Newbie Meet N' Greet

[cityship]

Meet n' Greet, smell my feet, gimme something good to eat! Unfortunately, the newbie meet and greet takes place the same time the command staff is congregating, so they might be a little late to the party.

But the crew is there to welcome the newcomers and explain their situation. At the end of the milling and spilling about, the command staff is going to start a general meeting to apprise everyone of their situation and discuss their next course of action:

Getting off the damn ship.

Olivia gave a nod. "That makes sense. I'm not sure what I'd do if I were in that situation. I'll make sure to keep a straight face. I've been told I have a good poker face."

"So 'transdimensional' not only means alternate realities but also completely different worlds. I'll make sure to keep that in mind."

Wyn shrugs. "I just... avoid mentioning it, if at all possible. I mean, hopefully someone's explained to them about the whole thing, and it's not something that comes up in conversation often." And if she is acting oddly because of the whole thing? It's easy for her to explain away as temporary insanity.

"... and also different planets." she adds belatedly.

"Of course, I didn't intend to mention it at all. I meant that I would act like it was completely normal, since I'm sure there are people who simply can't refrain from acting differently in that situation." She pulled a strand of hair behind her ear, trying to think of how to phrase her next question.

"Is there some universal definition to 'world' and 'realities' here?"

Interesting question. "I'd say people are more likely to use 'planets' and 'universes' for the actual physical place they're from and their version of reality respectively. It's slightly less baffling." Wyn says thoughtfully, biting her lip. "... that is what you meant, isn't it?"

Olivia nodded. "That's exactly what I meant. We referred to other universes as 'realities' or 'dimensions' back home. It's easiest if I go by the norm here, to avoid confusion."
