[ He's taken a little while to try to keep it together, to check the roster, to make sense of it against what he's learned about the Fleet so far, and to at least get himself leveled out enough to talk. ]

Maggie is, um... she's not on the ship. She's still on the roster, but she's not here.

[ A pause, a steadying breath, and onward - ]

I know that's supposed to mean she'll be back, but if anyone's been through this, if it was you or if it was someone you know here... how long are people gone when this happens? And they do all come back, right? As long as they're still on the roster? [ A moment - ] Are they okay?

[ That's... a lot to start with, he knows. It's everything that matters. And then, ]

Thanks. To anyone who answers.

[ Someday he'll post something nice and fun. Really. ]

She'll be okay, Glenn. She's still here somewhere- probably on the Marsiva. She'll probably remember some more things, but she'll be okay. She's stronger than all of us..

audio;

[rheecon]

Yeah, she is.

[ Of course she is, but. That doesn't mean he's not going to protect her in whatever way he still can, and be frustrated with all the ways he can't anymore. ]

But do we know anything about it, though? What happens, how people just... remember more things?

audio;

[postocular]

Not really, no.. sometimes, you wake up changed with what you remember.

audio;

[rheecon]

[ Just... wondering here, based on what Carl's saying. He asks gently, with a bit of concern - ]

Has that happened to you?

audio;

[postocular]

Woke up without an eye once, that was...a little spooky?

[ Mostly it was jarring, because he'd gone to sleep with both eyes, remembered, and then he woke up how everything was after he'd stormed the Savior's camp. ]

audio;

[rheecon]

[ Oh. ]

... wow. Yeah.

[ That is a lot to confront head-on. On the other hand, it's something that definitely happened. ]

So they take you and things that happen back home just sort of... catch up?

audio;

[postocular]

Yeah. Sometimes you disappear, other times you don't. You just wake up in bed and things are different. When Maggie and I first got here, the last thing we remembered was being on the road- we hadn't even run into Aaron yet.

I remembered things before Maggie did.

audio;

[rheecon]

So it's just kind of random, huh? When we come from, when we ... remember, when we come back.

audio;

[postocular]

Pretty much, yeah. There's not really a way to tell until it happens.

[ Which, quite frankly, is not ideal. ]

audio;

[rheecon]

Yeah... I don't really know why I'm still expecting anything to have a straight answer here.

[ Most of the time, he can roll with that. It's worth it to be here with them, after all. ]

audio;

[postocular]

Because it would make sense.. Which a lot of things don't, here.
