[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.

[whateverthemess.livejournal.com]

...Right. You just sound almost exactly like him. Sorry. Karrin Murphy, warden. Are you new?

[Private-visible to Uhura.]

You got the ventilator fixed again?

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

[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.

[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.

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.

[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]

So, when you say "almost exactly," are you implying that I sound like Darth Vader?

Arthur. And you could say that.

[Private]

[whateverthemess.livejournal.com]

...Classy. He was injured.

Why the question about arrival?

Voice

[paradoxlol]

[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.]

[paradoxlol]

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

No, I'm not Rex.

[paradoxlol]

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

[This is hippie scientist Fischer, DUH.]

The explosion of a sun, for instance.

Let me know if you find one. I would be interested to hear any varying experiences.

[paradoxlol]

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

[paradoxlol]

You assume?

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

HAVE SOME PSEUDOSCIENCEBABBLE.

[deusexmechanic.livejournal.com]

Nothing that I remember in between.

Could be that there are things that happen to you en route to the Barge, but that consciousness such as we are capable of isn't able to decoding those things into anything that we could recognize alongside our understanding of the human experience.

I mean, It's just a theory, but it could also have something to do with why none of us seem able to get a good grip on a memory of the Admiral.

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.

[doctor-scarf.livejournal.com]

I have the right to do that, you know.

[paradoxlol]

Sounds like a popular guy.

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