[putting his voice on this thing is...not preferable, but this has to get out to everyone to be even half as effective as aizawa would like it to be. so time to get over it.]

Gathering info for something, so I'd appreciate any participation.

One: length of time you've been here.

Two: whether or not you were in a place like this before, IE forcibly removed from your home universe and kept captive.

Three: something you wish you'd known or been told upon arrival here.

Four: something you miss most desperately from home. No 'family or friends' here, please. Material objects only.

Thanks.

Thank you.

Is that what they were? People from previous cycles? I thought they were supposed to be the Atroma. Low level, disposable Atroma.

Yeah, seems like. I meant more that they're remnants of a time prior that were quickly disposed of before they could reveal any particularly useful information.

It does feel like things changed around their exit. There have been more threats. At least in the years I've been here. The first one was extremely peaceful. [At least by her standards.] And then we started running into slavers and cannibals and dying planets. Not sure what it was like before my time, but the first calibrations was they thing they brought up the most.

Calibrations does seem relatively unplanned, but you have to wonder why the footage was left on the network at all if they didn't want us to see something like that. They've scrubbed footage before.

What have they scrubbed? [She's not sure for the moment whether she's forgetting something or if this is new information.]

Nothing on the network, as far as I know. I'll tell you about it later.

Interesting. I'd like to hear that sometime. [Are you going to appear to her in a dream too? She assumes he doesn't want to say over the network even though he said this much.] I'm going to be disappointed if the answer is showers. [Nice and scrubbed!]

I promise it'll be a better punchline than that.

Oh yeah, I expect lots of laughing in my future. [She smiles, but he misses out on it because it's voice! Alas!] Good luck with the rest of your survey.
