	</div></div></div></div><div style="display: block; margin-bottom: 5px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 10px;">Consciousness returns by inches.  <br>
<br>
<div style="display: block; margin-bottom: 5px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 10px;">At first, you are aware of pressure beneath you.  Then the sensation of coolness followed by hardness.  As the seconds tick by, the pressure resolves and becomes something firm yet padded.  The cool metal comes from thin support bars along the bed.  Your own waking body's sensations call for more attention, though.  You're breathing but it's an effort.  It takes conscious thought to breathe.  And to feel.  Your mind feels wrapped in a blanket, muffled from the world.  <br>
<br>
<div style="display: block; margin-bottom: 5px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 10px;">Minutes pass and you begin to feel more like yourself, to even be aware of being yourself.  Your nervous system has at last sorted out how everything fits together, allowing your fingers to grip those support bars or legs to press against the footboard of the medical bed.  Vision and hearing are the last to return, though at first there's not much to hear beyond realizing that strange rhythmic noise is you breathing.  <br>
<br>
<div style="display: block; margin-bottom: 5px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 10px;">A dull metallic ceiling greets your eyes when they first open.  Bright light projects from panels towards the far wall, yet the dark, well-used walls seem to absorb it, leaving you shrouded in light and darkness.  There's an astringent smell in the air, of too much clean and nothing natural whatsoever.  Gradually other details become apparent.  This is a room.  It contains beds bolted into the floor for stability.  <br>
<br>
<div style="display: block; margin-bottom: 5px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 10px;">And the other beds are occupied.<br>
<div style="clear: both;"><div style="display: none;">.</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>

<br>
Her mind is freed from the grip of unnatural sleep before her eyes or ears, and so it is her mind that she first sends out to explore this strange place. It soon recoils, however; the man who was with her what seemed like moments before is gone, and in his place are... <i>aliens</i>. Minds as unlike her own as those of animals and beasts of burden. Not even travellers from faraway places in the west or east are like these.<br>
<br>
As sight and movement returns to her, she looks around her with fright in her eyes, and mirroring that fright, she draws up her knees before her, hiding behind her legs. She hugs herself closely as her mouth whispers the words of a Sumerian prayer;<br>
<br>
 "Gracious Ishtar, who rules over the universe,<br>
Heroic Ishtar, who creates humankind,<br>
who walks before the cattle, who loves the shepherd...<br>
Without you the river will not open<br>
the river which brings us life will not be closed,<br>
without you the canal will not open,<br>
the canal from which the scattered drink<br>
will not be closed...<br>
Where you cast your glance, the dead awaken, the sick arise;<br>
The bewildered, beholding your face, find the right way..."<br>
<br>
What others see is a naked woman with the darkened skin of mesopotamia, her black hair is a mess of curls as she hugs herself in fear. Her fingers are adorned with rings of gold, her arms with rings of bronze, and around her neck is a choker with triangular beads of gold and lapiz lasuli.<br>

Lyrics:<br>
Up to mighty London<br>
Came an Irishman one day.<br>
As the streets are paved with gold<br>
Sure, everyone was gay,<br>
Singing songs of Piccadilly,<br>
Strand and Leicester Square,<br>
Till Paddy got excited,<br>
Then he shouted to them there:<br>
<br>
<b>Chorus</b><br>
<i>It's a long way to Tipperary,<br>
It's a long way to go.<br>
It's a long way to Tipperary,<br>
To the sweetest girl I know!<br>
Goodbye, Piccadilly,<br>
Farewell, Leicester Square!<br>
It's a long long way to Tipperary,<br>
But my heart's right there.</i><br>
<br>
Paddy wrote a letter<br>
To his Irish Molly-O,<br>
Saying, "Should you not receive it,<br>
Write and let me know!"<br>
"If I make mistakes in spelling,<br>
Molly, dear," said he,<br>
"Remember, it's the pen that's bad,<br>
Don't lay the blame on <i>me!</i><br>
<br>
<b>Chorus</b></div>

<br>
Smiling broadly, the last thing Chauncey remembered before coming to the present moment was sitting down in the comforts of his chair for a nap.   He was at home again, <i>home!  </i>And he well-remembered how he had gotten there.<br>
<br>
After three long and bloody years on the front lines of World War One, after serving day and night without a break for all that time, shooting, serving, trying to put men back together, the dawn finally broke.  One early morning Sunday a clean and well-dressed messenger from personnel had hastily pulled blood-stained, battle-weary Chauncey from his many patients on the front lines.  There, he doffed his hat in apology and gave Chauncey a yellowed document.<br>
<br>
"You see, sir," the dour-faced fellow had explained with great emotion, "you were <i>mistaken </i>for a Mr. Chauncey Round, a farmhand out of Wales!  No one in all England had <i>any idea</i> that Doctor Chauncey Roundbottom was anywhere <i>near</i> the frontlines!  Not until yesterday when that <i>thing </i>happened you were involved in.  We are <i>dreadfully sorry </i>for this paperwork mixup--"<br>
<br>
After these terrible years in war, Chauncey was at his absolute worst, at his very wits end.  It was now only his Gang that had kept him from cracking under the stress.  They were always by his side, but only in his head.  To the messenger, he shouted, something he had been long used to as a man in constant battle.  "Do my ears work?  Did you just say you are...  are 'sorry' for sending me to the Devil's front gates for the past three years?  Now if someone so much as slaps a table hard, I <i>leap </i>on people to keep them from being shelled?  'Ho ho, it was all a terrible accident, dear boy?  Do forgive us?'"<br>
<br>
The messenger cringed.  Chauncey raged on.  <i>"Curse this infernal war!  I have had my fill of it!  </i>People killing people when otherwise they might be sharing tea!  I have watched nearly every lad I grew up with get blown up or shot up or gone utterly mad!  I have saved everyone I could but I have lost count of how many I have lost!  I have had no reprieve for <i>three years</i> except to get rid of those monstrosities yesterday--"<br>
<br>
"Yes, yes, about that, if you will pardon my interruption?"<br>
<br>
Chauncey paused to listen.<br>
<br>
"Dear sir!  You are the only one alive that seems to know what happened!  The enemy forces, those strange things, <i>tanks</i>, I think they called them, that came in plowing over everyone, well there has been no sighting of them anywhere!  They say <i>you </i>did it!  Sent them back to wherever they came!  Everyone here says you are to be <i>commended</i>..."  Chauncey snarled and waved him off.  It surprised him.  Chauncey had never snarled at anyone before.  He turned his back on the messenger and began making his way through the battlefield to go back to his patients when the man added, <i>"...and you are to report home immediately!"</i><br>
<br>
That word stopped Chauncey Roundbottom in his tracks as sure as an artillery shell.  "Home?"<br>
<br>
"Yes, sir!"  The messenger smiled as if for the first time and pulled a second document from his case.  "You are going <i>home!"<br>
</i><br>
<div style="text-align: center">*​</div><br>
<b>"Chauncey's Gang"</b><br>
<br>
Home!  The very last thing Chauncey remembered was putting on his overcoat and sitting down in his chair, in his living room,<i> in his family home, </i>for a short nap.  He had his cane, his pipe, and everything except for a nice cuppa - he had not had a single good cup of tea in three years.  But now, dressed as the gentleman he was, Chauncey was ready to catch train and buggy to Oxford University again and the hospitals nearby.  But first, a nice, little rest was in order.  And so, top hat in his lap, cane at his side, he nodded off.<br>
<br>
It was so quiet.  So <i>delightfully</i> quiet.  <i>And restful!</i>  No artillery fire, no guns, no screaming anymore.  Just <i>peace.</i>  He was there in this state of mind for a blissfully long time, his first since the War to End All Wars started.  He dared wonder.  Was this perhaps a little bit of heaven?<br>
<br>
<i>And then some daft gang of fools began trying to rile Chauncey out of it...</i><br>

Lyrics:<br>
One, two, three, four.<br>
<br>
You, you blew my mind<br>
You turned back time<br>
You changed my tune<br>
I looked in your eyes<br>
Saw starry skies<br>
The sun and moon<br>
<br>
And you’re a dreamer just like me<br>
We don’t need reality<br>
We’re in our own world (Our own little world)<br>
We’re in our own world (Our own little world)<br>
We’re in our own world<br>
That nobody else can see<br>
Dee dee-dee dee, dee dee-dee, dee, dee dee-dee<br>
Dee dee-dee dee, dee dee-dee, dee, dee dee-dee<br>
<br>
We been writing rhymes<br>
And trading lines<br>
It sounds so good<br>
We been making plans<br>
To start some bands<br>
Just like we should<br>
<br>
And you’re a schemer just like me<br>
Got no fear of authority<br>
We’re in our own world (Our own little world)<br>
We’re in our own world (Our own little world)<br>
We’re in our own world<br>
That nobody else can see<br>
<br>
And no one knows where we go or what we do<br>
And I don’t mind wasting all my time with you<br>
<br>
’Cause you’re a dreamer just like me<br>
Really don’t need reality<br>
We’re in our own world (Our own little world)<br>
We’re in our own world (Our own little world)<br>
We’re in our own world<br>
That nobody else can see (Dee dee-dee dee, dee dee-dee, dee, dee dee-dee)<br>
Except you and me (Dee dee-dee dee, dee dee-dee, dee, dee dee-dee)<br>
Except you and me (Dee dee-dee dee, dee dee-dee, dee, dee dee-dee)</div>

"Chaunce!  Hey, Chaunce!"  It was Tommy.  Young, bull-headed, brave Tommy who lived in the 1950s as a bodyguard to Italian mafia in Chicago.  "Ya gotta get up!  It's important!"<br>
<br>
What was that?  Chauncey wondered.<br>
<br>
"Tommy <i>right</i>, Choo-an-cee!  Betta wake up!"  This sweet little voice virtually pulling on Chauncey's shoulders was Nina, a dear little village girl of the 15th century in what is now Brazil.  "Pleeeeeease?"<br>
<br>
Oh, God!  Did he <i>have</i> to wake up?<br>
<br>
"Yes, you must!"  The old man with the thick Japanese accent was the wisest of them all.  This was Tokurai from the century after that.  "A new adventure awaits!  There is good to be done!"<br>
<br>
Chauncey sighed.  "Well, why can't the rest of you be good to <i>me</i> for once and just let me rest?"<br>
<br>
"Because!"  It was cheery Doctor Vamu.  "Heals with Laughter" was the meaning blind African witch doctor's name and he was every bit the phrase.  Nearly everything he said was said in heartfelt, positive tones.  "If you do not, you might not wake up, <i>and then you might die horribly!" </i> All said with the biggest of smiles.  How Vamu made everything sound like a celebration no matter how dire was beyond Chauncey.<br>
<br>
More voices came into his mind, all of them urgent and serious.<br>
<br>
"Fine, fine!  <i>Out!</i> <i> All of you!"  </i>They obeyed.  After all, they were all the same person.  With that, his mind was mostly his own again.  He had sent them to the outer reaches of his awareness where they would lurk and wait and hope.<br>
<br>
But perhaps they were onto something, for Chauncey immediately discovered it was <i>very, very</i> difficult to attain wakefulness!</div>
		</div>
	</div>
</div><br>
<br>
<b>Present time</b><br>
<br>
Chauncey's eyes <i>finally</i> fluttered open, not that they worked well without his spectacles.  What was going on?  Even after one of Lily's drugged-out stupors or Doctor Vamu's deepest tribal trances, Chauncey had never slept <i>this</i> deeply in <i>any</i> of his lives!  Something was definitely amiss!<br>
<br>
Chauncey took a deep breath and sat up.  Where... or perhaps <i>when...</i> was he?  This did not look at all like his living room!  Where had his family home gone?  The first thing he noticed was the smell; this was the cleanest room he had ever been in this life.  He was sitting at the end of a row of tables...  <i>and each of them had people in them!</i>  As he reached for his spectacles, his nearsightedness failed to tell him of the occupant on the far end who had awoken before him.<br>
<br>
"Good heavens!" he declared.  "Can any of you hear me?  It is all right!  I am a doctor!"<br>
<br>
With that, Chauncey let his time and duty as a World War One medic take over.  He tried to dramatically roll out of the bed only to be stopped by one of the metal bars.  Grimacing in embarrassment, he took up his doctor's bag and went from bed to bed checking on each of the occupants.<br>

<br>
On the first bed (Marsh's character), Chauncey noticed a rather odd-looking machine of sorts.  Oh, the joy!   A machine to interact with and learn about!  But there were two things that, in all of Chauncey's adventures, had not yet until today been covered - <i>robots and aliens...</i><br>
<br>
Chauncey adjusted his glasses.  What could this device be?  And what, by glory, was the purpose of all these beds and the people in them?  Perhaps, he gasped, they were all part of some strange experiment?  And this...  this <i>gadget</i> was part and parcel involved!  Better to take it along!  He gently scooped up the little machine and carried it against his chest as if it were a tiny poodle.  "Perhaps you will be of use later.  Shall we see?"<br>
<br>
On the second bed (Subject's character), there was a young man just younger than Chauncey.  He was instantly reminded of all the young men he had served with in the war except this fellow seemed to be healthy-looking like any unconscious young man lying in a hospital bed.  Chauncey reached inside his doctor's bag and took the lad's vital signs.  They were slowed, but nothing seemed otherwise amiss.  He thought about waking the fellow, but perhaps that would be unwise.  Especially if this <i>was</i> all some crafty experiment!  "You seem healthy enough, good lad.  I do hope to chat with you... if you are able...  if <i>they</i> have not turned you into something...  <i>peculiar."<br>
</i><br>
On the third bed (Silanon's character), lay a monstrosity!  It was true!  All of it!  This <i>had</i> to be some horrible nightmare of a science game to some evil and twisted mind!  Chauncey reasoned that perhaps this fellow looked just like the one he had just visited, <i>except now the experiment had taken on!</i><br>
<br>
"Oh, in God's good name!"  Terrified, Chauncey crossed himself and wailed above the unconscious green-skinned creature.  "Just <i>look</i> what they have <i>done</i>!  I bet you were once just as handsome as this fellow beside you once, but <i>now look at you!</i>  Turned against your will into a reptile!  <i>And a detestably ugly one at that!  To be utterly transformed turned into some ungodly bloated bullfrog, oh, the horror!"  </i><br>
<br>
Chauncey sighed, defeated.  How could he do battle with such treacherous science?  Perhaps the little machine beside him had some setting to reverse the transformation!  Best to work on that later.  Solemnly, he stood at attention and performed the Lord's Prayer for the poor soul.  He continued his stroll.  There <i>had</i> to be someone else he could still save from this devilish fate!<br>
<br>
On the third bed (Kaerri's character), Chauncey saw a strong-looking fellow just older than he.  He compared this one with the young fellow on the first bed.  He bore a terrific mixture of human characteristics from apparently all over the world.  He had never seen anyone like this fellow. Could it be that this fellow was in mid-transformation?  Immediately, he checked for scales, gills, a tail, even dead flies on his person.  Nothing.  Chauncey sighed in relief.  Then he checked this man's vitals.  Like the first lad, this man's signs were strong yet slowed.  Plus, this man was armed with pistols <i>and</i> a cutlass of things in addition to other strange odds and ends.  A warrior?  A pirate of some kind?  Best to leave him be and hope he did not awake thirsting for flies or something equally unnatural.<br>
<br>
On the fourth bed (Arynne's character), Chauncey beheld a pretty lass.  Certainly, she seemed older than he, but she seemed a little like a fey creature from some fairy tale or another.  Chauncey found himself admiring her - she was cute in more ways than one, but what of her apparel?  Like both of the men he had examined, she wore odd clothing that he could just not place.  Was it time to ask the Gang?  Chauncey shrugged and instead checked her vital signs.  She was much like the others.  His attention returned to her apparel; it seemed to lean toward the scientific.  How delightful!  Another mind to share the sciences with!   And better yet, someone else who did not seem to need to carry weapons of war upon their person.  Chauncey smiled and moved on.<br>
<br>
It was on this fifth bed (Esbilon's character) that Chauncey noted that the body was not stretched out like a sleeping person, but instead curled up and looking at him!  Those eyes and her hair, her face, everything about her was tremendously beautiful!  Blimey!  He was shocked, taken aback, at first believing her not to be real but some strange apparition, but his mind so very well immersed in technology, medicine, and science would not allow further illusion.  He needed facts!<br>
<br>
He saw that she was breathing, that she was aware, and...  that someone had stolen her clothing!  Even her knickers!  Was there no limit to a person's selfishness as to steal from an unconscious lass?  But why leave the jewelry?  Could...  could it be?  No!  Perverts!  Scandalous and disgusting perverts!  These experimenters, whomever they were, were going to get a piece of his mind, by Jove!<br>
<br>
But first, a gentleman's duty required he attempt to return this lady to the realm of dignity!  But somehow he doubted she spoke a bit of the Queen's English.  Chauncey wondered if she were Egyptian.  She seemed like a woman from another time, but all that mattered now was that she was healthy <i>and clothed.</i><br>
<br>
With the best of compassionate intentions, Chauncey tipped his hat and smiled to her.  "Hello!' he tried to make eye contact and spoke slowly.  "I am <i>Chauncey.</i>  I am a doctor.  I do not expect you to understand my words, so if you please, hear the <i>heart</i> in them."<br>
<br>
He slowly and carefully withdrew his spectacle case from the inner pocket along with his papers and pens.  Then, he carefully took off his now-empty overcoat and offered it to her, or if she allowed, he draped it about her shoulders and then backed away and turned to allow her to button the coat without his prying eyes... or anyone else's he hoped.<br>
<br>
One question loomed over all - what to do in this peculiar new world he had found himself in?  He peered at the mechanical device (S.A.B.) in his hands and caressed it as if it were a living thing.  How he admired technology.  Perhaps, Chauncey mused, he could find a way to activate this device and get some answers?</div>

			<div class="bbCodeBlock-content">He bent attentively over his work, shaving a thin curl of wood here, a shred of sawdust there.  Wood was in short supply, most of it going to make the ships and other necessities, and so he'd learned to make his carvings from tiny bits indeed, which required not only more skill but a great deal more care.  A slip on a large block, and one could adjust.  A slip on one of these little ones, and the intended creature might have only three legs when it ought to have four, and that would never do.  He had little enough left to him, but his pride in his craftsmanship was a constant.  Some days, he felt it was the only constant...<br>
<br>
Torrey sat up straight with a sigh, setting the wood and knife on the table.  Apparently, focus was in short supply today too.  If he continued without it, he knew, the carving might get finished, and might even be technically correct, but it wouldn't have the <i>spirit</i> he sought to put into each.  Very well.  Perhaps it was time for something more active.  He stood up, folding the knife and dropping it and the partially-carved bit of wood into his pocket with its untouched fellows.  He liked to keep a few pieces on him in case opportunity arose between other tasks, when returning to his cabin aboard the pirate ship <i>Firecat</i> was impractical -- those moments between sighting prey and actually reaching cannon range, for instance.  And his fellow gunners seemed to take heart from his apparent unconcern for the upcoming battle, which was also a plus.<br>
<br>
There was no battle likely today, though.  Having taken two prizes earlier in the week, the captain had sent both back to Home Port with skeleton crews, which reduced available manpower considerably, and set those remaining to work on repairing the damage their prizes had done in return before being captured.  And at least the captain was a moderately good sort; the prizes' crews (those who hadn't been killed in the attack, at least) were <i>also</i> on the way back to Home Port, under guard, and would be sent back to their own homes as opportunity arose.  Torrey knew of plenty of pirates who would've tossed the lot, dead and living alike, over the side without a second thought.<br>
<br>
He unclipped one of his sheathed combat knives from his belt, sliding it into his left boot instead.  If his mind <i>would</i> focus on fighting today, he'd make use of that.  And maybe work off some excess energy into the bargain.  Not target practice, although he did take his two pistols.  Just because the captain had declared a day of repair and maintenance didn't mean the Government Military wasn't lurking about somewhere, and undercrewed or not, one had to be prepared.  No, today was for swordplay, he decided, reaching for his cutlass.  Drawing it from the sheath, he inspected it briefly before thrusting it back in with a nod, and clipped it to his belt in place of the knife.  If there was no one else in the sparring room (and it was unlikely; the others who shared his rest shift were primarily pistol-men), he could always do a bit of shadow-fencing against the dummies.  He scooped up a bit of leftover lunch and tucked it in another pocket, in case he got hungry, and turned to the cabin door.</div>
		</div>
	</div>
</div><br>
Awareness returned gradually.  When he drew in breath, an odd astringent smell filled his nostrils, vaguely reminiscent of the ship's infirmary.  Had he been injured?  He didn't feel any pain, not that he felt much of anything at the moment.  Part of him thought that worrisome.  The rest didn't care...yet.  Sensation returned to questing fingers, and he realized he was on a bed of some sort, barred on the sides in metal.  That didn't seem quite right.  He heard someone speaking.  A man, he thought vaguely.  The words seemed familiar, but he could make no sense of them.  His brow furrowed as he tried to pull his foggy mind into order.  With an effort, he forced his eyes open, fingers moving restlessly while his eyes stumbled into proper focus.  All motion suddenly stilled, save his heart, which sped into overdrive, as he saw the room around him.  <i>Good God, am I in quarantine?  I don't remember any leaks -- I checked the seals, the filters, everything!  There weren't any tears, I'd swear to it!</i>  On the other hand, neither did he remember <i>anything</i> after leaving his cabin for a bit of weapons practice.  Had he been injured and lost part of his memory?  His gaze darted around the room, noting the complete unfamiliarity of it all.  His mind evidently found that relaxing.  Surely quarantine would have <i>something</i> familiar, but even the lights were different here.<br>
<br>
Then he noticed the room's other occupants.<br>
<br>
Most of them seemed normal enough, if oddly dressed.  His eyes were caught and held by the one that <i>wasn't</i> normal -- the oversized, bulky blue-and-black lizard-thing on the bed next to him.  It had something that looked like a pistol, of a design as strange as the creature itself, and that set Torrey to sitting upright and reaching for his own firearms.  Somewhat surprised to find them both there, he glanced down at himself and realized all his gear was present, just as it was in his last memory.  That was strange enough, in a medical facility (for surely this was, whatever else it might be), that it shook his focus off his strange neighbor (who, after all, didn't appear to have woken up yet).  He turned to the one mobile person present just as that gentleman spoke again.<br>

			With the best of compassionate intentions, Chauncey tipped his hat and smiled to her. "Hello!' he tried to make eye contact and spoke slowly. "I am <i>Chauncey.</i> I am a doctor. I do not expect you to understand my words, so if you please, hear the <i>heart</i> in them."

Well, at least he spoke English.  Torrey glanced at the woman Chauncey was speaking to, and quickly looked away, blushing.  Poor girl, bad enough to wake up here -- wherever "here" was -- but to be naked too, in front of all these menfolk!  He swung his legs over the side of the bed and stood, testing his newly-woken strength, then cleared his throat to catch Doctor Chauncey's attention.  "Hey," he said.  "I'm Torrey.  Where are we, and what the --"  He glanced at the women present, despite one not being awake yet.  "--ah, what's going on here?"<br>
<br>
He too spoke English, with what those somewhat familiar with it would identify as a British accent, but those actually <i>from</i> the U.K. would find it puzzling to determine just what part of the island he was from.  Oxfordshire, possibly, or the Midlands, but neither of those was quite right.</div>

			<div class="bbCodeBlock-content">It was late. In the darkened halls of the museum, one room still had light.<br>
<br>
<i>...and they said to Balaam, son of Beor,<br>
"Why do you fast, and why do you weep?"<br>
Then he said to them: "Be seated, and I will relate to you what the Shaddayin have planned,<br>
And go, see what the elohim have done!"</i><br>
<br>
The woman bent over the shattered fragments of a plastered wall, moving and shifting them with the delicate concentration of someone assembling a 1,000-piece jigsaw puzzle. She had been at this since the tiny fragments had been delivered a week ago, and in that time she had had no more than four or five hours of sleep a night. It had been obvious at first glance that that red and black markings on the pieces were some kind of deliberate design, and the mystery of it had consumed her.<br>
<br>
<i>"The elohim have banded together;<br>
The Shaddayin have established a council,<br>
And they have said to Shagar and Ištar:<br>
'Sew up, close up the heavens with dense cloud...</i><br>
<br>
On the third day, she had realized that the markings were not geometric designs, but words -- words written in a dialect of Aramaic so archaic as to be closer to Canaanite. Bit by bit, the text began to emerge. Now, struggling to keep her fingers from trembling with fatigue, she slid the fragments around, trying combination after combination, until the last few lines were clear:<br>
<br>
<i>...That darkness exist there, not brilliance;<br>
Obscurity and not clarity;<br>
So that you instill dread in dense darkness.<br>
And - never utter a sound again!'</i><br>
<br>
After that, she knew nothing more.</div>
		</div>
	</div>
</div><br>
Darkness, dense and smothering, gave way to dim light, an astringent smell, and the unmistakable feel of a medical bed. For a moment, Ivy Llewis lay still, trying to process.<br>
<br>
<i>Obviously, I'm in a hospital somewhere. How did I get here? Was I an an accident?</i><br>
<br>
As her still-fuzzy brain chased itself round in circles, she realized something was off: the persistent beeping and clicking noises that seemed to be the background music of every hospital ever were completely absent. She could hear nothing. Nothing save her own breathing and--<br>
<br>
A burst of voices suddenly struck her ears: a woman, saying something in a frightened whisper she could not quite catch but which sounded naggingly familiar; a man speaking soothing words in a British accent; and another man, with a different British accent, sounding confused. Ivy sat bolt upright, then winced and clutched her head as the rapid shift in altitude sent spikes of pain through her skull.<br>
<br>
She forced her watering eyes open again, so she could see who was in the room with her, and then gasped suddenly, other concerns briefly driven from her mind at the sight. "Oh my lord...!"</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><b>Ahassunu</b><br>
<br>
A man walked up to her as she finished her prayer. He looked almost as alien as the place she found herself. Well-fed, though, clearly a man of great means, no mere commoner would have such a girth! His words were a garbled nonsense of strange noises, but his meaning was clear enough. <i>Chauncey</i> must be his name, though she despaired at the thought of wringing her mouth into a shape that could form such a sound, and he was offering her his cloak.<br>
<br>
"Ahassunu," she said, pointing at herself, as she reached out to take the garment from him. She allowed herself a small smile at that, it was a rare thing for a man to give her clothes, the opposite was much more common.<br>
<br>
She stared at the unfamiliar piece of clothing now in her hands. The cloth was unlike anything she had seen or touched before. Thicker than the thickest winter clothing, the threads and seems more carefully sewn than on the robes of nobles and priests. It was unadorned and dark, though, not at all in line with its quality.<br>
<br>
Carefully, she draped the thing around her shoulders. For a moment, she considered putting it on in the same manner the man, Chauncey, had, but quickly abandoned the thought. Her movement would be too greatly hampered in the unfamiliar garment if she had to run. Instead, she buttoned the top button and wore it as a cloak.<br>
<br>
With no immediate threat in sight, she let her legs slide down again and arranged the coat to mostly cover her, though it was probably a good thing she had long left the modesty of other women behind.<br>
<br>
"Thank you," she told him in Akkadian, and offered a smile that would probably do more to communicate her feelings than her words.</div>

	<div class="bbCodeSpoiler-content">
		<div class="bbCodeBlock bbCodeBlock--spoiler">
			<div class="bbCodeBlock-content">This was the day. Soldiers and scientists, technicians and aviators - everyone knew it once the thirteen seers gathered, scanning the sky for the inevitable sign of the Ancient One. He was right there, as close to them as they allowed - Kal'Zeveros on his right, and Kal'Lucadas on his left. Both of them in battle armor, prepared for whatever the future had in store for the Zil'Thaneian blades of the eigth cycle. After weeks of preparation, another attack was about to begin, as soon as the moment to strike was just right - today, presumably, since the seers never were wrong in their prophesy.<br>
<br>
They waited there, silently, for what felt like the life cycle of a kyot - calm as always, awaiting the orders of those who were in command. Finally, there was a light in the sky. As bright as a star, but quickly moving, like a meteor - and yet so much more than that. He was about to point it out when the chanting already started; only thirteen voices at first, then hundreds more, one after the other. The hymn of honor, the hymn of trust. And, in the end, the hymn of departure. Only he and his companions remained silent, as demanded by the traditions. If things worked well, they'd be here in twelve days, singing the hyms of glory and victory. Until then - twelve days and eleven nights, to land a strike against the enemies' heart. When the carols ended, he crossed his arms, and those around him followed quickly - a voiceless thanks from those who soon enough would only whisper into their mics until the task was fulfilled. In unison with his brothers and sisters, Kal'Thocalas, member of the eighth cycle, grabbed his mask and put it on. His vision became a bit more restricted, darker - and a more than familiar scent welcomed him. Neither sweet, nor truly delightful; the smell of ash, and death, and glory - the scent of war.</div>
		</div>
	</div>
</div><br>
For a moment, his mind is just a collection of elusive thoughts - memories, delusions, even squeaky whispers that sound like a kyot stuck between a gun safe and a wall. <i>Kal'Zeveros, as always on his right, but this time wounded, requesting help. A single glance tells him more than he needs, no medic will ever be able to help him. His armor already prepares for self-destruction, granting him the death worthy of his mighty deeds. Soon enough, the brave man will be engulfed by blazing flames, perhaps taking another foe with him. </i>Something cold underneath his back, hard like metal. Again the whispering, different this time, close to him if he's not mistaken. Instincts take over, his breath calms down, trying to show no sign of his alertness. <i>Kal'Lucadas, almost on top of the generator. Only a few more moments at most, holding position like a rock between the ladder and his prey. His pistol in hand, almost overheating, the angry glare in the closest creature's eyes that tells him that mercy would be ill-advised.</i><br>
Again the same sound, a bit further away - other noises as well, somewhere, likely close enough to strike as soon as he moves. His hand slowly moves towards his belt, right where his pistol would usually be - the well-known trigger seems to welcome his claw.<br>
<i>Nothing. Why nothing? What happened after that? Did we succeed, or did my body burn just like Kal'Lucadas in front of my eyes? Why do I not remember the outcome, even though I kept the Nameless at bay? Or didn't I? </i><br>
He blinks carefully, notices unusual lighting, as well as the unfamiliar smell. Not much heat, just brightness to be seen; multiple movements in the corner of his eye - warm, but colder than his kind. Slender, fragile, most likely no threat. All of them armored to different degrees, one on the floor, some of them standing, on two legs just like his kind. But they aren't like him, or like the Nameless. They are - different. Unknown. Why is he here, and not a seer, or a sage? What do they want from someone like him? One has something that looks like weaponry, but no mask is to be seen - an armed non-warrior; or even worse, a warrior without a mask.<br>
<i>Ash, fire, explosions, orders and screams - I heard them through the mask, just like during all those fights I remember... the mask...</i><br>
His hand reaches out for the valuable item, and feels the well-known contours. Assurance, wherever the war has brought him.<br>
<br>
Even if someone has noticed the careful blinking, he will likely not be prepared for the sudden movement of the alien body on the second bed. Covered by black scales, blue on the edges, that remind of natural plate armor if you so will, and wearing a futuristic combat suit on top of that, the creature by the name of Kal'Thocalas suddenly leaps up from the medical bed, landing right on his feet. Each movement seems to be instinctual, precise to a degree that suggests an inhuman familiarity with each single cell of his body. His right hand - more of a claw, honestly, that looks as if it could tear through clothes, skin and flesh with ease - has grabbed the pistol, and points it right at the one who might be the only threat in this place - Torrey. Meanwhile, the head performs sudden movements, mustering each sign of heat and movement that presents itself - most importantly, that includes the other living beings in this room. He ends up gazing at the armed man, and his left hand reaches out for a mask that seems to be chained to the rest of his suit, as if it'd be important. Slowly, almost as if he'd emphasize that this gesture has a universal meaning, he grabs the mask and puts it on, gradually hiding his face behind the item that reminds you of a mixture between bird and insect. Once he is done and his amber-colored, gazing eyes are hidden away, Torrey can likely still <i>feel </i>that Thoc musters him carefully, as if he'd await him to do <i>something. </i>You all can hear a very deep growling, very much like a distant avalanche if you ever heard one.</div>

<br>
Torrey whirled, sensing rather than seeing the movement of the big lizard-creature.  <i>Idiot, you </i>knew<i> it was armed!</i>  His hands dropped to the hilt of knife and sword on his belt, and one foot made just the slightest of movements as if to place himself between the armored black-and-blue-scaled opponent and the clearly non-combat-types elsewhere in the room.  Then he paused, staring into the other's eyes in that moment before it -- he? -- put the mask on.  Then his feet moved again, just slightly, this time to draw any potential fire <i>away</i> from everyone else, leaving himself the only living thing in Thoc's field of fire.  A different sort of mask settled over his own face: one of complete non-expression, the one he wore like a shield in combat.  With the same deliberation that Thoc had used to put on his mask, Torrey drew his hands away from his weapons and held them there, not in the "hands-up" pose of surrender but the open-handed gesture of peace.  In a quiet, neutral tone of voice, he said, "Don't hurt them.  We aren't your enemy."  <i>I hope</i>, he added mentally, wishing he could cross his fingers.  He'd seen intelligence in those amber eyes before the mask had covered them.  He hoped he hadn't missed unprovoked hostility.</div>

As the man moves, Thoc's head clearly follows each step, swiftly adjusting his own stand to be prepared for anything. Moreover it almost feels as if he'd study his current target, trying to estimate what exactly the unusual creature is capable of. Meanwhile, the growling continues, seemingly without much of a change in it - you might get the impression that it grows louder as Torrey steps away from the others, but that could just as well be a delusion. Finally, as Torrey actively avoids to draw his weapons, Thoc seems to pause for a moment in response - staring straight in the eye of the obvious threat in the room. Judging by his reaction, a warrior - a strange one, though, either very arrogant or naive. To show that he would not need a weapon, despite all the warnings he gave. <i>So be it. </i>As a response to the peaceful gesture, Thoc lowers his pistol, while simultaneously raising his left hand, spreading its four fingers as if to show off the sharpness of its claws. The resulting gesture is somehow similar to Torrey's, though certainly more threatening. <i>The eyes - they are not like the Nameless. He acts as if he knew parts of the law, and yet he did not bring a mask.<br>

			He swung his legs over the side of the bed and stood, testing his newly-woken strength, then cleared his throat to catch Doctor Chauncey's attention. "Hey," he said. "I'm Torrey. Where are we, and what the --" He glanced at the women present, despite one not being awake yet. "--ah, what's going on here?"

Chauncey found himself delighted.  Two have awoken and one is another believer in Our Good Lord and Savior!  "Torrey, is it?  Pleased to meet you, good sir!" <br>
<br>
Chauncey then waved gently to get the apparently-scientifically-oriented woman's attention.  "Good day, madam, or whatever time it is."  Confound it all!  Chauncey realized that despite his having a timepiece, there was no way to know what time it was <i>here</i>, wherever <i>and whenever here </i>was!  "Allow me to introduce myself.  I am Doctor Chauncey Roundbottom..." and here he took a leap of faith, <i>"...from the year 1917. </i> I am as new to all this as you are!  Pray tell, does anyone have the slightest notion of <i>what is going on?"<br>

			"Ahassunu," she said, pointing at herself, as she reached out to take the garment from him. She allowed herself a small smile at that..."<br>
<br>
"Thank you," she told him in Akkadian, and offered a smile that would probably do more to communicate her feelings than her words.

"Ahassunu..." Chauncey repeated softly.  What a <i>lovely</i> name!  He wondered what it meant and where it had come from and who had given it to her and...  well, there would be more time for that later.  She appeared to show him gratitude which just made his day...<br>
<br>
<b><i>Present Time.</i></b><br>
<br>
...but then the reptile experiment suddenly awoke.  And he was violent! <br>
<br>
If he was able, Chauncey immediately put himself between the ladies and the...  the poor befouled devil that was likely once a man!  Perhaps it was reverting to primordial instincts of a reptile and therefore could not discern human body language and the spoken word any more!  Whatever the case, the ladies <i>had</i> to be defended!  This Torrey fellow seemed to be a good chap, protective and bravely keeping the attention of the woebegone fly-eater.  Chauncey felt it was time for him to put that opportunity to use!<br>
<br>
Chauncey turned to the gadget.  He did not want to think of it as <i>his</i> gadget as so far it did not seem to belong to anyone.  But...  how to operate such a device?  He had, after all learned some fine things from everyone in his Gang, and had some practice with technology far beyond his time.  Perhaps he could turn the tiny little thing on and it might produce some kind of barrier to defend everyone here - at least until they were able to talk it all out.  Nothing like a good peaceful chat to make friends by!  Chauncey began his tweaking while keeping an eye on things.<br>

A distant blue light shimmered to life behind the bot's single, slightly offset-from-centre lens. Several focussing rings shifted back and forth as the stout, moustached face of Chauncey was brought into view. His meaty arms, elongated and warped slightly by the fishbowl effect of Sab’s lens, could be seen extending past the reaches of visual range.<br>

Small hatches on either side of Sab opened with a gentle click, and stick-thin arms of dull grey metal unfolded from where they had been stored. Another click, and the rods telescoped out to their full length, almost as long as the arms of the man who still carried him. They gently grasped his exploring fingers and pushed them back towards their owner, even as a quiet, rapid hum began to emit from Sab. The ‘bot floated away from the man serenely, turning this way and that to take in its surroundings and companions, ignoring - or perhaps unaware - of just how tense the situation was between the pair of warriors. Finally, Sab floated up to the same height as the curious, portly man’s head. The lens whirred and re-focussed slightly.<br>
“Have you seen him?” the 'bot asked.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><b>Ahassunu<br>
</b><br>
The creature's mind is as alien as its appearance, and Ahassunu lifts a hand to her head to steady herself after peering inside it, resulting in a minor wardrobe malfunction due to the improvised manner of her clothing. Paying little heed to her surroundings, she brings her mind close to Thoc's once more and tries to help Torrey convey the idea of an armistice. The alien being seems to understand war, but not peace, so that is what she shows it. Hostile armies fighting, with their richly-dressed commanders clashing against each other. Then the same commanders and their closest troops leaving behind their weapons to confer between the armies. The idea is as alien to this creature as it is to her, but despite it all she attempts to make it see that putting aside your weapon can be a sign of humility and a wish to speak, rather than an act of arrogance or showmanship.<br>
<br>
OOC: Using Telepathy now. The mental images can be resisted with an Ingenuity + Resolve roll, but it does not need to be.<br>
<br>
Roll: (5) dice + (3) Ingenuity + 6 (Resolve) = 14</div>

<br>
Torrey lets out a soft sigh of relief, hardly more than a long exhale, when the other lowers his pistol.  Whatever this thing was, at least they'd gotten past immediate threats.  That was good.  On the other hand, Thoc's raising of his clawed hand somehow didn't seem quite in line with a proper ceasefire.  That was bad.  But not as bad as the lack-of-shots-fired was good.  On the whole, Torrey figured they'd made some progress.  He just wished he knew what to do next.  He was pretty short on experience with this sort of thing, not having to deal with communication issues when encountering the occasional mutated animal back home.  None of those had any intelligence to speak of, and it was pretty much "kill it before it kills you."  Ergo, this wasn't one of them.  Which left the question of just what it <i>was</i>.  Torrey hadn't been paying much attention to the conversation between the noncombatants, but he had caught Doctor Chauncey's introduction, which for some reason included the year he was from.  Food for thought, when one had time to think about it.<br>
<br>
Which Torrey didn't, just now.<br>
<br>
He hadn't moved while Thoc lowered his pistol and raised that clawed hand, but now he allowed a small smile to appear.  He was careful not to let his teeth show, however.  Some animals saw that as a threat, and he wasn't sure whether this animal-looking person would do so as well.  He kept his hands where they were and his eyes on Thoc, but tried to let his body relax a bit.  Subconscious cues might work better than obvious ones, just now.  He felt almost like he did the time he'd run into an aggressive dog: he didn't really <i>want</i> to fight this guy, whoever he was, and had to come up with ways of conveying that without words.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><b>Kal'Thocalas</b><br>
<br>
Behind the mask, two wary eyes carefully follow the little movements of the fighter in front of him. It's hard to know what to expect, given his reaction: If he is impressed by Thoc's mighty claws in comparison to his little paws, that does not show too much. In fact, his lips seem to twitch instead as if he'd consider to call him out even though he wears his mask - luckily, he does know better than to declare war on the Zil'Thanei for now. He almost seems to relax after that, perhaps it was meant as a warning - showing what he'd be willing to do in all of his arrogancy. Or he tries to provoke a reaction, as foolish as that'd be - after all, no warrior can declare a war, that's what the masks are there for. But as he does not seem to respect the masks, perhaps he expects the same from others? It'd be fitting for an undisguised warrior, at least if the tales are true. <br>
<br>
He lowers his clawed hand, just in case the man decides to do something stupid - only a fool awaits an attack with open arms. But before he can do anything in addition, perhaps challenge the creature to either strike or back up, there is a sudden feeling - similar to what you might feel if you dare to get too close to a seer. The feeling as if cold eyes would watch you, no matter where you try to hide. Only that this time, there is more than that - a wave of emotions and other thoughts that don't belong where they are. Other beings that he hasn't seen; questions that he can't understand. But also insecurity that he would not have expected; after all, he's the one out of place here - right? The masked head suddenly turns around, trying to find the one who sees through thoughts - standing next to one of the metally things, surrounded by the others. Of course, it can only be her - just like at home, the seer wears less armor than all others. And given the design of hers, she truly must be well-guarded. That bears the question why all the others are allowed to stand that close to her - the closest one of the bunch is, given his current activity, clearly a technician - why else would he take care of the floating thing that hovers next to him? And the other one who got touched by him - he'd be dead if she was a seer! Just to be safe, Thoc makes two steps backwards - staying on guard as best as he can while returning the seer's gaze. Then, another wave of thoughts hits him - different this time, more on point. As if she'd try to speak to him, more in pictures than in words.<br>
<br>
Two groups of beings that look similar to those assembled in this room (apart from a floating robot and him, that is), seemingly attempting to fight each other in a rather primitive manner on a weird, fawn ground. Perhaps, she wants him to help with them, teach them how to win a fight - but that'd be a commander's task, not his, and a seer should certainly know that. The happenings change - as both sides realize that neither of them knows how to fight a war, they meet each other peacefully. Foolishly laying down their arms, trusting that they're better at hiding their second weapon than the others. That's it, apparently. Does she want to make peace, perhaps, and is in need of assistance? Warriors make war, not peace - she's a seer, it's her task to make peace, isn't it? Hard to say what she wants, exactly - and that's what Thoc says. Another growl, though quieter this time. He crosses his arms for just a split-second in case that she understands, stowing away his pistol for just this moment. Then, he warily musters the others - why are they here, accompanying a seer? And why, exactly, is he in the same room, far away from those who'd guide him?</div>

<i>It understands! </i>Is the first thought in her mind as she sees the creature's reaction to her attempts at communication. <i>It understands something at least, </i>she quickly amends her thought. Its verbal response sounds more like a growl than actual words, or even the blather of these foreigners. She reaches out in its direction with an open hand, and speaks softly, not because she thinks it will understand, but because that is how you treat skittish beasts. "Do you understand me?" She attempts in Sumerian, "do you understand me?" she repeats, this time in Akkadian. Her tone is calm and calming, but truly she does not even trust that to give sure guidance, instead she turns once more to the gifts Ishtar has bestowed upon her and reaches out with her mind to discover how her attempt was truly perceived.<br>

	</div></div></div></div><div style="display: block; margin-bottom: 5px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 10px;">In the background, the room hums with an unfamiliar, mechanical sound.  A distant susurration from the ventilation systems must sound foreign, if unremarkable, to those who've never encountered such a thing before.  The thrum of electrical power through the walls, powering the lights and computers, likewise is like nothing many of the people here have experienced.  <br>
<br>
<div style="display: block; margin-bottom: 5px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 10px;">The air is clean, sharp with antiseptic, an even more unfamiliar scent to those from time periods that lacked the concept, if not the means.  And the temperature is...well, about 17 °C, a touch cool for humans.  And there's no sign of other activity anywhere.  Despite the glass paneling of the walls and the doors, there's no sign of anyone here.  <br>
<br>
<div style="display: block; margin-bottom: 5px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 10px;">From the far end of the room comes a strange sound.  A screen on the back wall panel lights up, flickering through a thousand symbols a second, all of them unfamiliar.  Then a whirring, mechanical sound as a computer interface below lifts up and out.<br>
<br>
<div style="border-left: solid 5px rgba(66, 61, 36, 0.75); display: inline-block; margin: 10px; vertical-align: top; width: 400px"><span data-s9e-mediaembed="soundcloud" style="height:166px;width:900px" data-s9e-mediaembed-iframe="[&quot;data-s9e-mediaembed&quot;,&quot;soundcloud&quot;,&quot;allowfullscreen&quot;,&quot;&quot;,&quot;scrolling&quot;,&quot;no&quot;,&quot;src&quot;,&quot;https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/navia-iselsi\/language-assimilated&quot;,&quot;style&quot;,&quot;height:166px;width:900px&quot;]"></span></div><br>
<br>
<div style="display: block; margin-bottom: 5px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 10px;">That was English.  For those of you who speak English.<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Chauncey's spectacled eyes were wide - there certainly was a lot going on at once here, inside and out!  <br>
<br>
When the tension broke out between the woebegone fly-eater and this heroic Torrey figure, Chauncey found himself jumping between the tension and the two ladies.  They could not come to harm!  But then the tension seemed to die down and he was able to return his attentions to the little mechanical device.  <br>
<br>
The mechanical device became alive in his hands!  And then it grew hands of its own all the while floating in the air all by itself!  Without realizing it, Chauncey took a step back to respectfully give the little machine space, for that is what it seemed to need.  <br>
<br>

</blockquote><br>
And then it spoke!  In proper English, no less!  <br>
<br>
The young doctor found himself so very fascinated and flabbergasted that he was struck at a loss for words even if the rest of the restless lives inside of him were expressing the opposite.  In moments like these, there was but only really one option before him.<br>

"Beat Box (Diversion One)" by the Art of Noise.  This is a band with a sound like no other and they make a perfect auditory introduction into Chauncey's Gang.  Plus, I just can't get enough of the beat and that piano at the end.  So grand and smooth!  =)<br>

<br>
Music and pleasant noise, loud and crystal clear, resonated all throughout Chauncey's mind like one great concert.  It was constant with sound and feeling.  There was always something playing from some time.  He didn't understand most of the music, but he was long, long past worrying about it for it had been this way all of his waking life - <i>this one</i>, that is...  <br>
<br>
All of Chauncey's lives heard it too for they were contributing to it.  From Doctor Vamu in the 10th century, wildly and happily banging on his drums of animal hides, to Kix cheering high in the sky while jamming on his favorite transatmospheric guitar in the 54th century, <i>it was always like this</i> in Chauncey's mind<i>.</i>  Something was always playing, there was always energy and strange inspirations.  Non-stop.  That is, unless Chauncey requested peace by pushing all this to the edges of his consciousness.<br>
<br>
Ultimately, he was in control.  All of his lives respected that.  After all - were they not the same soul, the very same being?  <br>
<br>
So...  inside Chauncey's mind, it was one performance after another, each song expressing something in his own personal never-ending jam session.  So too were his lives very aware of what was going on outside.  Like an ever-present gathering of movie-goers in a non-stop IMAX theater, Chauncey's Gang were the peanut gallery in his life.  Being a peanut gallery, someone in his mind always had something to say.  <br>
<br>
Lily, the beautiful blonde-haired flower child of the 1960s and 1970s, shouted sweetly to Chauncey.  "Oh, far out, man!  It's a <i>robot</i>, Chauncey!  Y'know, in like those silly comic books?"<br>
<br>
Habib, handsome and stylish but not tall, the 21st century lover from the Middle East and France, looked at Lily.  He was smiling and pleased.  He pointed.  "Even better!  This is... like a mini-R2D2 from the ancient movie, Star Wars!"  <br>
<br>
DJ Heavenly, the African-American breakdancer and music maker from the 1980s and 1990s, sounded indignant.  Her black curls shook as she whirled fiercely to Habib.  <i>"Ancient?</i>  You betta <i>step off</i>, shorty!"  She crossed her arms and faced Chauncey's memories with pride.  "R2D2's <i>my boooooy!</i>  You mess with Artoo an' you get <i>wrecked!"</i><br>
<br>
Chauncey stepped in.  He waved his hands frantically.  "A moment!  Just...  just a moment, all of you!  Will <i>one</i> of you <i>please</i> teach me what a <i>robot</i> is?"<br>
<br>
Chauncey's Gang looked at each other.  Some shrugged, others moved to speak.  John, the 22nd century American engineer and astronaut, gained the floor.  The caucasian military gentleman was direct.  "Chauncey, recall the Tank Golems we helped dispel?"<br>
<br>
"Oh <i>heavens,</i> John!  <i>Must</i> you bring them up?"<br>
<br>
John leaned forward.  "I'm afraid so, sir.  Now listen close.  The Tank Golems, I believe, were an advanced form of artificial intelligence.  Machines with <i>self-awareness.  </i>This robot you have before you is similar in that it seems to be an artificially-intelligent mechanical construct likely made to perform specific functions.  By its question, it may be looking for the one it was created to serve."<br>
<br>
Chauncey wrung his hands.  "Oh, I <i>pray </i>I have not offended it by trying to activate it!"<br>
<br>
"I doubt you have, sir."<br>
<br>
"Oh, all right.  So what do I <i>do</i> with it, John?"<br>
<br>
"For now, just treat it like a lost animal.  Just remember any 'feelings' it might display are <i>also </i>artificial.  Programmed.  Otherwise, it's just a mechanical animal.  You want to help it get to its master, don't you, doctor?"<br>
<br>
Chauncey shrugged and waved.  "Oh, you all know me better than that!  <i>Of course I do!</i>  Thank you all!"  <br>
<br>
And with that, Chauncey returned to the present scene, the sounds of encouragement and applause from "his" gang roaring in his mind.</div>
		</div>
	</div>
</div>  <br>
<br>
Outside of himself, Chauncey seemed to mutter and murmur <i>to nobody </i>in an eccentric fashion<i>.  </i>He wrung his hands, shrugged, and waved shortly, but not to the S.A.B..  Not to anyone the others could see.  This behavior lasted but for a few moments, but when he was done, he seemed refreshed.  Enlightened.  He addressed the...   what did they call it again?  Ah, yes!  A <i>robot!</i><br>
<br>
"'Him?'"  He asked the diminutive droid.  "Pray tell, who is 'him'?  I would most certainly like to be of assistance, but the only 'hims' I have seen are those present.  Do have a peek?"  He indicated good Torrey and the scaly, misshapen horror.<br>
<br>
Then something seemed to happen inside the room itself!  The room became alive and it <i>spoke?</i>  <br>
<br>
Chauncey faced the far end of the room, saw the monitor, then turned to the whole group.  "Did anyone else hear that?  'Language assimilated'?"  Then he spied the interface and gasped.  What could <i>this</i> be?  Almost like a man in a trance, Chauncey was drawn to the interface by the magnetic and all-inspiring power of simple human curiosity.  <br>
<br>
"Ah, hello?"  Full of wonder, Chauncey smiled like a little boy.  He spoke gently into the interface.  "I am Doctor Chauncey Roundbottom of the British Expeditionary Force.  May I be of assistance?"</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">“Pray tell, who is ‘him’? I would most certainly like to be of assistance, but the only 'hims' I have seen are those present,” the human responded. A wave of emotion swept through Sab’s circuitry; an unexpected, yet strangely familiar awareness that he was...tired. Or rather, that he had been once more disappointed. He didn’t have time for considering why or how, though. More urgent matters demanded his attention.<br>
<br>
“...Do have a peek?" he heard the human finish. Curious, Sab floated up and slightly to the left, so as to peek over his shoulder at the reptile and the second human squaring off for a fight - or perhaps to make peace.<br>
<br>
&gt;&gt;WARNING<br>
&gt;&gt;SubDir_1D=0<br>
&gt;&gt;Expand: Sub-directive 1D=Manners are important.<br>
<br>
Sab floated back to his previous position in front of Chauncey’s face. “Thank you,” it said abruptly. Manners; they were indeed important. Chauncey, however, wandered off as if spellbound by the local translation machinery. Sab's lower processed had automatically logged on to the device once it had activated, a matter that seemed of little consequence to him but apparently full of startling revelation for the human. Sab logged a reminder to scan the human later. The human likely would not wish to be interrupted.<br>
<br>
&gt;&gt;Obj1=0<br>
<br>
Sab nodded to himself - an impressive feat considering he didn’t have a neck. As yet, his primary objective remained unfulfilled; and for the little grey-and-blue ‘bot, fulfilling it was the very reason for his entire existence. Sab methodically selected his next target, floating gently over to the man who was facing off against the lizard. His repulsors hummed as he moved as close as he could into Torrey’s line of sight without completely cutting off his view of the Zil’Thanei.<br>
<br>
A beam of cyan light shot from what looked to be a small radar dish on the robot’s front and landed on the the chest of Torrey. It paused for a second before splitting into two, with a fainter shade of blue present between the two beams. It waved up and down,scanning the pirate all the way from his head down to his leather boots, before returning to the point where it had began. The two beams united briefly in the centre of Torrey’s chest once more before retreating back to the ‘bot. The whole scan took perhaps a second, certainly not any longer.<br>
“Greetings,” said Sab in a polite voice. “Have you seen him?”</div>

<br>
Torrey tenses once more when the creature before him turns its head to face the most vulnerable of the group -- the girl wearing only the coat loaned to her by Doctor Chauncey.  But the creature doesn't seem to have any hostile intent towards her, for it not only stepped backwards but put its pistol away and crossed its arms briefly.  Torrey let out a long breath of relief and stood back himself, though he kept a wary eye on the other armed being.<br>
<br>
A movement at the edge of his field of view caught his attention, and he started to turn towards the strange panel and the stranger voice that had come from it, but stopped when a tiny floating... thingy approached and cast beams of light over him.  Torrey instinctively flinched and tossed up an arm to cover his eyes, but the light seemed to do no harm.  He glanced down at his chest, where the beams had merged and vanished, just to be sure, but apparently the light was just a light.  Maybe the thingy couldn't see well in here?  It seemed to be a device of some sort, but nothing he could recall seeing before.  Possibly it was connected to the panel and voice at the far end of the room, where Doctor Chauncey had drifted and was now talking back.<br>
<br>
Torrey shifted position so that he could see both the floating device and the strange armed person, and as many of the others as their relative positions would allow, and answered the former.  "I see at least three 'hims,' counting myself.  Which one did you mean?"</div>

Much like the rest of this place, it appears to be fashioned out of highly machined metal and amazingly well molded plastic.  Some kind of glass covers the interface panel and lights illuminate various sigils and icons underneath.  The writing looks spooky, for it floats within the glass, the edges of each character flickering between a hard edge and indistinction.  It's also like nothing Chauncey has ever seen before. <br>
<br>
<div style="display: block; margin-bottom: 5px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 10px;">The movement the panels made happened when everyone was across the room so it's a little hard to say exactly what changed.  But below the main glass panel with its spooky writing is a tray.  That tray seems filled with small...coins?  Almost like coin currency, except instead of an embossing of nation or figure or date, there's a spiderwork of tiny metal filaments webbed across the transparent surface. <br>
<br>
<div style="display: block; margin-bottom: 5px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 10px;">Just above the tray, a string of eldritch writing flickers on and off, a steady pulsing as if the computer had a pulse.  While the technology is radically outside of Chauncey's context, it looks like it may be waiting for something. <br>
<br>
<div style="display: block; margin-bottom: 5px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 10px;">Meanwhile, the room inexplicably brightens by a few lux.  The almost unnoticeable hum of the ventilation system pitches up a degree.  It may be growing ever so slightly warmer in here. <div style="clear: both;"><div style="display: none;">.</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>

Sensing it more than see it, Ahassunu notices that the other woman in the room, strangely dressed and blathering though she is, is talking to her. She spares a quick glance at the other's expression and needs no more than her own skill at reading faces to understand that she is less than happy with her. "I'm sorry, I do not understand," she offers in Akkadian along with an apologetic smile before turning her attention back to the strange and warlike creature before her.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Ivy blinked.<br>
<br>
Then she blinked again. The nagging sense of familiarity was back...<br>
<br>
...and it suddenly exploded from a tickle to raw and blinding recognition. And with it a horrible realization.<br>
<br>
No living person in her time had any notion of what spoken Akkadian sounded like, even those few -- like her -- who could read it. Unlike classical Greek or imperial Latin, the languages of ancient Mesopotamia had no direct living descendants. Unlike ancient Egyptian, they were no longer used in liturgy. So she hadn't recognized the tongue when she heard it spoken. But these very simple, basic words -- <i>I'm sorry, I don't understand</i> -- were just comprehensible.<br>
<br>
Only a scant handful of people were well-read enough in Akkadian to construct sentences in it, and Ivy knew all of them -- by reputation, if not in person. None of them were the young woman standing before her, wearing authentic Babylonian-period jewelry. Something like this could not be faked, and certainly not by drunk college students There was only one inescapable conclusion: this was all real. She had actually been abducted and was on a spaceship with an alien and a robot and a time-displaced Babylonian--<br>
<br>
Her thoughts skittered to a stop. She sat without moving or breathing for five seconds. Then a huge smile, which might read as "adorable" or "terrifying" went 'round and 'round her face in frivolous loops. <br>
<br>
In her very best (i.e. horribly accented) Akkadian, she said, "<i>I </i>am sorry. Can you understand me if I speak this?"</div>

The difference between the blather of the foreigners and the words of her own people, garbled though it is, is like the difference between water and brine, between bread and sand, between life and death. The for-now-peaceful monster forgotten, Ahassunu turns to the formerly blathering woman with light shining in her eyes and a smile on her face beyond those she has previously offered her companions. "Ishtar be praised, yes!" She responds. "I recognize neither your dialect or your mother tongue, where are you from, and do you know what this place is?"</div>

Ivy's mind spun about in circles for a brief moment trying to think how she could possibly explain something she didn't even have vocabulary for. All she could do was keep it simple -- not that trying to communicate in a language that had just as many variations as English, with a person whose exact place in time was still unknown, allowed for anything else...<br>
<br>
"I come from a country far to the west, on the other side of the sea." <i>I hope</i> ayabbitu <i>is a noun by her stage of the language, and not an adjective!</i> "I do not know where we are, or what our captors want, but I think we have <i>all</i> been taken from different places."<br>
<br>
<i>And different time periods, I bet. Which means the lizard man could even be human, not alien!</i></div>

She had expected no more, but some of the joy Ahassunu had found at one of the others speaking a proper language has left her and she lets out a breath she hadn't realized she was holding. She throws a glance at the still unmoving possibly-demon before returning her attention to something the other woman had said. "To the west across the sea?" She asks sounding exceedingly puzzled, "but the sea is to the south-east!" She pauses, "or it was... before I was taken here." She frowns again, "unless, are you speaking of the Egyptian sea, but I have never heard of countries so far away. Only barbarians are said to live there. How did you learn our language if we have never heard of your lands?"</div>

<i>She probably doesn't even know the Atlantic or the Pacific exists. What must it have been like, to live when the rest of the world was unexplored territory, like outer space?</i> A thought briefly, flashed through Ivy's head -- that if any of the other people here are from the far future, they would have similar attitudes towards <i>her</i> -- but it was too much for her to wrap her mind around just then.<br>
<br>
"Not the Lower Sea, where Sargon washed his weapons. The Great Sea of the West, <i>tāmtu rabītu</i>. I serve in a House of Tablets," she tried to explain, while knowing with some frustration that <i>bēt ṭuppi</i> did not exactly mean a school as modern people understood it, but a temple -- or section within a very large temple -- where important records were preserved, "and I learned many languages in order to understand them. Including some that have not been spoken among us in a long time."<br>
<br>
Inside, Ivy was feeling slightly dizzy. She had always been proud of her ability to "know" the people of an ancient society vividly from the trinkets and trash they left behind -- not to mention the songs and epics and the proud boasts of kings.

"Oh, you too serve the gods!" Ahassunu says happily, "that is good to know. In a place such as this, we need them more than ever. This seems to go even beyond Ishtar's journey into the Underwold!" After a moment, she realizes her previous rudeness and hastens to add, "I forget myself, I have not introduced myself. I am Ahassunu, a priestess of Ishtar in the great temple in Babylon. I have heard rumours from traders about rumours from sailors about a great sea beyond even Egypt, but I do not think even they imagined a country on the other side, much less one where our language and the lore of our gods is taught!

<div style="display: block; margin-bottom: 5px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 10px;">By Chauncey, the eldritch-lit glass suddenly flashes through another thousand or so symbols and images, far faster than the human eye can possibly follow.  Brief impressions are left behind, however; strange characters in that spectacularly strange writing as well as sketches of things, places and animals perhaps but drawn in a uniformly curious way.  If only they didn't fly by so fast.  <br>
<br>
<div style="display: block; margin-bottom: 5px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 10px;">Suddenly the tray hums.  Each of the coins shimmers briefly with a yellowish light.  Upon careful inspection, it looks as if those thousands of images and impossible writing are flickering across the tiny transparent metal-webbed surfaces, just as they did across the glass panels above.  Abruptly, the images cease and the coins shimmer yellow once more.  <br>

<div style="display: block; margin-bottom: 5px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 10px;">That was Akkadian.  While to everyone else in the room, the words were gibberish, to both women conversing the words sounded clearly through the room.  It wasn't an exact translation, of course.  Perhaps the most literal meaning might be 'This tongue is revealed', though Lily is well aware that the connotation of the tongue's revelation being divine in origin is impossible to separate.  To a priestess, no other explanation is afforded to such a world view.  To a scholar, however, there's an unmistakable mechanical tone to the speech even to the ear of someone from the 1970s.  <br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">It was all so beyond belief!  A...  <i>computer...</i> seemed to be listening to them all and while doing so learning the very languages they were communicating with.  "Language <i>assimilated..."</i> it had said.  To assimilate was to take in something new.  The computer did not know the Queen's English nor the American scientist's for that matter nor apparently any other form like what Torrey and the little machine spoke.  And yet, all of those rapid images, it had information <i>somewhere</i> to call upon to assist it!<br>
<br>
And now!  What was this?  It spoke again some strange brief phrase that sounded...  somewhat similar to what the unclothed woman and the American scientist seemed to be conversing in.  What was next?  The language of the reptile...  thing?  The more Chauncey examined it, the less and less human it seemed.  Now that it was up and interacting, Chauncey doubted it was ever human at all.  But then what was it?  Another form of life?  From where?  And what purpose?<br>
<br>
And what were they all doing here?  Where were they?  Were they prisoners?  Why the long sleep?  What was going on?  What did it mean that everything here was made of the finest metals, the smoothest glass, and the...  most-plasticky <i>plastic?  </i>If that indeed what it was.  It could have been some kind of resin.  And the coins!  What did they mean?  And why was it getting warm in here?  What did the computer want?  And if it got it, what would it do?<br>
<br>
"Good heavens, all this is beyond belief!"  Chauncey placed his cane under his arm and reached up, clutching his temples with his fingers.  There was simply so much happening at once, so many new mysteries and oddities that it shook him to his core.<br>
<br>
He needed help.  <i>Inside </i>help...<br>

<br>
The voice of a woman with a French accent rang in his ears.  Chauncey turned.  There before him stood a mature woman of terrific grace and dignity.  <i>"Sacre bleu,</i> Chauncey!  You must <i>keep </i>your head together or you <i>weel </i>lose it."<br>
<br>
He argued.  "Marie, that is <i>precisely</i> what I am attempting!"<br>
<br>
Then little Nina appeared, skin browned by the sun, clothed in only an animal hide, face paint, and a big, big smile.  "You are having an <i>adventure, Chauncey!  </i>You should ride with it like the wind through the flowers!<i>"<br>
</i><br>
"But <i>how?  </i>I cannot make sense of any of this!  Robots, lizard-men, even the air is too clean.  It is all too... <i>much!"<br>
</i><br>
An old thin man with a simple brown robe and a bowl quietly came forward.  He was black and silver-haired with calm eyes filled with kindness.  "Chauncey-san," he whispered.<br>
<br>
<i>Just</i> who he needed!  "Tokurai-sama!"<br>
<br>
"Chauncey-san, when you wish to see, see right at once.  When you begin to think, you miss the point."<br>
<br>
Chauncey gasped and took a deep breath.  Then another.  <i>Think, old boy,</i> he told himself.  <i>What does he mean, 'see right at once'?  <br>
</i><br>
Tokurai continued.  "You are like a frantic painter with a single blank scroll and brush.  Wishing to see the entire finished picture, you try to paint using many hands, but...  you possess only <i>one </i>mind.  <i>One </i>brush."<br>
<br>
<i>I must be...  be overthinking all of this.  Trying to do too much at once.  One brush at time.  One stroke at a time.  One </i>problem<i> at a time...  </i><br>
<br>
"Oh, bless you, old fellow!"<br>
<br>
But Tokurai just slowly bowed and walked back to whence he came saying only, "My blessings have been many.  It is good to share them with you, Chauncey-san."<br>
<br>
Chauncey held his hat over his chest as he watched his past life walk away.</div>
		</div>
	</div>
</div><br>
<br>
When Chauncey saw the room and its occupants again, he wore a soft smile on his face, for the old master's words had warmed his very heart.  "See right at once," he repeated.  Chauncey looked to the coins and counted them.  He looked at the rest of the interface.  Were there places for said coins?  Did the coins seem different from one another?  Adjusting his spectacles, he neared them and examined them closely.  Then he looked for ways out of the room.  For it was one thing for mysteries to rise, but if the temperature did the same for too much longer, it was going to get very uncomfortable indeed.  For everyone.  Of course!<br>
<br>
That was it!  It was time to involve...  <i>everyone!</i><br>
<br>
Chauncey stood and addressed the others. "All right!  Here we are, stuck together in God-knows-where for God-knows what.  <i>It is time we band together for everyone's sake!</i>  I will begin by reintroducing myself.  I am Doctor Chauncey Roundbottom."  He pointed his cane at the woman who wore his coat.  "She has told me her name - <i>Ahassunu</i>."  Then he indicated the bold human armed with pistols and the pirate sword.  "And you, by your word, are <i>Torrey."</i><br>
<br>
His cane indicated the flying robot, the American scientist, and the reptile-person.  "Do identify yourselves.  Please."  He added the last.  For no matter who you were or when or where you came from, you should <i>always</i> attempt civility.  It was only proper!<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Sab followed the pirate as he moved, maintaining what his data indicated was a polite distance but what a human would likely feel as encroaching into their personal space. The robot idly processed through the information Torrey’s scan had provided as he floated along: a human, with high adrenaline and a few lead deposits throughout his body. His Objective remained unfilled, and Sab felt that familiar pang of disappointment. The scan was inconsequential, filed into free memory a split-second later.<br>
"I see at least three 'hims,' counting myself. Which one did you mean?" Torrey replied. The little blue light hidden behind the glass of Sab’s ‘eye’ dimmed and flickered a little as he searched his core.<br>
<br>
&gt;&gt;query: Obj1<br>
&gt;&gt;Searching...searching...<br>
&gt;&gt;!ERROR!<br>
&gt;&gt;Expand: ERROR=file.corrupted, access.path=0<br>
&gt;&gt;Expand: Obj1=Find ### ######<br>
<br>
The blue light steadied and grew back to it’s normal brightness.<br>
“An odd dilemma. I...I’m not quite sure”. An important issue, surely. But protocol dictated that the primary objective came first - always came first. It was filed as a sub-objective - curiously enough the second of which. More questions as to what the first sub-objective could be were met with more errors, and Sab was equally puzzled with this new revelation.<br>
“Thank you, I suppose. You’ve been enlightening.” Sab looked over at the two women, talking in something that was instantly labeled as ‘not-English’ and was about to float over when the man who had been about to tamper with him - Chauncey - suddenly spoke up, imploring those around him to unite. Was this a dangerous area, Sab wondered? He would never complete his Objective if he was dismantled.<br>
Chauncey prodded his cane at the others, and Sab quickly noted down the names mentioned. As for his own name though...he was once again at a loss. A quick memory search provided nothing, and in desperation Sab began a visual inspection of his hands and arms, passing them methodically in front of him and desperate for some sense of ident-- there! In the reflection of a gleaming metal bed, a faded and scratched serial number just under his front panel caught his attention. Sab floated closer for a better look.<br>
“Specimen...Acqui...sition…” a few letters were missing here, faded by time. “...bot. Serial number two-five-seven-five-nine” he finished proudly. Some sense - not an objective nor directive, but a ‘feeling’ similar to the exhaustion he had felt before filled him.<br>
“I am Specimen Acquisition bot  number 2-5-7-5-9” he announced proudly, and although he may not know his mission at he felt that this was a step closer towards completing it.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Kal'Thocalas<br>
<br>
Once more, the seer seems to open her mind, trying to reach out for Thoc's own thoughts - or maybe not, it is hard to tell. He certainly feels the same look like at first, before she sent him the different pictures that raised more questions than anything else; compared to his prior state, there is more confusion, particularly about the others. But seemingly, she is fine with that - at least, she turns towards one of those accompanying her, exchanging a few more of the squeaky sounds that apparently form their language. So different, so weak, but almost melodic, a flow of noises as the seer speaks.<br>
<br>
She is not the only one who reacts to both his gestures and response - the one without a mask, while not unmindful, turns towards the curious, floating machine; it seems as if the device would scan him, just like the medical scanners at home - perhaps, it is a medical probe, supposed to take care of those assembled? But then again, the technician woke it up from its mechanical dreams, which implies some familiarity as well; and given the mental glimpse he received, the seer herself is not too comfortable, either.<br>
<br>
Maybe only the technician is from here? After all, he is the one to act as the room itself seemed to slowly wake up - perhaps, he is the pilot of whatever kind of thing this is? Unlikely, given the way his head turns around to examine every little detail. Either way, the man seems to get some kind of response - which doesn't stop him from examining further, even as other noises appear. A change in the air, the transparent color turns slightly towards a warmer tone - perhaps due to his efforts, or despite them, or due to a protocol. At home, that means that there are only moments before the transport arrives at home; acclimating to the hangar's temperature where food and mates await. Does that mean that they are about to land, in some distant place that apparently is the home of noone aboard of this ship? Or is there more than one chamber, perhaps, like in the old crafts, scrapped by now? He'll surely find out, one way or another...<br>
<br>
His thoughts get interrupted by sudden activity of the technician: pointing his peculiar, organic device at those in the room while making short, fluid noises - apparently, of some kind of importance, as those pointed at show some reaction. Where he does not make the sounds himself, the others help him out, as it seems, even the robot releases a number of words that seem to imitate their language. And then, the man points at him.<br>
<br>
A short pause, a moment of hesitation - then, Thoc slowly stands up once more, crossing his arms as a greeting - just like demanded by the protocols, if this man happens to know those by chance. And then, he responds to the one question that a technician would ever ask when facing a masked warrior - speaking as slowly as he can, even trying to not let the different syllables mingle within his jaws. "It might not be safe. The mask is intact. So is the equipment." And then, the personal information, just so they knew who was behind the mask. "Zil'Thanei." The name of his people - for the first time, it seems to be more than an empty phrase, reminding them that all castes served a common goal. "Kalei." His caste - though rather obvious. A number of different, but quite similar words - the names of the cycles he has fought in. "Kal." The title. "Kal'Thocalas." The name. "Thoc." The short name. "Zil'Thanei." You never ended by mentioning your own name. And, in contrast to every other situation, the name of his people seems to be the first difference between him and those around him.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Once more, Ahassunu's gaze is drawn to the strange creature. For a moment, she was almost getting used to the strange situation from speaking in her own tongue with... <i>Aivee?</i> 'Tillitu' seemed safer, at least in her own mind. It appears that the creature has understood at least some of the call for introductions, but its answer is too long to be just its name. Calling upon the gifts of Ishtar, she sends out her mind to its, trying to figure out just what its words meant, and what they were meant to answer.<br>

<article class="message-body js-selectToQuote">
			
				
			

			<div itemprop="text">
				
					<div class="bbWrapper">Kal'Thocalas<br>
<br>
Once more, he can feel the seer's gaze - trying to find answers for all those questions that might be in her mind right now. Did he answer incorrectly? There are no abnormal pictures this time, she does not try to tell him something - does that mean that she asks what he just told? A seer should know, but maybe not - she is no seer of the Zil'thanei. Just for the sake of clarification, he repeats the very same words once more; even slower this time, as if he'd talk to the dumbest child that ever saw the light.<br>
<br>
"Not safe." A hangar, with multiple metallic vehicles in there - then, an explosion appears from somewhere in the middle, and a wall of fire seems to swallow dozens of workers that are nearby. One thing that you notice is that there are no colors anywhere to be seen; only grey shades, though several surfaces seem to quickly pulsate somehow, and you instinctively <i>know </i>that those things are warmer than the other regions. For example, the flames will be seen in pure white, quickly pulsating as they wash over the surrounding. The focus in these pictures is on the workers who burn to ash. There is no sadness, just recognition. The view is also a bit restricted, as if you'd look through the eye-slits of a helmet or a mask.<br>
<br>
"The mask is intact." You have an unrestricted view at the very same mask he's wearing right now, carfully turning it in all directions as if checking that everything is ok. You can then see how he puts the mask back on, and turns towards blazing flames somewhere in a small corridor. A similar fighter stands nearby, a warm fluid runs down his armor. He grabs his mask, and is suddenly engulfed in flames.<br>
<br>
"So is the equipment." You see exactly the same room we're in right now - you can see how his eyes carefully muster each part of his equipment, even before Thoc stands up from his bed.<br>
<br>
"Zil'Thanei." A starship that quickly moves through the sky - for you, probably just a very fast moving star. A group of unmasked, reptilian creatures, mustering the occurence. They wear light armor, and no weaponry. A technician, trying to fix one of the shuttles - hard to describe, so it might not make too much sense for you personally. In all those cases, you can feel a very deep respect for all those people shown, and certainly more than that in case of the starship - you have the feeling that he'd easily die for everyone shown here. Multiple warriors, wearing identical masks. A flying vehicle, one reptilian creature piloting it masterfully. A youngling, crawling on the floor. A warrior, behind his mask. The same, wounded warrior as before, engulfed in flames. Again the starship.<br>
<br>
"Kalei." Dozens of warriors, all clothed exactly like Thoc, running over a cold, desert-like area - they're in rather loose formation, and seem to head towards multiple trenches in the distance. Explosions are all over the place, but none of them turns around, or stops.<br>
<br>
The names of the cycles: You will likely see the most iconic targets during several war episodes. That includes multiple futuristic factories, a giant tower, a power generator and various other objects - given your background, you'll probably not be able to recognize any of them, but they all show immense signs of heat. Two visions stand out in particular - they show narrow corridors in underground buildings and bunkers, and every moment is filled with a certain desperation and anger that seems to be missing in all other moments. Whatever this place is, it's very important to him, and Thoc seems to know every little detail in there. All images here are seen through the mask's eyes.<br>
<br>
"Kal'Thocalas. Thoc." Again, you see the mask - however, the focus is not on the surrounding, which is hidden in darkness, but instead the smells. You recognize a certain, special scent - neither unpleasent or pleasent, rather neutral - but now that you focus on it, you recognize that it has always been there, the entire time - and that there have been similar, but slightly different scents whenever other specimen of his kind have been around.<br>
<br>
"Zil'Thanei." Again, the same pictures as above.<br>
<br>
The last few images you manage to see are of a different nature - they show Ahassunu herself, through Thoc's eyes - which means in grey colors, and oulsating wherever warmer parts show. As if he'd compare the two, you also see images of the very seem, lightly armored seers, just like you saw them in the vision of the Zil'Thanei. Again, you hear his avalanche-like voice, as he seems to ask something.</div>

<br>
There was so much going on right now, and so little of it making actual sense.  Torrey started with what he knew.  First, the lizard-thing -- lizard-<i>person</i> -- seemed to finally understand no one wanted to fight here.  And somehow the lovely foreign-speaking woman had been the one to arrange that.  He didn't quite know how, but the two had been pretty focused on each other before the lizard-person stood down.  When Dr. Chauncey's introductions reached his own name, Torrey nodded to confirm that the doctor had his name correct, listening carefully to the names of the others as they came up.  And it seemed the lovely one, Aha-sanu, could somehow communicate with the lizard-person, Thoc (the rest was too odd to stick in Torrey's head; if it seemed important, he'd ask again later).  And this Dr. Ivy could, in turn, speak Aha-sanu's language.  Which at least meant they could all talk to each other, even if it was like a game of Gossip (which was probably the same as Dr. Ivy's "Chinese Whispers").<br>
<br>
He gave each person a formal-seeming nod.  "Nice to meet you all.  But umm, Specimen Acquisition Bot... sorry, I can't remember the number.  D'you have a short version like Thoc, here?  Anyway, do you, or does anyone, know where we are or why?  And what's with the temp going up?"</div>

<div style="display: block; margin-bottom: 5px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 10px;">The coins in the tray number a full score.  Twenty in all.  They appear to be flat discs barely the size of a farthing, perhaps a centimeter and a half at most.  They seem transparent, but for a faint tracery of spider-web like metallic patterns seemingly wrought through the transparent material.  Each appears identical to the other.  And other than their faint glow when the...the computer or whatever that panel was lit up, they seem completely inert now.  Other than the tray they rest in, which had emerged from beneath the glass sigil-laden panel, there doesn't appear to be anywhere to 'plug them in' (or anything else for that matter).  <br>
<br>
<div style="display: block; margin-bottom: 5px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 10px;">Upon close examination, each coin has a faint curvature.  <br>
<br>
<div style="display: block; margin-bottom: 5px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 10px;">As for the room, the wall opposite the beds everyone had woken in features panels of what seems like glass.  A pair of those panels are the length of a door, at least in as much as they began at about foot level and rise above one's head.  There isn't an obvious door handle, though, simply a metal frame holding the door-sized glass panels in place.  Nearby on the wall, where one might hang their coat when coming in from nasty English weather, is a square assortment of buttons arranged in a 5 x 5 pattern.  Each button bears a sigil that shimmers with the same slightly hazy, faintly indistinct waviness seen in the glass panels.  <br>

<div style="display: block; margin-bottom: 5px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 10px;">As others make introductions and begin to notice the temperature, the hum of the ventilation system cuts back, pitching down.  It may take a few minutes to confirm but it could be that the temperature has stabilized at something...well, it's about room temperature now for a human's physiology anyway.  <br>
<br>
<div style="display: block; margin-bottom: 5px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 10px;">Beyond the glass panels resembling a doorway lies a corridor of metal.  What little view any of you can get of it from inside this room, it appears to extend some distance in either direction.  Square shaped panels appear to be set into a rigid metal bracing of the ceiling, as if supporting immense weight.  Everything is brightly lit and remarkably clean.  <br>
<br>
<div style="display: block; margin-bottom: 5px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 10px;">...it's <i>possible</i> that just there, on the far right end of the visible corridor, someone determinedly looking might spot what looks like someone's <i>hand</i> lying palm down on the floor, fingers curled.  Given the angle, it's impossible to tell if it's attached to a body or not.  At least it looks human from here...<br>

			<div class="bbCodeBlock-content">Exactly how the coins operate depend on a dozen laws of physics not even dreamed of much less defined in Chauncey's native time period.  His exposure to other time periods and their technologies,  as well as the voiced appraisal of the minds his connected to, allowed him to puzzle out their utility, however.<br>
  The miniature golden filaments spread throughout the transparent material were designed to link to the nervous system, when placed against a good nerve bundle.  Affixing one to a point along the spine or neck would likely do it and given their transparent nature, they would be very hard to spot on others.  For that matter, they might function rather well if placed against the eyes, allowing direct connection to the optic nerve.  These kinds of devices were typically medical in nature, judging by the appraisal of Chauncey's other selves, but given the 'Language Assimilated' message and the timing, it seemed likely that these are intended to work as some kind of a translation device, perhaps by interlinking with the parts of the brain that process language and feeding information in somehow.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Ivy looked around the room. "All right, between the mysterious voice suddenly learning our languages and the temperature suddenly becoming fit for humans, I think it's safe to say we're being observed by something. Which leads to the question of whether this room is supposed to be a medical facility, a holding cell, or a cage in a zoo. And if it's the latter two, what are those glowing coin-things for? And more importantly, how do we get out?" She gestured to the doors as she spoke, hoping Thoc would at least get the gist of what she was talking about, and also translated quickly for Ahassunu -- though the Akkadian version would more accurately be rendered as, <i>"is this intended as a healer's chamber, a prison, or a pen for captured animals?"</i></div>

Chauncey replied to Dr. Ivy.  "Well doctor, if it <i>is </i>a pen or prison, it is <i>awfully accommodating!</i>  For one thing, we are upright and able to move as we please.  For another, we are able to freely interact with one another.  And yet another, we have these..." he held up two of the coins to his face, "...<i>tools</i>...  to work with.  What kind of prison operates under those conditions?  And where are the guards?" <br>
<br>
"As for how to leave this room, I have no ideas yet."  He pointed.  "Could someone perchance examine the 'exit door' closely?  Perhaps see what is outside?  It would be nice to know more about where we are and soon!"<br>
<br>
But as for knowing, Chauncey and his past lives had just had a discussion - a discussion that had made his mind whirl.  <i>These "coins" were not currency at all but something potentially far more magnificent and useful.</i>   "Likely neuro synapse enhancement of some kind," and "medical in nature," John the astronaut and engineer had said.  "Best when you slap that puppy right on a nerve center," Kyx the temporal engineer from the 54th century had added. <br>
<br>
Jumping Jehosaphat!  The possibilities!  The incredible science behind it all!  What could it mean?<br>
<br>
And what about Thoc the still-unhandsome lizard-warrior?  Chauncey had wondered.  What kind of nervous system did <i>he </i>have?  And the... ah... robot Torrey had referred to as "Specimen Acquisition Bot"?  Being a construct, it did not have a nervous system!  And "Bot"?  It must be short for robot, Chauncey concluded.  Perhaps <i>small, cute</i> robots like <i>it </i>was.<br>
<br>
<i>"Medical</i> in nature," he mumbled.  "Neuro synapse <i>enhancement</i>..."  Then Chauncey gasped.  He reached for his spectacles.  His nearsightedness!  Could these things possibly improve...  his poor eyesight?  Did he even dare to chance it? <br>
<br>
Well, he figured, if whomever had put them all here had wanted them harmed or dead, then they could have easily done that right easily!  His past and future lives were inside of him giving their opinions as usual, but this...  this decision and the responsibility to bore belonged solely to him.   He would blame no other.  Nor would he ask another in this strange, new group to do what he was not willing to do himself.  The very idea was uncivil and inhumane, he thought as he glanced at the muscled Thoc again. <br>
<br>
No, this decision to trust the unknown was entirely his own.  A shiver of fear raced through him.  Chauncey took a deep breath and gave a prayer to God who so often looked after doddering, trusting fools like himself. <br>
<br>
"A leap of faith indeed..."<br>
<br>
Then he set down his spectacles beside his cane and gently, simultaneously, placed one "coin" over each of his naked eyes.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><b>Kal'Thocalas<br>
</b><br>
Apparently, the seer understood his thoughts, trying to let her know what the words meant. At least, she now turns towards the others, once more speaking to her apprentice (if that is what her role is at least - it seems as if the seer only directs words to her specifically). Some of the sounds - with lots of imagination and good will - seem to imitate his name, and more importantly, the name of his people. In the wrong order, unfortunately - maybe in an attempt to emphasize his importance for whatever they have in mind, or maybe because they don't know any better.<br>
<br>
The mechanic seems to make some progress, judging by his quiet mumbling, just like those at home. He does point at what seems to be the exit door of this room, strangely different from the security door systems Thoc's familiar with. And as the apprentice pointed there as well, prior to the man, it seems to be high on the priority list, even though noone acts thus far. It makes some sense, certainly - to have control over all entry points is the most important part of staying safe, and it is the warriors' duty to take care of that. It is not surprising that a maskless fighter does not take care of that - however, that leaves only one in this room to protect them against whatever hostile creatures might be out there.<br>
<br>
Him. His left hand once more grabs his pistol, ready to fight if there is need, striding over to the door - showing the agility of an excellent predator, ready to leap at any kind of prey that shows itself. But before he can even reach the closed exit, his head abruptly turns to the left, spotting a little detail from the corner of his eye. Hardly noticeable; but the small details are what, more often than not, make the difference betweeen staying alive and failing. It looks like one of their tiny claws, almost out of sight - lying there, in the corridor, just as cold as its surrounding. Perhaps its owner is dead, or asleep - or there isn't one attached to it any longer. A warning, potentially, that those who are in this room are prey of something. Have they noticed yet? Apparently not; or they have, and are simply too scared to act themselves. As a member of the Kalei, he shows no fear - getting close to the exit, his right hand performing the one series of movements that opens every single door at home that is meant to be used by his caste.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">&gt;&gt;query: Torrey(V)=“sorry, I can't remember the number. D'you have a short version?”<br>
&gt;&gt;Searching...searching...<br>
&gt;&gt;!ERROR!<br>
&gt;&gt;Expand: ERROR=file.corrupted, access.path=1<br>
&gt;&gt;Expand: Memory.file=31546513512453<br>
<br>
Torrey’s question sent a quite literal jolt through Sab’s memory circuits, jump-starting access to a memory in the form of a video. Sab watched a past he had lived, but yet remained unfamiliar to him, through his own eyes…<br>
He floated along a busy street strewn with garbage and neon lights, all the while asking time and time again his age-old question. The audio flickered in and out, likely still suffering some corruption errors. Occasionally a flying hovercraft would roar overhead, and the younger Sab in the video would have to pause while the deafeningly loud engines passed before resuming his task.<br>
Finally, though, the reason the video file had been saved surfaced - the younger ‘bot spied a strangely dressed human a short distance away. She wore a short-sleeved shirt emblazoned with a large (although faded) red-white-and-blue flag. The view changed suddenly, and the audio recorded an sharp pop as the woman suddenly appeared in front of the video screen.<br>
Sab paused the playback, searching through his files. A teleport system, in slight disrepair but nothing an internal diagnostic couldn’t fix. He sent the task to his subprocessors and resumed the video.<br>
The younger Sab repeated his age-old question and...the woman grinned! A success! She gestured with her thumb to a building a short distance away, and began walking towards it. They talked - or at least, Sab assumed they did through the faulty audio - because when the corruption passed Sab heard her reply “Specimen Acquisition Bot? Too much of a mouthful for me, think I’ll just call you… Sab. Yeah, you alright with that?” The video cut to static and Sab never heard his own answer.<br>
<br>
Sab turned to Torrey. The conversation seemed to have moved on while he had watched the video. “You may call me ‘Sab’, if you prefer.” The reptilian Kal’Thocalas strode towards the door, weapon suddenly drawn. Sab rotated sharply, some subprocess warning him instinctively of danger but it seemed that the reptile was more intent on guarding the doorway.<br>
“I agree with Dr Llewis here” he continued, while keeping Thoc in the centre of his vision. “It seems that none of us are here by our own choice, and seeing as the majority of the galaxy are polite enough to ask before abducting others...we can assume we have been snatched away from our lives for one of three reasons: our own good, our Abductor’s good, or our own detriment. But if it is a prison or slaughterhouse, then they have been quite kind to us before our destruction. It seems that we have been summoned here for another purpose.”<br>
<br>
&gt;&gt;dignostic.exe=complete; ending task<br>
&gt;&gt;maneuverability systems=1<br>
&gt;&gt;charge=100%<br>
<br>
Without any warning, Sab vanished from in front of Torrey with a gentle pop and simultaneously appeared next to Thoc with the same sound.<br>
“You saw something” he stated, discarding his usual calm, friendly intonations for something deeper, a more masculine tone with a sharp robotic cadence. He pointed his metal hand, one squat finger extended, towards the organic hand grasping the floor.<br>

 Putting a transparent disc next to one's eye is a disconcerting experience, to say the least.  Especially for someone with no first-hand exposure to contact lenses.  These aren't quite like those anyway.  The moment Chauncey gets a good seal, there's a faint prickling sensation across that first eye followed by a faint, flickering blue image that seems to 'float' surreally before him.  It shares some cosmetic similarity to the strange symbols on the panel where these coins had been found.  <br>
<br>
<div style="display: block; margin-bottom: 5px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 10px;">Then the second lens pops into place, followed by the prickling sensation once more.  And the blue floating image abruptly vanishes.  <br>
<br>

<div style="display: block; margin-bottom: 5px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 10px;">As Chauncey surveys the room, nothing <i>seems</i> all that different and, in fact, his vision doesn't seem to be markedly better.  But another pass over the glass panel that'd been the source of the audio transmission reveals a startling discovery; the runes aren't runes anymore.  They're in English.  This control interface appears to be broken up by category, including a section set for monitoring patients in the beds, a section for environmental control and lighting, another section for communications and apparently a four section for accessing something called 'System Terminal'.  There's a faint gray shading over all four categories.  Most of the displayed data falls under the medical monitoring which currently shows each bed displayed along with a number of error messages that suggest whoever's in each bed is dead...or absent, since you're all standing up.  There's also a display box in the lower right that states 'Language translation enabled; LAD synched'.  <br>

 Meanwhile, Kal'Thocalas finds the glass door impenetrable, the activation ritual unsuccessful.  But then, this doesn't look anything like the doors at home.  There is a control panel, or what looks like one, set along the right side of the pair of glass panels sealing everyone in.  Strangely, it seems to have 25 keys instead of the standard series the Zil'Thanei employ.  Each key is graced with a strange sigil made out of some kind of lettering that is a touch hazy and indistinct, almost as if there isn't ink there at all but rather a hologram projected across the surface of each key but its focal lens is a little uncalibrated and so producing some artifacts of imprecision.  <br>

<div style="display: block; margin-bottom: 5px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 10px;">Replicating the series of movements for his caste produces a sound but no other reaction.  <br>

 As for Sab, the door is entirely flush with the floor.  Very likely, this room is sealed, either to contain the people or to seal off a potential contagion via quarantine.  Getting out into the corridor via teleportation, however, is certainly an option...<br>

 The world drops away and Ahassunu finds herself positioned out in the corridor.  To the left, the hallway ends after a dozen paces or so in a door that looks more like a treasure vault than something people actually open up and walk through.  Again, there's no visible door handle but there is a set of panels next to it that may hold the secrets to its opening.  Or not.  Perhaps the priests who built this place had no intention of allowing anyone sealed inside to escape?  <br>
<br>
<div style="border-left: solid 5px rgba(66, 61, 36, 0.75); display: inline-block; margin: 10px; vertical-align: top; width: 400px"><span data-s9e-mediaembed="soundcloud" style="height:166px;width:900px" data-s9e-mediaembed-iframe="[&quot;data-s9e-mediaembed&quot;,&quot;soundcloud&quot;,&quot;allowfullscreen&quot;,&quot;&quot;,&quot;scrolling&quot;,&quot;no&quot;,&quot;src&quot;,&quot;https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/ben-espey-1\/system-shock-2-eric-brosius-07&quot;,&quot;style&quot;,&quot;height:166px;width:900px&quot;]"></span></div><br>
<br>
<div style="display: block; margin-bottom: 5px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 10px;">To the right, the corridor proceeds some distance before ending in another portal just like the one to the left.  Unlike the one on the left, it stands open.  And by open, there's no visible trace of there being a door here at all, simply an open frame with no apparent means of sealing it.  Lying just inside of the doorway is a body, a young woman lying face down, arms outstretched as if she fell and couldn't rise again.  She wears a one-piece set of clothing unlike anything Ahassunu has seen, with a strange fabric and a uniform grey save for several patches of color embroidered with curious sigils and patterns.  <br>
<br>
<div style="display: block; margin-bottom: 5px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 10px;">The ever present hum of this place continues out here.  Though Ahassunu has no ears to hear or nose to smell with, she's aware that the air is a few degrees cooler than in the room everyone is in now, perhaps the same temperature everyone woke to.  And just faintly there's the trace of decay in the air, perhaps from the body...or perhaps from something else.  <br>
<br>
<div style="display: block; margin-bottom: 5px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 10px;">Beyond the doorway lies a corridor so long it seems to vanish into the distance.  Countless doors adorn either side, just as cold and unfriendly as any she's seen in this place.  <br>
<br>
<div style="display: block; margin-bottom: 5px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 10px;"><b>Success on Awareness + Medicine Roll</b>: As Ahassunu dips her perception lower and closer to the prone woman on the floor, several alarming details immediately stand out.  First, this woman's most definitely dead.  Her eyes are wide, staring and rather dried out.  She's also not breathing and Clairvoyantly Ahassunu can tell she's gone room temperature already.  Second, there's no obvious sign of what killed her.  No blood, no wounds, no sign of leprosy or plague or other contagion that would have doomed her though judging by the condition of the corpse's hair, she sweated a great deal before dying.  <br>
<br>
A last fact is immediately apparent: Other than the clothes, this woman looks <i>exactly</i> like Ahassunu herself, right down to the smallest detail.<br>

Turning shakily towards Ivy she says, "there's... there's a corpse lying outside. It... it's been dead for some time." She pauses, moving her lips slightly without making any sound as if she is choosing her next words very carefully. "It... It looks just like me. It looks just like me, and it is dead. I... I don't know what to make of such an omen, but..." she looks up and catches Ivy's eyes, fright written clearly in her own, "I do not think it is a good one."</div>

The precise movement of the hand causes two immediate results: For one, the almost expected one, as the door stays closed - playing a sound that is likely of importance, but unfamiliar to him. A brief glance at the control panel reveals not much more, and instead gives rise to even more questions. For example: Why would a seemingly high-advanced species use such a primitive way of sealing its doors? To replicate the rituals of the Zil'Thanei, it takes multiple cycles - he himself opened his first door during his fourth, and many need even more time than that. A panel like this one, on the other hand - even a child could find the right combination, given enough time. Not that it matters, at least for now - the unreadable sigils as well as the sound already tell him what he needs to know: He is not supposed to open this door, otherwise someone would have instructed him on how the panel works. That means however, that taking position here is as useful as anywhere else in this room; perhaps one can see the lying creature outside better from the respective corner of the room?<br>
<br>
The second, rather unexpected result of his actions interrupts that line of thought. A sound to his right, surprisingly close, a bit as if one of the targets in the shooting range would get hit by a well-aimed shot. Only that this is certainly not a training ground, and lives are likely at stake. The reptile-like creature turns around on the spot, claw and pistol raised to deal with whatever <i>thing </i>managed to sneak up on him; before stopping in the midst of the motion. The very same robot he already noticed, releasing a series of different noises that appear to be closer to his native language, but still do not make any sense. Perhaps it is slowly adapting its configuration? His arm points in direction of the lonely hand out there, showing that at least the robotic senses have noticed the sign of danger; it is a completely different question what its gesture is supposed to mean. An order to examine the hand further? His plans in that regard are blocked by the door, telling him that now is not the right time. "I do not understand - activate Thaneian files." It is unlikely that the bot will be able to recognize the language, but it is certainly worth a try. After all, this entire place is not one where he should be. Maybe, this mechanical creature has access to the languages of all those specimen that <i>somehow </i>came aboard.</div>

"Good heavens!"  Chauncey grinned and clapped for his gamble had paid off!  Through the strange devices, he could comprehend the unknown - the neurosynaptic enhancers turned gibberish into words as clear they may as well have been written in the Queen's tongue!  Or close enough.  Either way, <i>this </i>wartime doctor-become-time traveler would take his good fortune and appreciate it down to the tiniest bit!<br>
<br>
Chauncey looked around the room carefully.  When it was clear that his nearsightedness was still present, he donned his spectacles and looked again for <i>anything</i> else out of the ordinary in the room, especially those people in it, for something else might have changed while he was distracted with the enhancers.<br>
<br>
He saw "Sab" speaking with Torrey and in a way that seemed to imply great independence.  There was clearly more to the little fellow than what met the eye, however that eye was enhanced.  Sab disappeared completely only to immediately reappear nearby.  Teleportation!  The little "bot" could change locations without physically moving!  He had heard the theory but had never seen it in action until today.  Simply marvelous.  Chauncey hoped it might serve to get it out of this room if the rest of the group could not find a way to open the door from the inside.<br>
<br>
He examined Thoc.  Of all the people in the room, and indeed he was "people" to Chauncey; just one of a different sort altogether, Chauncey was surprised to see Thoc investigating the door before any of the others.   So, at the least, the creature clearly understood the notion of <i>pointing</i> as Chauncey had toward the door.  At least they had that much.  Thoc reached for his weapon, no doubt it was some highly lethal device made purely for killing, just like what humans made in abundance except perhaps flashier and more efficient - <i>just </i>what the universe needed more of...  <br>
<br>
Thoc seemed to be on edge like everyone else.  This seemed especially true when Thoc turned to Sab, weapon at the ready.  Then Thoc spoke again and it may as well have been Ahassunu speaking for all that Chauncey could understand. <br>
<br>
And speaking of that very pretty girl, suddenly she was suffering in some kind of emotional trauma!  Oh dear!  It seemed only this Doctor Ivy person could communicate with her, a fact which Chauncey was glad for.  But what had happened?  Had the full gravity of their situation finally dawned upon the young woman?  Chauncey had certainly seen his share of young men crack under similar strain during what he liked to call, "The War That Should Have Been The Very Last War Ever."  <i>Something</i> frightened the poor lass into screaming just now.  But what?<br>
<br>
If only they could all communicate and know where they were together!<br>
<br>
Chauncey juggled his options.  How best to serve everyone?  How best to get everybody together and out of...  whatever this was?  Clearly, <i>someone</i> or <i>something</i> had the power to whisk each of them out of their times and places into wherever they were, likely some underground bunker, safehouse, or complex of sorts given by the structural supports he had seen.<br>
<br>
But that is when, deep inside his ever-moving mind, John the Astronaut from Chauncey's future raised his hand...<br>
<br>

			<div class="bbCodeBlock-content">"Chauncey," John offered, looking serious.  "You might not be underground at all."<br>
<br>
Chauncey pondered.  "No?  <i>Come</i> now, John.  But look at how it is all <i>made!</i>  The supports, the walls.  The very structure of this looks more sound than a battleship and ten times as sturdy!"<br>
<br>
"Take notice of the absolute lack of dust, sir.  If you are underground, shouldn't there be some <i>somewhere?</i>  The impeccable cleanliness of this bay might not be restricted to just this room, but all over.  You have what certainly appears to be alien technology and scientific components all wrapped up inside a place seemingly made to withstand the rigors of..."<br>
<br>
"Of what, old chap?  I fail to see what you are getting at."<br>
<br>
<i>"Space,</i> Dr. Roundbottom.  I think you might benefit from the possibility that you're all floating around <i>in space."</i><br>
<br>
Chauncey floundered for a moment.  <i>Space?!</i>  As in...  <i>not</i> on a planet?  "You mean...  You mean to suggest that we are in a <i>vessel </i>of sorts?  Among the very stars?"<br>
<br>
"I do.  Or a space station.  I have been on my share of both.  It's what I do.  Of course, all were made of human construction.  There are some distinct parallels between those accomplishments and where you are now.  It's only a suggestion; I have no hard evidence other than what I've shared just now."<br>
<br>
"So...  I take it this changes things.  Wait, wait!  Do not give me the answer..."  Chauncey thought hard.  "Let me guess.  Beware of any doors that you cannot see the other side of and which hold a purpose wholly unknown..."<br>
<br>
"Right.  Or you might find yourself thrust outside into the cold vacuum of space, in which case, only your little robot companion would likely survive."<br>
<br>
"And...  if you are correct, there are likely no...  natural resources to replenish us.  No... water, food, and a limited amount of air?"<br>
<br>
"Yes to the first two, but the latter will likely be recycled air.  Just be cautious - if you lose power, you eventually lose the ability to replace that air."<br>
<br>
"And by power, of course, you mean electricity."  Chauncey put his hands to his head and gave a big sigh.  This might change things.  If John were right, and they were all floating around in an interstellar vessel or city in the stars, how were any of them to get back to their respective homes?  <br>
<br>
And...  a strange little thought then crept into the corner of Chauncey's mind...  <i>Did he want to return home?</i>  <br>
<br>
What was back there anyway but war and death and blood and madness all around?  Chauncey had seen his own dear friends blown to bloody bits.  He had precious little family to return to.  Ah, he reasoned, but this was a conversation for another time.  These people here, whomever they all were, required his help every bit as much as he required theirs.  <br>
<br>
"Right-o. <i> Thank you, </i>John.  As always, you provide some important perspective I lack."<br>
<br>
"I live to serve," John saluted.<br>
<br>
Chauncey returned the salute wholeheartedly before returning to the scene at hand.</div>
		</div>
	</div>
</div><br>
"Everyone!  Everyone!  Please!"  Chauncey waved his hands and smiled in a way he hoped would bring them...  welll...  <i>hope!</i>  He especially made pointing gestures toward himself and the array of coins, er, neurosynaptic enhancers.  "Do come over here this instant!  I have discovered these little devices might help us - <i>all of us!"<br>
</i><br>
If Ahassunu did not appear to understand or if Thoc hesitated, Chauncey would calmly approach each, cane in hand.  The former with the open arm of a gentleman to guide the beautiful young ladyor in the latter, he would slowly and gently motion the reptilian's ray gun back toward its holster, and if allowed, show him toward the enhancers.  <br>
<br>
"You see...  by placing them in a nerve cluster on one's person," Chauncey paused upon coming to the realization that one in their party - Sab - <i>had</i> no such thing, "I can now <i>read these instruments!</i>  It is as if these <i>enhancers</i> have altered my eyes to see the writing as if it were in my native tongue!  Putting them in my eyes was a perfectly painless procedure and I can demonstrate if you would like.  This way, we might all communicate!"<br>
<br>
Chauncey put his cane under his arm.  With care, he took two of the disc-like enhancers and presented them to the rest of the group.  He smiled, the little boy in him coming out in delight.  "Now then, who would like to be the next to enjoy these enhancements?"</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Sab turned to Torrey. “You may call me ‘Sab’, if you prefer.”<br>
<br>
Torrey nodded slowly.  "Sab it is, then."  He leaned back, sliding one hip up onto the edge of the nearest bed, and stuck his hands in his trousers' back pockets, a deliberately casual pose that he hoped would disguise his continued wariness of the others, especially Thoc.  (Doctors probably weren't much of a threat, and Aha-sanu clearly didn't have any weapons.  Sab was an unknown, but hadn't demonstrated any particular hostility to anyone.)  He jerked upright when the bot vanished, only to reappear near the door.  <i>That</i> was <i>certainly</i> an unknown where he came from!  The others seemed similarly surprised, he noticed, and relaxed back against the bed.  His gaze rested on the reappeared Sab and Thoc, who was investigating the door.  Torrey was considering joining them when two separate, and completely different, emotional voices sang out through the room.<br>
<br>
Poor Aha-sanu captured the majority of Torrey's attention, and he walked up to just within reach so that he could pat her shoulder comfortingly.  He'd no idea what she had said, but she was clearly upset, and he couldn't just stand by and watch something like that.<br>
<br>
He looked back at the equally-excited Dr. Chauncey, who was rather more pleased than disturbed.  "Enhancers, is it?  And you're sure there's no... unfortunate side effects?"  Torrey didn't have any strong objection to trying on the enhancers, himself, but it didn't sound like Dr. Chauncey knew all that much more about this place than the rest of them did, and unknown tech could be pretty strange.  Well, witness the talking, floating, teleporting Sab!  On the other hand, could be that just being able to read this place's signs would get them out, not to mention a good deal more informed.  For all he knew, that panel by the door was labeled with "Lock," "Unlock," "Open," and "Close."</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">"Oh, that is not good," said Ivy, in response to Ahassunu's revelation. "That is very, very not good. But it answers the question of why nobody came to inspect us, after having gone to the trouble of collecting us in the first place."<br>
<br>
Turning to the others, she said, "I think we'd better wait before trying to get out. This lady is, um, a psychic--" <i>Do they use words like that where these people are from?</i> "--and she says there's a dead woman in the hallway who's been lying there for some time. So...I would guess that either she was here by herself, or everybody in this place has been, um, incapacitated in some way. This is pure speculation, but if this room <i>is</i> a medical facility -- and it certainly smells like one -- it might be the only thing protecting us from whatever did--" she waved a hand in the direction of the silent outside corridor, "--that. We need more data before we risk opening the door." <br>
<br>
She eyed the enhancers dubiously, then said to Ahassunu: "He says the little disks are clever devices that let him read the writing on the walls here. I'm divided: on the one hand, we need to know as much as possible about our surroundings; on the other, something here is deadly, and we don't know what it is." She spoke seriously, genuinely desiring the other woman's thoughts on the matter -- Ivy might be more familiar with technological concepts, but Ahassunu lived in a more dangerous world than that which Ivy had come from.</div>

From behind his round spectacles, Chauncey gave a serious glance to the chap named Torrey.  "My dear fellow, I am not certain of <i>anything</i> at the moment except the clear necessity<i> to know more."  </i><br>
<br>
Chauncey wanted to ask Doctor Ivy what was going on with Ahassunu, but being a gentleman, he did not want to interfere with their conversation lest some important element in it become lost.  And so, he settled on the machine before him.  Now he could <i>read and comprehend</i> what was on the screen.  This was a <i>huge</i> advantage to what they all had but moments before.  But to what end?  He would see for himself.  <br>
<br>
Besides that, the technologically-inclined nerdy little boy inside of him was just having an absolute blast with all of this.  Space cities?  Alien computers?  Floating teleporting robots?  Ray guns?  A timeless beauty wearing little more than his coat?  Well, he thought, <i>there</i> was a distraction if there ever was one.  Ahassunu's beauty was captivating, but Chauncey realized it would do no one any good, least of all him, if he fell into his emotions and gazed at her as he wanted to do.  Besides, he reminded himself, he <i>was</i>, or rather <i>would be,</i> a beauty of equal measure in the future when he became Lily.  The flower child of the 1960s was every bit Ahassunu's sister-in-womanly-attractiveness.  Even Tommy the Brute loved to gaze at Lily though they were all the same person.  <br>
<br>
Such thoughts were nothing knew to Doctor Roundbottom, but this entire situation was nothing <i>but</i> new to him and all gathered.  It was up to all of them to discover or stagnate...  and Chauncey despised the uselessness of stagnation in times of need.<br>
<br>

			<div class="bbCodeBlock-content">Chauncey reached inside his mind while his eyes gazed at the computer before him.  Eccentric and again close to distraction, he could feel his focus slipping once more.  "Gang?  Could...  someone play some thinking music for me, please?  I'm slipping again."<br>
<br>
"I got'cha thinkin' groove<i> right here,</i> baby.  Purse ya lips an' take a cool sip a <i>this." </i> It was DJ Heavenly, the 20th-21st century mistress of music and the tyrant of the turntables.  Tossing her curly black hair behind her, the confident mix-master and breakdancer pulled forth a European groove that only the Princess of Pop could provide.  <br>

Chauncey found himself pursing his lips for a moment.  The song soothed and spoke of self-control.  "My dear, you are full of surprises."<br>
<br>
DJ Heavenly just smiled widely and blew him a kiss.  "Surprises are tha <i>name </i>of tha <i>game, </i>Mister Chauncey.  Now go an' do it to it, baby."</div>
		</div>
	</div>
</div><br>
<br>
Chauncey unconsciously grooved to a sound no one outside of him could hear.  His feet and head bobbed up and down ever so slightly.  His breathing slowed and his eyes and hands joined together in working the machine.  Chauncey made three attempts.<br>
<br>
"It seems..." he muttered aloud, "...this device was recording our individual statuses before we returned to consciousness.  Perhaps it also might provide detailed medical data, and more importantly, <i>history</i>."  This was his first attempt - to access this sort of data.  Where had they come from?  How had they been brought here?  How might their medical data be of further use here?<br>
<br>
Then his view roamed to the communications display.  This he wanted to examine in detail and, if possible, replay any communications stored inside the machine's brain, or computer database as John the Astronaut would likely have referred to it.<br>
<br>
Lastly, Chauncey tried to get to know the System Terminal.  True, much of it was greyed-out, but Chauncey wanted to try to see if he could learn how to find out what it needed.  There was much to do and much on the line so Chauncey put forth his very best effort.  <br>
<br>
Computers!  His mind raced.  Nothing would be the same after their invention, would it?!</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Thoc turned, raising his pistol to deal with the sudden intrusion. Sab quickly floated back a meter. The reptile growled in its strange, snarling language at him - a response expected by Sab. The blue light of the scanner washed over Thoc several times as he spoke, stopping when he finished speaking. If his primary objective was to be delayed until he could safely escape here, communication with all present individuals would be paramount to their success.<br>
<br>
Sab quickly organised the data he had gathered - breath rate, pitch, tone, syllable possibilities as well as visual data into some semblance of a language - coupled with more information taken from the scraps of audio and video he found from his time here so far. Medical data was filed away too - notably that his bacteria was vastly different to anything Sab had on his files. Traces of long-gone foreign chemicals - perhaps some type of battle stimulant, otherwise chemical warfare was another likely possibility - could be found in Thoc’s lungs, although other than that he was amazingly healthy. Even a few fractures were almost completely healed, far beyond the possibility of natural human repair.<br>
<br>
Chauncey called everyone’s attention to him and explained the translation effects of the small blue disks now placed on his eyes. Sab halted the processing of Thoc’s data and considered the game-changer that Chauncey now offered. Communication with all present individuals was paramount to the group’s success...and this new device was a convenient, quick and timely solution to the problem. Chauncey offered the translators, one in each hand, to the group.<br>
<br>
Sab considered the possibility that he was being inefficiently paranoid, and decided upon a temporary solution. He teleported over to the tray behind the Englishman, then picked up a translator and inspected it with his scanner briefly before tucking it into a tray hidden just under his monocle. Inside him, scanners virtually dissected every nanometer of the device, searching for traps and trackers and tricks - anything that could be used against the group.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><b>Kal'Thocalas<br>
</b><br>
These lungs have inhaled the Crumbly Death, and these scales have weathered the deadliest fire his caste and people have ever faced. Whatever this robot can throw at him, it is likely that he survives - thus, the Zil'Thaneian warrior does not immediately take aim as the machine jumps backwards to reach its optimal combat distance; besides, if the creators of this artificial life wanted to create a deadly machine, it would have spit fire and death at him already. Instead, the eyes behind the mask observe a cold light from its sensors - likely trying to collect more data for whatever routine might run in the background of its mind. For now, it does not seem as if it would be able to answer his request; not too surprising, as his people have mostly been busy fighting their own wars instead of reaching out for more. But that also means that things will not become easier from this moment on.<br>
<br>
Before the robot can reach a final result of its analysis, the likely responsible mechanic interrupts with a mixture of wild gestures and words he cannot understand. But as the machine next to him does react by turning towards the direction where the man apparently found what seems to excite him right now, Thoc's head turns around towards that direction as well, trying to get a grasp of the situation. Maybe the man notices his uncertainty, coming closer to offer more meaningless gestures - then, it happens. Maybe he doesn't know his proper place, or he thinks that this is a secure place; whatever the mechanic's reasoning is, he grabs for the pistol in Thoc's hand. Before his hands can touch what none of his kind should ever reach out for, Thoc already reacts in one of only two possible ways - the forewarning, as the man's eyes do not show the burning evil yet. Pulling his arm back, the mighty jaws release a loud growl, a sound that needs no further explanations other than the staring gaze that can be felt even through the mask.<br>
<br>
Then, he abruptly turns away from the man with the staff, and gets closer to the screens and things that he has seemingly discovered - just in case the mechanic does know the right behaviour, and simply did not know a better way to alarm him. At first glance, the objects that lie there look unharmful; and compared to the dangers that seem to linger outside it is doubtful that the screens can show anything more severe, especially as the symbols there are as unclear as those on the door. Thoc's clawed hand grabs one of the strange devices, and holds it up to the light - before trying to break it to bits by brute force, and if necessary, firing off a shot of his pistol at it to test its resilience. If it is destructible, it causes no harm - if not, it might be of use.</div>
