[A quick, impulsive post as another new arrival settles in.]

We get guns?

Has anyone had to use the guns?

Does it help to know they're set to stun?

[shadowsran]

I'm glad for it, my head just jumped to "what's the standard been that these come out right away". Likelihood of getting stabbed with a toothbrush if I leave my room, that kind of deal.

[nineteenfortyfive]

Just a precaution. Some are... inclined towards violence, unfortunately.

[shadowsran]

I think my kneejerk assumption was a lot more violent than I'm hearing, so I think I'm gonna call that a good thing.

Misty, by the way, glad to meet everyone and get the gun advice early on.

[nineteenfortyfive]

Claire. A pleasure, Misty.

Dare I ask where you're from?

[shadowsran]

Earth, America, Louisiana, 2010s. Compared to other people from similar times it seems average as far as tech goes, no hovercars or androids or anything.

[She hasn't seen any aliens yet, but figures it can't hurt to default to casting a wide net.]

You?

[Always a difficult question, and maybe she'll give a different answer later, but--]

Earth, America, Boston, 1960s.

I'm perpetually disappointed by the lack of hovercars and androids.

[shadowsran]

[Oooooh.]

And anytime they DO crop up it turns out to have been horrible the whole time. Not encouraging.

Been to Boston around then in another life, I liked it a lot. This feel like a downgrade?

[nineteenfortyfive]

Another life?

This feels like I'm living in a science fiction novel. It feels very cold in comparison to what I'm used to at home.

[shadowsran]

Anyone from the other ship explain breaches, by chance? It was one of those.

[Which don't count, to many, but absolutely do for her.]

[nineteenfortyfive]

Not in detail. Not as other lives, certainly.

[shadowsran]

That's what they are, at the core of it. Hard to explain when you haven't lived it, and I'm not sure if this boat will even run into them, but

Well, they're big, they're incredible. Most people don't get the luxury of so much time to pour over and pick apart. So much experienced.

[nineteenfortyfive]

Sounds like I'll be missing out if we don't encounter them on this journey.

[shadowsran]

Very much!
