I've noticed that a lot of people who come here introduce themselves on the network, so I figured maybe I should too. My name's Cal Kestis. I arrived here not too long ago. If you see a little droid running around, that's BD-1. He came here with me. Chances are I'm probably not too far away from him.

What kind of things do people do on the station? How have you all adapted to living here? Have things changed a lot for all of you or did your life stay roughly the same? I know, I ask a lot of questions. I guess it's my way of adapting to things. And my way of getting to know how things work here.

	I wasn't born on the station, no, we used to be on an island, on a very small planet. But we rebelled against one of the powers that be and kind of threw stuff out of balance. Also, I'm from the future. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sounds like you've been through a lot. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sarah_sully 2024-03-17 10:32 am UTC (link)
	Well, I guess so. But no more than most people have, probably? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cal_kestis 2024-03-17 11:44 am UTC (link)
	Maybe. So how are things here? Do you still have to worry about the "powers that be"? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sarah_sully 2024-03-18 06:47 am UTC (link)
	Not really, I mean things happen every once in a while, but nothing as bad what was happening. People still vanish, but I don't think anyone is doing it to be malicious. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cal_kestis 2024-03-18 07:11 am UTC (link)
	Can I ask what sort of things? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sarah_sully 2024-03-18 07:58 am UTC (link)
	With him or without him? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cal_kestis 2024-03-18 08:36 am UTC (link)
	Him? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sarah_sully 2024-03-18 08:44 am UTC (link)
	The power that be that we got rid of. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cal_kestis 2024-03-18 09:01 am UTC (link)
	Both then? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Well, on the island He would do cruel things like take everyone's powers away, and then take the electricity away, and bombard it with storms. Here just mild things happen, like there's holes in space and time that allow people from the future to pass through more often than they used to, like two of my children are currently roughly twenty years older than they should be. And there's the occasional gender swap.

	That sounds horrible. And confusing. When was the last time something like that happened? Do these things last long? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sarah_sully 2024-03-19 07:08 am UTC (link)
	It's not too bad. Or it isn't if you're used to it I guess? The last gender swap was just over a year and a half ago. The time jump, well, my son has been here for a few years now, and my daughter came through just over a year ago. Being a man is weird. er. No offence. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cal_kestis 2024-03-19 08:15 am UTC (link)
	Maybe I just need to get some time to get used to it too. None taken. I can't really imagine what it would be like to wake up as a different gender but I'm guessing it would be pretty jarring. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sarah_sully 2024-03-19 10:17 am UTC (link)
	The things that happen like that are few and far between, so you should have a chance to get used to them, I think. It was really weird. My husband took pity on me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cal_kestis 2024-03-19 05:20 pm UTC (link)
	I'm sure I'll find out whenever it happens. Hopefully you won't have to deal with that same problem again. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sarah_sully 2024-03-20 05:58 am UTC (link)
	I hope you're at least a spectator for your first time. I'm not that lucky. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cal_kestis 2024-03-20 07:46 am UTC (link)
	So these events don't just effect everyone? Are they random? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sarah_sully 2024-03-20 10:08 am UTC (link)
	Sometimes they do, but it's rare that they do. Even when they do it's not everyone, sometimes one or two people are left out of the fray. And I haven't seen a pattern with any of them so they have to be random. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cal_kestis 2024-03-20 11:56 am UTC (link)
	You've been really helpful. I'm grateful, so thank you. Is there anything else you think I should know about this place? Or anything you'd like to ask me? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sarah_sully 2024-03-21 08:25 am UTC (link)
	I'm glad I could help. There's a farm up in the biodome at wheel one end, and wheel five is... well, don't go there alone. It's wild and there are creatures there that you've never seen before, and probably some you have. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cal_kestis 2024-03-21 09:43 am UTC (link)
	Do these creatures leave Wheel 5 at all or do they stay there? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sarah_sully 2024-03-22 04:26 am UTC (link)
	They stay there unless someone goes in and mindful of whether or not they're being followed when they leave. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cal_kestis 2024-03-22 09:10 pm UTC (link)
	Okay, I'll try to remember that. Thanks for letting me know. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sarah_sully 2024-03-23 07:35 am UTC (link)
	No problem, if you need anything else don't hesitate to ask. (Reply to this) (Parent)
