[Four]

[Anew is walking around the beach Enviro-dome. She's walking near the water and seems to be lost in thought. Of course everyone can see what she is thinking about. There's a thought bubble that shows Lyle's face. She sighs.]

How can a time loop be possible?

[that bubble thing is...odd. Oliver is not aware that he has one over his head showing a blue police box] Well, I think making a time loop is just a matter of having the right technology. Or...I dunno. You'd be surprised how time can work. The Doctor could probably explain it properly. [now there's a little Doctor outside the blue police box]

But I think we're stuck in more than just a time loop. I mean...whatever's going on on this ship seems more complicated than that.

[She is startled as she wasn't expecting anyone to be listening. She smiles. She is rather assumed by the little thought bubble with the police box and then the police box with the doctor, not realizing she has one as well.]

I will have to check with the Doctor then. Thank you. And I would agree with you that there is more to it. Since it is not merely time reversing itself from what I've seen and heard.

[oliverplus]

Yeah, I just wish we could explain what it actually is as easily as...well, as the Doctor could explain a time loop.

[a_new_innovator]

[she chuckles] Yeah, I wish we could.

So how have you been since everything has reset?

[flareofgenius]

Theoretically, it should be simple enough- what you'd need is something to essentially 'shove' you back to a certain point. The trouble would be more in finding something that could do that. [There might have been something big and spiky in her thought bubble, but it's swiftly shoved aside for a guy in an overcoat and bowler hat- more because she's not really dealing with that at the moment than that she's realised the bubbles are there.]

[a_new_innovator]

I guess that makes sense. The issue is finding something that would be able to do that. I doubt there is something with that capability in the world I am from.

[She doesn't notice the first thought bubble and doesn't mention about the new one.]

[flareofgenius]

Yeah, that's true. I'm not sure I can think of anything from home that'd do that, either…

Where're you from?

[a_new_innovator]

I'm from Earth, though I guess it is probably just one version of it. There are mobile suits there... if you know Neil or Lyle, I'm also from their world.

[not_that_lockon]

[Lyle's bubble is currently showing a grinning face - he's both touched and amused that she's thinking about him.]

Search me. I leave that sort of thing to the time travelers among us.

[a_new_innovator]

[She smiles seeing him]

Probably better that way. They would probably understand it better.

[not_that_lockon]

Or at least they'd pretend to, which is sometimes the same thing.

[As he says that, his bubble shifts to a little Doctor stick figure.]

[a_new_innovator]

[she chuckles, the thought bubble also changing to the Doctor for the moment.]

That is true. Of course, because we don't understand they could say just about anything.

[bit_impossible]

Well, there's any number of reasons how and why a time loop might occur... [and he hasn't quite noticed it yet, but as he thinks about the best way to explain it, several thought bubbles, each containing complicated little symbols that make perfect sense to him, begin to show up and occasionally the TARDIS, in her blue police box form, pops up amongst them all.]

[a_new_innovator]

That would make sense. I would imagine it wouldn't be just one way.

[She is amused by the thought bubbles that keep appearing, especially the one of the blue police box.]

[bit_impossible]

No, and unfortunately where black holes are involved, most logical reasons get thrown out the window, so to speak.

[a_new_innovator]

That is true as everything approaches the singularity. That's when the laws of physics stop applying.
