[Jesse. Looks. Freaked. His eyes are huge in his face, his skin ashen, and it looks like he's stopped shaving again. His voice is shaking a little when he talks:]

You-- you guys are hearing this shit, too, right? It's not just me?

[Because if he's starting to hallucinate when he's not high, that is a pretty bad fucking sign. And he just got over ( Read more... )

I had a close encounter with a grenade recently. I have some fairly bad burns and shrapnel lacerations on my side. But other than that, I'm perfectly fine.

I have no objections to your working on a project, although you'll need a warden to let you into to the lab. While you're there, get the artrometer and take get a few readings around the Barge, particularly on deck. The phenomena might be the result of a massive temporal displacement, aging the Barge and carrying voices through time.

Shit. ...Get well soon.

Cool, yo. Will do. What do you want me to do with the readings, send them over to you?

[And another text, a minute later:] Wait. Like we're time traveling?

[Narvin never quite knows what to make of it when other people are solicitous of his health. So he focuses on business.]

Yes, send me the readings. I'll only be in the infirmary for a few days-- Gallifreyans heal much faster than humans--but you should be able to get a sufficient number of samples in that time. Fifty or so ought to do it to start with.

[And after the second text:]

In this case, more like pockets of time that are out of sync with our time colliding with us, so bits of the past and future leak into the present. It's just a theory at the moment, but it would explain the voices and the rapid aging.

Fifty readings? [Well, if he does it while things are synthesizing... a few days will totally be enough time to make some real "progress"...] Okay, boss. Fifty it is.

[He's going to need to take a while to understand the second one. He gets it, eventually, but all he can think to say is:] That is pretty fucked up.

But that means they're real, anyway. Right? They're real.

Yeah, no problem. Where do you want me to drop them off?

[Private | Voice] yeahscience October 3 2011, 05:28:55 UTC

My place. 7-6.

[Private | Voice] batmanschmatman October 3 2011, 05:32:57 UTC

I'll be there once I've got them.

[Private | Voice] yeahscience October 3 2011, 05:35:03 UTC

Wait, hold up. Could you let me into the lab?

I am. I can't tell who they are or where they're speaking from...

yeahscience October 3 2011, 10:41:00 UTC

Ohhhhhh, God. [Jesse lets out a long sigh, folding his arms tight over his chest.] Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Private strangehstorian October 3 2011, 10:43:34 UTC

Are you... okay? It gave me a bit of a startle, too.

[Private] yeahscience October 3 2011, 11:09:15 UTC

I, uh. Yeah, it's just kind of... crazy, you know? Like I thought maybe I was...

Hearing what?

IS THIS VIDEO TOO? yeahscience October 3 2011, 10:38:59 UTC

These voices, man, they sound like voices... [He squints at the screen. What is...?]

Like everywhere, yo. [He glances around his room, still wide-eyed, arms tightening over his chest, hugging himself a bit.] Even in here -- they're everywhere.

[Jesse looks down, hands dropping into his lap, rubbing his knuckles nervously. He looks -- he is -- torn. He does want someone there, but for Claire to see him like this? That's risky.]

Nah... it's cool. Don't worry about it.
