[Warden filter]I think it may be wise for us all to check in with the location and well-being of our inmates, as at least one inmate has gone missing - and it may be worth ascertaining whether this is a one off occurrence, or something involving more than one person, so we can work together to find out why and how this might be happening ( Read more... )

How long has it been since he was last seen?

Re: Filter iam_aghost October 7 2011, 17:26:09 UTC

He was supposed to meet me yesterday for dinner. He never showed up, but I can work most of that out for myself, I'm more curious if there's a pattern, or if it is just Mr Profit.

Private buywithme October 7 2011, 18:05:37 UTC

I have... uh, one or two? But I don't think they could mistake Jim Profit for me for any length of time. They tend to be quite talkative.

[Pause. Then again, it's actually entirely possible that Beatty could have crept up on him and murdered him from behind this time.]

But I'll contact them. Make sure that they know that If they have him, he isn't me.

Your item hasn't alerted you to him being injured, has it?

Re: Private iam_aghost October 7 2011, 18:09:36 UTC

I'm more worried someone might have knocked him unconscious and locked him up somewhere. As I haven't been alerted to injury at all. He's still alive and well, physically, but that doesn't mean he's alright, either.

...Be careful talking to them, I don't want anyone getting ideas from it, either.

Private buywithme October 7 2011, 18:13:07 UTC

Yeah, that... is the kind of thing that people would do to me.

There, I've asked. And don't worry, Comrade, it's nothing that he hasn't already had the idea for.

Re: Private iam_aghost October 7 2011, 21:53:20 UTC

...Please let me know if he says anything useful. I hate to drag you into this, just because of how you look, but it's a real possibility.

Mr. Stone has been oddly quiet and reclusive lately. I haven't seen him on the network or around the ship. It's uncharacteristic of him and I'm beginning to grow concerned.

If these recently appearing figures and voices are leaking through from another dimension, half-on and half-off the ship, it might be possible that a person on the ship could slip through the dimensional crack in the other direction and be both here and not here.

Re: [Warden Filter] iam_aghost October 7 2011, 21:29:31 UTC

Mr Stone being the gentleman with... curious taste in clothing, yes?

If there's more than one, then, well, what could Stone and Profit have in common? I'm struggling.

How do we define 'another dimension', and how would we go about getting them back?

[At least it's not a ghost theory]

[Warden Filter] timesbureaucrat October 8 2011, 05:15:04 UTC

And vertical hair, yes.

Both inmates. Both relatively young men. But beyond that there's nothing immediately obvious. Whatever's got them could be targeting something it senses and we don't, however. Perhaps they have the same blood type, or share a certain recessive gene. Or perhaps they were simply both in the wrong place at the wrong time.

If they are in another dimension...[he pauses, thinks about how to phrase it in English words] ...it would entail them shifting over to identical spatio-temporal coordinates in a pocket of reality currently layered on top of our own. To get them back we'd have to enter that other reality, find them, and pull them across.

Re: [Warden Filter] iam_aghost October 8 2011, 15:33:34 UTC

Dr Lewis and Mozenrath are suspected too.

None of them are immediately violent inmates. They... well, I hate to say it, but they are easy targets, if you want to win a fight against someone, or incapacitate them.

...how are they still on our items if they are in another dimension?

Mozenrath has been quiet lately and didn't respond to my last message. Though he could just be ignoring me again because I'm not Severus. [Someone is getting a little sick of her Inmate's sulking.]

Re: [wardens] iam_aghost October 8 2011, 15:31:47 UTC

Perhaps it might be worth going to check on him in person. If he is just ignoring you, there's no harm done.

[wardens] can_has_vodka October 8 2011, 19:43:57 UTC

I posilutely will. I think that daily check ins might be a good idea in general until things are...well, as normal as they get.

Re: [wardens] iam_aghost October 8 2011, 21:42:37 UTC

I imagine they're not a bad idea in general, to be honest.

Rex is...missing. Or sulking. Or...well, he's not responding.

Re: Filter iam_aghost October 8 2011, 15:30:43 UTC

Have you looked in his room yet? He's still marked as here?

As some people have been missing outright.

Filter ourlastbesthope October 8 2011, 21:44:21 UTC

Yes and yes. I can't actually go in his room, but there's no response.

Re: Filter iam_aghost October 8 2011, 21:46:48 UTC

Why not? If there was ever a cause to break in, this would be it.
