Keeping Busy
Hi everyone,

In order to keep my mind active I've picked up a few different things but variety is key;
Katherine mentioned that she gave flight lessons using some of the SVs in the hanger. I've found a few that look similar enough to share some tips on.

In addition, I was wondering if some of the station residents who had been here for a while would mind meeting up for a quick chat? I've got some questions about a few things.
Specifically why are we here? Why did we get taken off to the island and split up with different people? Who is this girl?

Just to name a few. I'm not angry, I'm just looking for some answers to stave off the crazy.

Cheers

Annie.

The why would be different from person to person. Some are brought here to evade an impending doom for the duration of their stay here. Some because they hadn't found happiness where they were, so they might find it here. Some because they caused wormholes in space and time, I won't name names. But that is mostly a theory, but I imagine everyone's 'why' is different.

As to why we were spirited off to the island, that is where some of us started. It was our home for a good while. Or, that was a copy of it. I don't have a more indepth why.

I have never met the girl, but I know some people have talked to her.

I figured people might say that.

When I'm talking about the why, I don't mean "why am I now here", though I was vague and for that I'm sorry.

Why were we "brought" here? I am sure we all have our valid reasons for rationalising the how we ended up here but a confluence of individuals of all of our calibres is significant, profound and must have meaning.

Perhaps I am grasping for reason, but I am not a believer in coincidence.

	Oh, so more along the lines of why the station and not the island, for instance? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I think the question I'm trying to ask is; Why am I here in this place rather than in my home universe/world/place? If something brought me here on purpose, why? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

That used to be an easy question to answer, but it has got increasingly hard since we got here. You see, on the island, not the one we were sent to but the one that started this, there used to be billions of books scattered everywhere, everyone had one, from Gandhi to Stalin. From what I could gather, without talking to her, is we were read from these books. That's why you're here and not there. If there's a purpose that would depend on your skill set.

	I guess that shouldn't make as much sense as it does to me, but it does and it just leaves me with more questions. Do you know if I can ask her, or how I can? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I've never tried, but you could try sending her a direct message? I don't know if she reads group posts. (Reply to this) (Parent)
