What's this planet like? Do we need to worry about toxicity from the soil or atmosphere?

	Well... not to my knowledge, at least...! I mean, I've been eating fruits and veggies out of this earth, and of course I'm not sick... Save maybe of this stupid island, that is to say! Hah... Sorry, ma'am... I'm just-- so sick of this stupid island, rather. Why do you ask, anyway's? Do you suspect that the soil could be toxic, for some reasons? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	And you're all unmodified humans, genetically speaking? Given the history of how my planet was settled and what we Graysons have had to live with, that's something I always like to know whenever I'm dirtside. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Graysons...? Sorry, but -- what ARE Graysons? As for the question of whether I'm a genetically unmodified human -- well, yes, I think so...! I mean, you're talking about the likes of Sellafield, Cumberland's fallout upon the general population, aren't you...? No, nothing like that affected me or mine parents...!

	No, I mean nobody went and modified your DNA or that of your ancestors? But I get what you're saying. Graysons are what people from the Protectorate of Grayson call ourselves. It's a nationality. Our founders had to modify their DNA in order to be more resistant to heavy metal poisoning. The idiots smashed all the cryo gear you see, they couldn't leave. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	It seems to be like earth. But overall it's hard to tell. There could be toxicity in ways we can't meassure yet. There is still a lot of research to do. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I was more worried about obvious toxicity but I'm glad someone is looking into it. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	No-one really seems to know what planet it is, other than it isn't their own. And something must've built this place, but it seems to be pretty deserted, so yeah, who knows what killed them off. You're new around here too? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	browneyedwolf 2013-08-10 07:14 am UTC (link)
	Yes I just arrived yesterday. I'm Abigail Hearns, you are? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Juliet Winters. I just arrived last weekend. Still finding my way around, but most are pretty helpful. Where are you from? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	browneyedwolf 2013-08-10 08:57 am UTC (link)
	Pleased to meet you Juliet. That's good information to know about the people. I'm originally from Grayson, in the Yeltsin system. I was currently serving aboard HMS Tristam before I arrived here though, and we were pretty far from home. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	So, I'm guessing you're talking about spaceships, and star systems? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	browneyedwolf 2013-08-11 08:48 am UTC (link)
	Got it in one. In my time humanity had spread beyond the ancient mother world nearly two thousand years ago, and faster than light travel has been around about seven centuries. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Wow, that's almost scary! Well no, to be honest it's bloody terrifying! And exciting! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	browneyedwolf 2013-08-11 09:19 am UTC (link)
	Why would it be terrifying? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	winters__heat 2013-08-11 09:38 am UTC (link)
	Going that fast? I mean, yeah, OK, not likely to run into too many walls, or other spaceships, but what about meteorites, and space junk? Wouldn't that make a mess of the ship? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	browneyedwolf 2013-08-11 10:29 am UTC (link)
	Ships have particle shielding, and 'space junk' usually gets taken back to industrial plants and reprocessed. But you aren't going at anything close to light speeds inside the hyper limit of a star system. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	winters__heat 2013-08-11 11:52 am UTC (link)
	The hyper what? Wait, before you answer, want to meet for a coffee, or lunch and talk? I need to eat, and it's easier to listen face to face! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	browneyedwolf 2013-08-11 12:25 pm UTC (link)
	Sounds good to me, where do you want to meet? Also if you've found where to get clothes around here can you show me afterward? All I have are my uniforms and skinsuit. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	winters__heat 2013-08-11 12:39 pm UTC (link)
	Sure, I need to get some more, only have my backpack and it didn't have a whole lot of clothes in it. What if I meet you at the diner in 10? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	browneyedwolf 2013-08-11 12:58 pm UTC (link)
	Works for me. (Ooc: I can put the scene up while you get sack time if you want) (Reply to this) (Parent)
