Why would anyone want to leave?

Stuck on a living space ship, entire universes away from home, and living with characters from Star Trek. Yeah, Loren definitely needed some down time. Which was why she was in the Sensoriums playing baseball.

Or rather just hitting a ball over and over. It was just creepy to play baseball with simulated people.

"Hi" he replied. He didn't show it, but he was beginning by now to understand why Ax played with words sometimes. It was wierd after using thought-speech so much. "I came in this way so I wouldn't have a midair collision" he said. "What's going on?"

"I've tried...I don't know how good I'd be at it now though. It's wierd...even though this is the body I was born in, it feels wierd now. I feel like I'm halfway blind when I have human eyes.

"Oh." That would explain the squinting.

Loren really wished she knew what she was supposed to say right now. "We don't have to if you don't want. We can just talk." About what she didn't know.

Yeah, I guess...what about?" It was hard not to be a little awkward talking to her. "I do understand trying to find things to do. I'm a little bored too. Plus trying so hard to think of a way to keep us all together after we finally leave here keeps giving me headaches."

"Oh that," Loren frowned. "I try not to think about it. I can't think of anything I can do to stop it. Maybe once we learn more about why we're here and how..."
