the orient express

Are you fucking serious?

Really?

Really?

Now??? Son of a bitch!

[Some time later]

That reader thing that was in my room? I need a new one. It broke. And the light fixture. That too. And...I need another pillow.

And who the hell is Hal York and why is his name on my damn door?

See the train locked everyone out again. Whole big barrel of laughs that thing, right?

I'm still at the hotel, we got the generator running nice just in time looks like. Think I'll stay and make sure it don't burst something while there's people staying.

'Least it we already know where the hotel's at this time, huh Simon? Think you'll keep wandering town a bit longer?

River if you want to come hang with me, it's mostly quiet on the lowest floor, there ain't a lot of people around it being for maintenance and such. So long as we're not too near the generator room, that thing sounds like it's gonna lift off pretty soon it's so loud.

Hello.

For those of you who haven't met me yet, my name is Simon Tam. I'm one of the doctors on board the train.

I'm not really sure how

Yesterday, we found several syringes in the infirm converted dining car. Myself and the other doctors did our best to determine what the contents were, and as close as we can guess, they're some sort of vaccination. We don't actually know what it's a vaccination against or if that's even or if that's even what they really are.

The syringes are labeled with the names of the passengers on board the train but a few were m and any of us can administer then if you're interested in taking them. I would like to emphasize that we do not know with complete certainty what the contents actually are. They did appear to be a standard immunization, but they did come from the train.

I am not taking any professional stance for or against the vaccine, but I will administer them to anyone interested in taking theirs. It could be the train's way of preparing us for something coming up, or it could be something like what it's doing to us now. We don't know. We can't know.

We will be manning the dinin infirm tenth car, in the event there are side-effects, if anyone does decide to take theirs.

Private to those without syringes
[ this is filtered to any outable character that does not have a syringe. If yours has a placebo, they don't see this. 'cause they have a syringe]

Not everyone has a syringe. We're not sure why. Some of you have admitted to being something other than human, so if it actually is a vaccine against something, it stands to reason those of you without one just don't need it. But either way, if you're seeing this part of the message, the train didn't give you a syringe.

Private to Kaylee and River

I don't know what to tell you about this. I think some of it is paranoia, but I don't trust anything this train gives us. It's given us nothing but grief since we started, and I won't ... make you take them if you don't want to. I don't even know if I'm going to take mine yet.

If you decide to, that's all right and we'll keep an eye on you. Like we will for anyone that takes them.

Right, meant to post this yesterday, but the blasted thing wouldn't let me hit send, so. And then I sort of forgot about it

Ran into a bit of trouble in the observation car yesterday. It was like we were gassed, or something, and we started... well, hallucinating.

I don't know if it's contained to just that car or if it's spreading to the whole train, or if it was just a one time thing, but anyone else running into this problem? It faded quick enough but it... can't be healthy.

Simon? I found someone. If the conscious mind is an electromagnetic field, maybe he's taken himself to a better place.

I have a name now. It's River, and I'm glad to be found. Simon? I think we should have a tea party in the parlor car. Someone has decided to put on a show.

Where am I?

I've had enough of the mind games! If this is another illusion I swear I'll start tearing this place apart! I was just in a volcano, not a...what is this? A train?

Is anybody still out there? Ahsoka, Obi-Wan? This doesn't even feel like the same planet. I need some answers, now. Please?

I'm honestly expected to type on this ridiculous little keyboard? There has got to be a better way. Actually there is. It's called telepathy.

This makes no sense. I was in the shuttle I stole borrowed and now I'm...not. How did that happen?

Found a deck of cards if anyone's up for a game of poker.

Or Go Fish.
