Meet-n-Greet

[cityship]

After being released from stasis, having the slime removed from their bodies and clothed in the creepy, pulsing leaf-suit that everyone wore, and being taken to the Weapons & Possessions lockers to collect their belongings, the new arrivals would find themselves standing in the Observation Deck. Round windows lined the fleshy walls, revealing the bright display of lights that was inter-dimensional travel. They would also discover that there were people--members of the command staff and crew that had woken earlier--waiting for them.

Staring at makes John glower, a little, before turning away. "Yes, bubble tech."

"What're you, his dad or something?" Oh, Allison. The things you say. "I didn't know we brought people forward."

[antitachyonic.livejournal.com]

"No." Deep breath and frowning. "No. And it's not very often, they're usually sent back from what I can tell."

She tilts her head again. "Okaaay." Hmming. "You must be important then. Who sent you forward?"

[antitachyonic.livejournal.com]

"Important." You'd think it was poison, the way John says it. "Tired of that. I hitched a ride with a woman named Catherine Weaver. Her son and my friend had bubbled out ahead of us."

Kinda sorta the truth, right?

"Your friend who I remind you of?" That's not exactly untrue, is it? "Or her son?"

[antitachyonic.livejournal.com]

"Yes, the friend you remind me of. They both had gone forward but I'd never met her son before."

"Huh. Weird." Shrugs. Shall they move on?
