDED LATER:]

... Just an added note, if anyone has any skill in blacksmithing, I could use your help.

Dr. Crusher here, SS Blue Fish. I see Allen and Dr. Keller have already spoken to you about the limitations we have run into when we discussed the opening of a central clinic before, so I see no need to repeat what they have already told you. We are interested, we just haven't found a feasible working plan yet.

However, as to your other question... for a couple of months there was someone here from my universe, who came from a point in my future. He remembered meeting me in that future, so presumably I go home at some point. Or at least, there's some version of me in existence there.

... I've noticed a lot of time shifts between people already. I've also noticed a lot of timeline differences. Not sure what to think on that.

[She nods.]

I know. It is... disconcerting. Time travel is complicated enough, but once you start throwing in parallel universes and alternate realities, it gives me a headache.

voice whoops

I know how you feel. There are two versions of... someone I used to know, here. Neither of them are the one from my timeline.

That hasn't happened to me here, not yet anyway, but it has at home. Theoretically, there are an infinite number of parallel universes, each following a different historical path - a war happens in this one that doesn't in another, someone makes a choice here and a different one there - sometimes leading to huge differences between two given universes, other times only minor ones. So I suppose it makes sense there would be other versions of ourselves out there, but still.
