I know that there is a lot unknown and unexplained. There are a lot of questions that we'd like the answers to. I'd rather focus on what is known.

[ Who wouldn't? But she's information collecting. Maybe get enough questions together and take them all to a god. Maybe ]

I'd like to know what your experience was like arriving here. From the amount of people that have mentioned feeling sick after arriving it's clear that something has changed. Is there anything specific that you remember? Has anyone reported similar experiences before?

[ The sickness. Drowning. Seeing the sight of burning cities... people. She's felt it all, remembers it. And now she's hearing things - cries, feeling emotion that she knows she isn't feeling herself. What is it? ]

Has anything out of the ordinary happened recently? Anything that could cause the change?

[ Out of the ordinary for war, anyway. She's been going over the information but there is a lot there. Any filling in would definitely be appreciated ]

It doesn't matter what it is, anything could be important.

[Given he'd been having odd memories even before he'd arrived here, hearing Kosh's voice when he shouldn't have, that was a question which wasn't so easy to answer.]

You think it's a recent happening? Have you heard from many more people about it?

And memories... that's a little more complicated.

[brainsqueeze]

I've spoken to both people that have just arrived and those that have been here for a few months. So far only those that have just arrived have reported any sickness.

[onewho_willbe]

So the next question is what was so different this time?

[brainsqueeze]

That's what I'm hoping to find out. If anything similar did previously happen the memories of the event were hidden.

[onewho_willbe]

Unfortunately, I can't be much help there as I literally have only just arrived, so have got no comparison to go on.

But it sounds like there has been a change?

[brainsqueeze]

Something has altered. Unless the gods know why we won't know the extent of it until others arrive, whether it will continue or worsen.

[ If it worsens will people eventually arrive dead? ]

[onewho_willbe]

Have you worked out how often people arrive?

[And now he's curious.]

[brainsqueeze]

The shortest that anyone has mentioned being here is a month, but I haven't asked everyone.

[onewho_willbe]

It will be interesting to find any more newer arrivals, just to try and get a handle on things.

[brainsqueeze]

Unless the situation changes, but anything could tell us something knew.

[ When you didn't know anything everything helped ]

It will be nice to work something out.

[onewho_willbe]

Would you mind letting me know if you find something out? I've grown curious now.

[brainsqueeze]

I'll contact you when something comes up. I can't promise it'll give any answers, but knowing anything about it is more helpful than knowing nothing.

[onewho_willbe]

Oh trust me, things not making sense and not giving answers? I'm probably the expert on that. [Seriously. Have you ever dealt with Vorlons?]

[brainsqueeze]

Then you might be well equipped for this if there isn't much that adds up.

[onewho_willbe]

Well, I wouldn't say that, but I'd certainly give it a go.

I'm Captain John Sheridan, by the way.

[brainsqueeze]

Maria Hill. Where are you from, Captain?

[onewho_willbe]

Earth originally, though most recently on the space station Babylon 5. Yourself?

[brainsqueeze]

Earth. Where's the station?

[onewho_willbe]

Epsilon Eridani system. About ten and a half light years from Earth.

[brainsqueeze]

[ Somewhere she's not heard of. Obviously. But now she knows what's out there - that something could be ]

What's it for? I'm assuming there's something there.

[onewho_willbe]

I'm guessing you're from what I would consider the past? [He'd noticed that a lot in Asgard.] I suppose the closest definition would be your United Nations, set in the heart of intergalactic space.

[brainsqueeze]

Sounds a little familiar. What year was it?

[onewho_willbe]

2260. Just about to turn into 2261, actually.

[brainsqueeze]

Is space a common occurrence then?

[onewho_willbe]

Living in space, dealing with aliens? Very common.
