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.

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

[ 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.

[brainsqueeze]

When did that start?

[onewho_willbe]

We started colonizing the solar system around 2090, made first contact with an alien race in 2156. We've just kept expanding from then.

[brainsqueeze]

[ They've kind of got it a little backward on her end. Alien encounters first, who knows about the colonising. They can't keep control on their own planet so far, not with aliens popping up too ]

It takes away some of the shock of being here. Other worlds and people, anyway.

[onewho_willbe]

True. Very true. But to me... everything seems a little backward, almost.

[He wasn't sure that he'd ever get used to how things were here.]

[brainsqueeze]

A lot is different on Asgard. They work things differently.

[onewho_willbe]

So I'm seeing. It's an unusual place, I'll give it that.
