( 01 - text ) un: mercy

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.

I'm sure we could find others, too.

That's probably due to too many fighters and not enough scholars.
[ Or rather, too many kids considering the long-term goal of this place is to just... settle down. ]

Sure helps the "we're all in it together" vibe.

Yeah, there's no one single reason for anything. Still, if you need help just hit me up.

You're probably not wrong, but I get the feeling that some people blame the guys in charge for the whole mess, too. That can change how you think about your stay here.

[ He won't need medical help and you can't make him!! aka he is immortal and will likely never need to, but the thought is... nice??? probably? ]

You've got it, Angela.
