[Meeting time! Everyone come in, mingle, greet the newbies. Yuan's sitting at the front of the room, surrounded by more papers than usual, and looking...particularly grim? That seems strange, considering that they've won the big fight.

Haven't they? ...Maybe he's just tired.]

[Alan is just going to observe for a little while to get a feel of the place, taking a few sips of coffee here and there.]

[is0latedthinker]

[Alan shakes his head, taking another sip of his coffee.] What were you testing it on? Yourselves?

[jamesholmes]

[He's give him a rather calm look and just says it like its fact.] After making a serum we were positive would work, yes.

[is0latedthinker]

[You, sir, are crazy.] And it did, apparently.

[jamesholmes]

[Is it any consolation that he's one of the sane ones out of the five?] It did indeed, brought out, latent genetic abnormalities in those of us that were injected with it.

[is0latedthinker]

[Yes, at least he's not Tesla.] Well that certainly changes my perspective on things.

[jamesholmes]

[So true, and at least he's not Jack the Ripper.] Oh really? In what way does it change your perspective on things?

[is0latedthinker]

Most of the strange thing I've learned here haven't had to do with Earth, even an alternate one.

[jamesholmes]

Ahh yes that would most certainly put things into perspective, about just how different some versions of Earth really are yes?

[is0latedthinker]

Exactly. You've got people and creatures with super powers - we've got humanoid computer programs. Quite the variety.

[jamesholmes]

I suppose you could call them super powers yes. But humanoid computer programs? How did that come to be? [No matter his dislike for technology, he knows it has its place and well this is different.]

[is0latedthinker]

I'm not too sure, really, but it seems it's been that way for a long time. I actually didn't learn about it until I got here.

And I've heard I'll forget all about it once I go back.

[jamesholmes]

Just...how did it...[Don't mind him Alan he's just mulling it over in his head, it really is a fascinating thing.] I have, never heard of such a thing.

And that, unfortunately, doesn't surprise me. We go back to when we were in time, it only makes sense that any knowledge, gleamed from here would not be retained.

[is0latedthinker]

Neither had I, before I got here, though a friend of mine had hinted at it before he disappeared.

It makes sense, but I wish I wouldn't forget. I finally got to see that friend of mine again, after twenty years.

[jamesholmes]

But such a thing as that, is it an isolated thing inside of one system or is it spread out over an entire network?

Hmm, yes, I can understand that fully. Helen, the friend whose departure set off Nikola, just arrived recently, I'm dead in her time, have been for, two years. This place allows us to see who we may not again, but it's cruel in not allowing us to remember it.

[is0latedthinker]

It's inside one system, called the Grid, though I believe the idea originally developed from a network.

It is. But by the time it's able to be cruel, we won't even know what we've lost.
