[Tris sounds tense. She had so many questions in mind when she first arrived that she never got around to taking to the network. Now's not the time for any of them, except this one.]

So destruction and fighting and everything aside. Does anyone know... how long someone can stay uhm. Passed out in a coma? I know some people dream of what's happening at home like that but how long does it normally last?

Never stopped me from trying. The Doctor - my Doctor anyway - has travelled it for more than a thousand years. He may be the one who has seen most of it.

That's an incredibly long time. And did you travel with him?

I know. Rather unbelievable. Yet it's true. Not all the time. For him it must have been like a blink of an eye, the nights we travelled together, the days we crossed paths. But they were my everything.

So that's why you called him your Doctor.

What was your favourite out of all the places you've been?

Yes. That's why. Oh, that is a decision I cannot make I am afraid. Hard to pick a favourite when every place was special in its own way. Where would you like to go if you could decide on something, no boundaries?

I don't know.

In the city I lived they didn't teach us anything about the rest of the world. Just that there was a lot of war. Nobody leaves because nobody knows what's outside of it, or if there's anything at all, so there's no point.
I never even noticed until I got here.

Do you know whether what they told you is true?

No. Some of it, maybe. Maybe I'll find out one day when I get back.

Knowing this world now, what would you like the world outside of your city to be like?

I... I dodn't know.

Not as horrible and completely destroyed as they made it sound, I guess. And with all sorts of different people in it. I think it'd be pretty terrifying if it was just us, considering how big the world probably is.

I understand that. That thought is ... really terrible. I hope you will find what you look for upon your return, Tris. Anything else you'd like to ask me?

Has there ever been anything you wanted to forget?

[The text does not arrive as promptly as the others did.]

Honestly? No. I also wouldn't want to go back and change anything. My life was good, I was loved, I loved. I wouldn't want to miss any part of it. It's what I got and nobody can take it from me.

[this text also takes a minute to arrive. still letting the past tense sink in.]

If they gave you a choice, would you leave Asgard?

If given a choice I would stay. This is where I ... can be with my husband and parents. This is my second chance to do everything I didn't have time for. Would you like to forget anything? Or leave Asgard if you could?

[This one takes even longer than the last.]

I'd go home if I could. There are some things that I need to do.

And I don't know, I mean. There is something I wish I hadn't done, but if I can't undo it, I don't think I should get to forget about it either. Seems like I'd be running away from it.

I hope you will then. It sounds important. ... yes, maybe it would be. The sad part about our actions is that we never can predict what one will lead to, so if we chose to undo one of them - even if we could - how could we be sure this new action would not cause something worse to happen?

I don't know. We can't be sure it couldn't somehow have turned out better, either. I think if we could just go back over and over again and try to do it better instead, we'd never learn to live with the decisions we do make. So there's no point.
