[He chooses text over audio or video because it makes more sense. The technology of these devices is interesting, but he’s not ready for using more technology right now. Text is efficient enough and he can maintain some amount of anonymity despite his name being available. He doesn’t know who may be watching.]

Although, I am grateful for the orientation and helpful information I have recieved in the days since my arrival, it cannot instill the unique perspective of those who have been brought here and their experiences. I would appreciate hearing those perspectives and if those brought here are indeed seeking the new home that was expressed by the assistants.

It is not a sentiment I am sure that I believe, but as I said, each perspective is unique.

I suppose it is possible that someone came here seeking a new home.

That wasn't me or my teammate. We have something to do back home and this is keeping us from it.

[heartofasamurai]

I understand that feeling of leaving things unfinished. Someone else has mentioned the sense of displacement would be a better deciding factor and I agree.

I did not want to leave my world, either, but I did wish to leave the exact location in which I was in. Did you feel something similar?

[lionunchained]

Leave the exact location we were in? Yes I did. It was necessary to our plan that we leave the location we were in for somewhere else. This is not exactly what I meant.

[heartofasamurai]

I believe you have misunderstood, I should have been more clear. I did not mean in the essence of wanting to move from one location to another, but feeling as if you were in a place you did not want and could not stay in with having a concrete idea of where you could go.

The desire to be anywhere but where you were at that time. It is a common feeling for people to have, for different reasons.

[lionunchained]

Possibly. I don't recall thinking that, but it doesn't mean I didn't. There was a lot going on and our plan had a bug in it so we were having to scramble to fix it. That was the place we needed to be though

[heartofasamurai]

It is similar, but different from my own experience. If you knew exactly where you needed to be, then it is not the same as feeling wholly displaced. There must be a less obvious common denominator the portal uses to link to the people it connects with.

[lionunchained]

I've wondered about that. They've said it was because I wanted to leave but that's not really the case. Of course they have their theory so why worry about anything else. There has to be something else.

[Cynical? No not at all]

[heartofasamurai]

I am interested in hearing those other theories. They may believe theirs is the most likely but that does not mean the others should be dismissed without due scrutiny. Would you know any of the other more prevalent beliefs?

[lionunchained]

Personally, I don't know any other theories. I have noticed that the portal seems to pull a lot of people different skills, mainly fighting or something similar. A large number of the Quarantine residents are in the Perimeter Guard in the special units for work. I don't think that's a coincidence.

[heartofasamurai]

So they have a variety skills, but they are combat-related? Are there few doctors or farmers?

[lionunchained]

There are some who don't really have any fighting skills and have no interest in it. One of the girls I've met here has no interest in fighting at all. Of course there are people in other professions as well, but it seems strange.

[heartofasamurai]

I see. Thank you for the information. I wonder if our unique skills also influence what factors lead to us being chosen for this endeavor. It seems I will learn little if I do not ask more people directly of their experiences

[lionunchained]

You're welcome. I'd be interested in hearing other theories if you come across them. That's what I noticed since I've been here.

I'm Shiro.

[heartofasamurai]

I hope others here are as willing to share their information and theories as you.

I am Seiji. Should I find out more, I will relay it to you. It is only fair.

[lionunchained]

Hopefully they are. There's probably a lot of those out here and it would benefit us if we could work to figure what is going on here.

Thanks. If I found out anything else, I'll pass it along as well
