[There's a faint rustling of papers. ARTHUR'S ALREADY TAKING NOTES ON YOU. Like a creeper c: When he speaks, he sounds thoughtful... oh, and kind of like Rex. Minus the crazy.]

So. According to the Admiral, the passage of time moves much more slowly here than in the real world. Seconds become months, become years. Perfect for getting a job like this done without anybody knowing you're gone. However it seems here, it's quite an efficient system if you think about it.

At least, in theory. I'm sure all of you know how often the best laid plans live up to expectations.

[There's a brief pause, as he lightly taps a pencil against his notepad, then he speaks again.]

Does anybody remember how they got here? Not the events that brought you here as an Inmate or a Warden; I mean actually arriving on the ship.

...Rex? Did you... You sound better.

[Private]

[paradoxlol]

The fact that I'm not Rex might have something to do with that.

Time is only relative. Any kind of cataclysmic event can cause reality to blur, to become malleable. That includes the passage of time itself, which is strange here.

And the arrival, from what I have noted, is always the same for wardens. Appearance in a cabin with no extraneous knowledge other than a deal and the nature of the place.

[WHY ARE YOU FISCHER. Oh well, Arthur's not betraying any weirdness, since he's technically not supposed to know Fischer at all.]

What kinds of cataclysmic events are you referring to?

That's what I suspected. [He totally doesn't sound happy about that.] But there might be an exception to the rule.

[Private-visible to Uhura.]

[no-nanomites.livejournal.com]

You got the ventilator fixed again?

[Private-visible to Uhura.]

[paradoxlol]

[And since he's already spoken to Murphy, he puts two and two together:]

No, I'm not Rex.

[requiresssacrifice]

[ASSUME SOME SEETHING UP IN HERE BECAUSE ARTHUR STOLE HIS VOICE and probably his face]

[paradoxlol]

[AND ARTHUR NOW DISLIKES YOU BECAUSE EVERYBODY'S CALLING HIM REX.]

[deusexmechanic.livejournal.com]

Heyy, it's Rex three! A little older than Rex two, a little less well done than Rex one. Welcome aboard, Rex three.

Annd, in answer to your question? Kinda. I remember talking to an amorphous suggestion of a person, signing a (thankfully slightly more solid) contract, stepping through a door that should have led to a completely different location... aaaaand waking up in a room I hadn't had access to for three years, on a big creepy ship fulla corpses.

[paradoxlol]

[THIS IS HIS NONRESPONSE TO THE "REX" STUFF.]

2/2

[paradoxlol]

So that's it? A door from one world to another, and nothing in between?

[getlostforever.livejournal.com]

[And Neil just thinks it's that dork Rex again and ignores the post. HUZZAH, NO SELF THREADING.]

[doctor-scarf.livejournal.com]

Well, I assume that the Admiral gave me directions and I landed here. After all, I do have my TARDIS with me.

[paradoxlol]

You assume?

[TARDIS HMMM. Note to self: look that one up.]

YOU LIKE SNARKY BRITISH GUYS, RIGHT?

[bigbad]

Didn't give it much thought.




...bloody hell. This could explain all those people who say I was here before when I don't remember it.

ARTHUR CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF THEM

[paradoxlol]

It doesn't look like you're in the minority there.

Are they at least using your actual name? [AND NOT THIS "REX" CRAP.] Because I'm certainly getting a few cases of mistaken identity, myself.

[toldastory]

No. The Admiral values his secrets quite a bit. I think it might be so that he doesn't get hit if ever shows up somehow. Or lynched. Welcome aboard, I'm Martha Jones, a warden here and the head of the infirmary.

[paradoxlol]

Sounds like a popular guy.

Arthur. And good to know. Is there a directory of all the positions here?

[goodgrasshopper]

...Huh. Now that you mention it, no, I guess I don't. I was just here, and trying to get stuff together, and figure out how to navigate this place.

I'm Molly, by the way. I'm a warden here.

[paradoxlol]

So, about in line with everybody else so far.

Arthur. Also a warden.

[Video for lols]

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

Strangely enough, it feels less than efficient when you have to live through it.

[STUBBORNLY STICKING TO VOICE]

[paradoxlol]

[But he's going fffff now.]

I'm sure it does. But if you could return to the real world, like no time at all has passed, I'd call it efficient. Certainly more than conventional prison.

[voice]

[clonedcuckoos.livejournal.com]

[Creepy stereo!]

Teleportation tends to do that. One gets used to it eventually. Welcome to the Barge.

[voice]

[paradoxlol]

[OH JOY. Arthur fiddles with his communicator to see what's up with the audio. HIVE MINDS ARE NEW TO HIM. IT DIDN'T COME UP IN THE RESEARCH.]

A veteran, I presume? And thanks.

Private / Voice

[everylittlegirl]

You're pretty clearly not Rex. I don't know why anyone confused it. Too.. articulate, I guess. And that's obviously when he was not all burned.

To answer your question, I died and woke up in my room here. Nothing between.

Private / Voice

[paradoxlol]

[CONGRATS, you're the first fake canonmate to throw him off!]

Ariadne?

[cisskabob]

I don't think I do, now that you mention it. I take it that's not just idle curiosity?

I'm Cissie, another Warden.

[paradoxlol]

For now it's pretty idle. A little bit of acclimation before assignments.

Arthur. It's a pleasure.

Goddammit I replied to this and it didn't post.

[championoftime]

I was aboard my TARDIS, but yes, I recall it. I transitioned from one phase of reality to another, boarded my ship, and came here. If I complete my task I'll be able to exist in another universe.

You can call me the Doctor, by the way. Dr. John Smith to avoid confusion, should you stumble across the other two of me.

Sorry for the MEGA DELAY

[paradoxlol]

Transitioned from one phase of reality to another? What was that like? [Pause, and he clears his throat.] If you don't mind answering. It's something of a new concept to me.

More twins, Dr. Smith?

[empirical_data]

I do recall. It felt felt very much like a transporter beam.

I am Data, former Lt. Commander of the USS Enterprise NCC 1701 D. I find that to be an incredibly unusual question to ask in your current situation.

[Observant android is observant and wondering wtf is up with you.]

[paradoxlol]

Why would it be an unusual question? Not all of us come from worlds where transporter beams are common.

[darknessb4me]

I woke up.

[paradoxlol]

Inmate?
