[so … rey is missing. he's tried to check on her, found some of her belongings (and took them for safekeeping in fear of the worst…), but no her. with hux lurking around, it's really hard not to fear the worst. but he's gonna keep it together and make a nice normal network post everything is a-ok here it's fuckin' fine!!]

How many of you are from a place with normalized space travel? The more people I talk to, the more I realize it's rare. I was thinking, maybe if I had enough people who were interested and had the right knowledge … who knows what could happen. We could put together a ship, go exploring. This wouldn't be an instant thing, I know it'd take a lot of time and work. But if other people are interested, we could try and make it happen.


[jk it's not fine aw here it goes]

And I was just wondering: has anyone seen Rey around? She's new, too, so I don't know how many people would actually know her … but she was living on the fourth floor in communal housing. Brown hair, carried around a staff sometimes?

Not normalized, where I'm from, but normally I would be able to travel to different dimensions with my magic. Here, it's not working. So, maybe a ship would be a good alternative if you're able to find out what galaxy you're even in.

[ Because yeeeeaaah. It's a little worrisome to dwell on. ]

When was the last time you saw her?

[followhim]

[so there were a lot of confusing things in that first sentence but poe thinks he gets it. maybe. so he decides to just move along.]

I think so. I know they're big on keeping us in, with the perimeter and everything, so maybe space travel would be out of the question. But if we were just taking a quick look around, an exploration mission ... maybe it'd be approved? I don't know.

I saw her right after Memoria, but it's been radio silence since then.

[interesting how it was right after he tried to warn her about hux ... not that he's gonna say that on the public network ... but he's definitely thinking it.]

The humans went to the moon in my world.

[followhim]

Really? Just the moon? That's still something, I guess.

[soundsfishy]

They're trying, at least. I don't know much about if they did anything else.

Do your world have serious space travel, then? Like other planets and stuff?

[followhim]

Yeah! Really serious. I explored whole star systems.

[ When he sees this, he listens for Rey's heartbeat at once. He can't find her at all, and Clark knows what that means. ]

I'm sorry to tell you this, she's not here anymore.

[followhim]

[he doesn't know what to make of this anonymous message — but he figures if it was hux, he'd rather leave poe in paranoid suspense, so. this is probably a benign stranger.]

Thanks for letting me know.

Done the whole ship thing, but it wasn't really for space so much as realities ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Your best bet's gonna be scouring the abandoned city for usable shit. I'm pretty fucking good at scrapping if you need a hand.

[followhim]

Thanks for the tip! I might take you up on that. I don't have a whole lot of scrapping experience.

[spellslots]

It's a good way to keep a ship running if you're stuck in another reality.

Not sure about a propulsion system, what we used isn't something I can replicate here.

[followhim]

Yeah, I figure that's going to be the major issue in trying to build anything here. But we won't know unless we try, right?

[ well someone considers this Serious Business. ]

She's a friend of yours?

[followhim]

That's right. We came from the same world. But I think she's really gone now.

[fingerstripes]

Hold that thought.

[ He doesn't trust the public records in this place, but as a police officer he kind of can't not trust on some level that the people in charge of them at least believe what they say. Poe deserves to know, either way.

Thirty minutes later: ]

The city keeps public records of everyone that's sent back. She's on that list, right now.

[followhim]

Hey, thanks. At least now I know, instead of wondering if something happened to her beyond the perimeter.

[or if hux kidnapped her for fun torture time]

I was. My dad took me to more than a dozen other worlds when I was a kid.

That's a good idea. if we're here to help this dimension as a whole, then we're here to help more than just this moon I'd think.

( She wishes she could talk about this stuff off anon, but sadly that's impossible for now. )

[followhim]

Really? Wow. My mom let me sit in the cockpit with her when I was a kid, but it was mostly patrol runs around our home planet. I didn't really see other worlds until I was older. Actually, maybe we could do something like that here. Have a perimeter guard around the moon, patrolling.

But anyway, you're right. I think that, too.

[clobbers]

Hey, that's a great idea! Which means the perimeter guard could recruit and train pilots to do it. So far it seems almost like 'only the martially inclined need apply' and I've been hoping to change that.

( Because she'd never have gotten anywhere without her non-warrior friends backing her up. )

I wonder if we're in the majority or minority. Out of curiosity, have you ever heard of a planet called Earth?

( Kara may or may not be trying to gauge how far away where he'd grown up is from where she had. )

[followhim]

Majority or minority of what? People who have been to different planets? It seems like minority to me, but that's part of why I made this post.

I've heard of it since coming here, but not before.

It's not the most normal thing in my world, perhaps. But one of my good friends is from the moon.

( maybe she should mention that he's also a talking gorilla? )

I would be incredibly interested in going exploring. This is a brand new world, who knows what it holds. Though, I'm afraid I can't help with your friend, though. If I see her, I'll let her know you're looking for her.

[followhim]

That's all right. I'd still appreciate your help with the exploring! We're all in this together. I'd love to see what's out there, too.

[valkyre]

It's curious to think about what could be different or similar to our own worlds.

But in yours, space travel is normal. What is it like? What are the worlds like, and how many are there?

[juniberries]

It is incredibly common where I'm from. But for some in my universe, normalized space travel is still unheard of, strangely enough.

I am unfortunately not an engineer nor a technician but-- putting together a ship does sound promising.

[followhim]

I'll take whatever help I can get, as long as you're interested and willing. Having some sort of knowledge base is still worth something, even if you aren't an engineer or technician.
