You think that's safe?

Oh, you don't- we can't be from the same place, then.

~~They're I'm~~ ~~Might as well be honest~~

I am, actually. That is to say- I was human, I was born a human and grew up on Earth and I had a normal job and a normal life, but then ~~I went on a pub crawl~~- it sounds completely ridiculous, and I didn't even believe it myself at first- ~~that's probably how they got me~~

Shit. I was sort of- I don't know, the Network took my DNA, destroyed my human body, and transferred my- mind and memories and DNA into what they considered something superior. I don't get sick, I don't think I can die, I'm not sure if I'll age, I don't think so.

Anyway. Blank, I suppose, because it's a bit like a blank canvas, a fresh start. All your human "imperfections" are "fixed."

I didn't choose it, it just- happened. Once they have your DNA, that's it.

Jesus, I sound mental.

	After appearing in this place? No, you don't sound mental at all. DNA is something I understand. The thing I'm struggling with is getting my head around things like magic. But maybe that's just a new area of physics. Or as Izzy said a pocket universe. Everything is a bit head breaking. But you've got an interesting story there. Do you feel any different?

Fair point, yeah.

Magic? Hmm. Strange indeed. How long have you been here?

Interesting, I suppose. Umm- emotionally, mentally- no. I did a little bit at first, but once the Network left and I was no longer influenced by it, then no. I just felt like myself again.

Physically, I do feel different, it's taken some getting used to. But I suppose different in a good way. Stronger.

	Interesting. Are you more like a robot then? Or are you alive? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Izzy/Tom/Oliver blankoliver 2013-07-26 09:35 pm UTC (link)
	I'm not a robot. I'm alive. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Izzy/Tom/Oliver notaskxawng 2013-07-26 09:50 pm UTC (link)
	So you've got a heart and blood, yeah? (OOC: And Marie failed!) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Izzy/Tom/Oliver blankoliver 2013-07-26 09:54 pm UTC (link)
	Is that what defines being alive? Well, I have blood- it's blue, but it's blood. I don't have a heartbeat- (Ooc- I'm making assumptions, correct me if you noticed something in the movie that I didn't, need to see it again!!) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Izzy/Tom/Oliver notaskxawng 2013-07-27 07:19 pm UTC (link)
	There are a few factors that define whether you are alive or not. Like a metabolism or growing and aging. The ability to reproduce is important as well or to adept to the environment. (Ooc - hmm, I don't know, I more saw it as maschine oil. I could definitely see Oliver thinking of it as blood. :-)) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Izzy/Tom/Oliver blankoliver 2013-07-27 07:30 pm UTC (link)
	I don't know if I will grow or age. I don't know if I can reproduce. I doubt it, actually. Shit. Maybe I don't know if I'm alive. Never thought I'd be saying that. (Ooc- oh yes, I think so too, I meant more about the heartbeat.) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Izzy/Tom/Oliver notaskxawng 2013-07-27 07:44 pm UTC (link)
	I mean you are obviously an individuum if that helps. Um, could I maybe like a few samples? (Ooc- oh, of course! No idea but they don't seem to have a heart so I doubt whatever they have could be described as a heartbeat. And I want to whack Tom's head, btw. See Oliver as a person, Tom. Not an interesting science object!) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Izzy/Tom/Oliver blankoliver 2013-07-27 08:39 pm UTC (link)
	I suppose, yeah. I know my own mind, I'm not being controlled by anything. What sort of samples? ~~I don't want to be experimented on~~ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Izzy/Tom/Oliver notaskxawng 2013-07-27 09:33 pm UTC (link)
	Umm, just blood samples. Check if you have a heartbeat. Do a scan of your body maybe? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Izzy/Tom/Oliver blankoliver 2013-07-27 09:57 pm UTC (link)
	I don't know if you'll be able to get blood, but I suppose you could try. Why, though? Just curiosity? ~~I could use some answers~~ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Izzy/Tom/Oliver notaskxawng 2013-07-28 08:32 am UTC (link)
	Yeah. The knowledge might help, both the people here and you as well. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Izzy/Tom/Oliver blankoliver 2013-07-28 09:19 am UTC (link)
	Some answers could be good. But I don't want this to happen to anyone else. Don't use it as a cure. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Izzy/Tom/Oliver notaskxawng 2013-07-28 11:48 am UTC (link)
	I'm no doc, you know. But if you understand nature better or physics, it'll help. It can get you inspiration for new models and technology. Might even help us figuring out how you got here. One never knows. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Izzy/Tom/Oliver blankoliver 2013-07-28 02:26 pm UTC (link)
	I don't know. If its for your own interest I don't mind, I'm just- I don't know that it's good technology. It shouldn't have happened. It's alien. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Izzy/Tom/Oliver blacktwin 2013-07-28 06:45 pm UTC (link)
	We are alien. It's a matter of perspective. And I don't think there is a good or bad technology. There's technology and then there are the things you do with it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

That's what I mean. I don't know what you want to do with it. I just don't want anyone else to die. Or to be turned into this, or whatever. They said it was a good thing, a gift- it's not, it's not a gift, I'm just afraid of what could happen, to other people, if the technology is explored and someone decides to use it in a medical field. I know you said you're not a doctor, but it all starts in a lab somewhere.

I suppose what I mean- if you want to look, just for your own interest in science, sure. If you would plan to do it to anyone else, I don't think you should.

	I promise, my intentions are not to cause any harm. I'm not a medic. I just want to figure out how this place works and see if I can find patterns that explain why we are here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Izzy/Tom/Oliver blankoliver 2013-07-31 05:44 pm UTC (link)
	Okay then. You can take samples if you want. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Izzy/Tom/Oliver notaskxawng 2013-08-06 09:33 am UTC (link)
	That's great. Thank you. (Reply to this) (Parent)
