I'd never considered that other worlds or realities might exist when I was at home. We're rather advanced technologically speaking, but I had been so focused on things in my own world that the possibility of there being others didn't even cross my mind.

Though things were quite busy anyway, and I'm more a doctor than I am a scientist, so perhaps that can be excused.

( this would probably be more winston's area. he was always more interested in science and answers and other planets and worlds - understandable, given his own home, and the focus on lena's time bending and jumping issues. angela is a doctor first, interested in medicine and how she can help people, using science and technology to do that. it's a single-minded focus that she's been stubborn about for almost her whole life.

but being pulled into a new world can very much push that to the wayside, she's found. )

Have any of you experienced something like this before, or is it completely new to you? And for those of you who have been here longer, what do you make of this place? The other people here, its traditions, the world itself, etc. I'm curious to know.

It doesn't seem as though there's any correlation between the people that are brought here by the portal. Unless I'm missing something, that is - I haven't had the chance to research it properly, since I haven't been here that long.

It's interesting that there are other places that do the same thing as they do here, however. I wonder if they can bring people from one to another, or if it's just from their original home?

Well, that's certainly good to hear, though as I don't know how bad the spaceship was perhaps I can't judge just by that. Was it terrible on Eluvio?

I haven't found any correlation myself. Even if there was one, it would be impossible to say if that was actually the "reason" that we were brought here, right? So it's mostly been a thing to think about idly.

I was brought here directly from that spaceship, if that helps at all. As for how it was, there were some unsolved murders, the ship had lost power for some time, leaving us without gravity or oxygen, and the tension between everyone was beginning to be too much. I thought I was really going to die, you know?
