[Welcome to a lovely shot of Rebecca, who adjusts the camera gently. Something quite amiss in the picture is her usual set of heavy duty earphones, a change she's evidently not used to herself with how she keeps touching her ear. But other notable things in frame include how she's taken scissors to her scrub-top and cut it into a darkish-dyed cropped tank top. She's still working on the rest of the outfit, but individuality despite circumstances is a Thing.]

So, hey. Hope you guys are adjusting. Not sure I am, but that's not the point.

Got a few ideas, actually! One, if you haven't already, go get your slammer welcome pack. It includes rations, which might be new to you. Not the most inspiring hand out nor is it really all that much, but to cure that I thought I'd see if anyone wanted to throw in together. A potato by itself's kinda sad, but if ten or so people toss theirs in we might be able to make some pretty rad potato dish instead. Mashed? Boiled. Whoooa, sky's the limit here. [Purposely overacting that part.]

And if you know any cool ways to cook up dishes with the few things we've got, I'll field recipes too. Plain rice by itself is going to get old real quick, mark my words.

Hey, just checking in. Been taking a bit of a walk actually, who else has done the same?

[This video feed is sent out a little later on than her first with a locale change; switching to her hand on a chain link fence the camera takes in a brief shot of the farm area outside.] Those totally look like chickens way over there. And I don't know what's being grown, but I'm nosy and curious. I was wondering if anyone wanted to go investigate that side of the fence later. I'd hop it now but it seems smarter to at least have someone give me a boost. [Or you know, be around in case those are alien, people-eating chickens instead.]

I'm not going to steal any birds though, you carnivores can do that much yourselves. I'm more interested in their eggs. Aannd I filtered this to you guys because I didn't really wanna inspire people hopping fences to find surprises on the other side, y'know? Figured we should check things out first.

	Haha, well you're welcome to join in. Lacus is an ace in the kitchen. I haven't uh, heard from Kitty lately-- you and her okay? [This is the last of her checking up on her besties, she knows Garcia's alright.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-05-30 08:44 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, we're fine. She's still in Defense Force mode... plenty of things to think about. [ There's a noticeable beat of hesitation here. So maybe he's worked something out and isn't entirely sure how to go about it. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I guess that's good. Can't be too careful in new worlds and all that. Don't let her tire herself out though. Fearless leaders need their breaks. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'll try, but I don't think I'm really the right person for the job. [ Work-a-holic, the both of them. ] Are you okay? I mean... aside from organizing the cooking brigade. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2013-05-30 11:45 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah. Plotting a little mischief, maybe. But old habits die hard. [She really misses fence climbing, she just realized.] And missing my tech hardcore. You don't think our stuff's totally submerged back at the other dome, do you? [Nose scrunch.] That'd bite. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-05-31 10:58 am UTC (link)
	I hope not... I'd really rather not recreate all that a third time. [ So much work... ] I'd like to say that I'm sure they'll bring us back there, but... who knows? This does feel like a temporary stop, but that doesn't mean they won't ship us off to another dome. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Rebecca hums for a second.] What do you think happened to all those inmates from Sector six? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-06-01 12:45 pm UTC (link)
	Maybe they were sent somewhere else... there's nothing to keep them from us here, after all. The whole dome seems smaller. [ Haven't gotten around to doing the calculations yet, but we'll get there. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2013-06-01 11:17 pm UTC (link)
	Which means... a lot more domes, huh. [Feeling the "universe" expand is surreal.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-06-02 11:37 am UTC (link)
	They did say something about that after the transfer, but this certainly confirms it. There's really no telling how big this actually is. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2013-06-02 04:38 pm UTC (link)
	I wish we met the inmates from here. To see if they were the same as us. [In comparison to the non-conversational types of Sector 6, for example. To make sure they didn't actually know them personally, too.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-06-02 05:15 pm UTC (link)
	You think it was inhabited before we arrived..? [ Sure, the crops would point in that direction... but where did the other inmates go in that case? ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2013-06-02 09:38 pm UTC (link)
	[She's quiet, then.] It'd be scarier to think that there are empty prisons waiting to be filled up. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-06-02 10:27 pm UTC (link)
	Seeing how much space we still had left over in MarinaNova... [ Filling up every four days. ] Isn't it better that they're empty? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

We know of at least three domes. We were the third generation in the one with Sentience and Acumen. The first with Veri and Consci. That means that was a new prison, or its first run. If we're going to assume this one is as well, that could mean a new phase to a plan? Expansion. Why else would there be so many, besides back up uses? We don't even know where the other inmates went.

We're the latest bunch of guinea pigs and aside from being part of a nature vs nurture science experiment, I don't think our lives as 'criminals' are so valuable to our captors as to have this many prisons available for us to hop to in case of emergency.

[ Nodding. ] You're right about that... we also need to take into account that the first dome — the one with Sentience — didn't have any inmates aside from us, unlike MarinaNova that also hosts the ones in Sector 6. Are they a new addition or did they come from a different facility, originally?

There are a lot of questions... [ More than she might realize and seeing as she was the one who brought up the body storage way back when... ] Hey, uh... Rebecca? Can I trust you to keep a secret?

	thisiscalm 2013-06-04 08:18 pm UTC (link)
	Think back to the coup, when we first woke up in the dome... wasn't that the same kind of feeling? The sort of... tingly sensation, as if your skin had fallen asleep. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2013-06-05 07:05 am UTC (link)
	[And that sends a small chill through her as she recalls.] ... Yeah. That feeling, it's kinda like that isn't it. Disorienting a bit. But this time there are real changes. I don't get that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Me neither... and back then, it looked like we were still in the prison. Everything was where it was supposed to be, right? Then again, it was dark. We didn't exactly have that much time to take a closer look.

Then there's the body storage... everyone who's been in the dome, but isn't anymore. Add that to the people who was in the dome but didn't join Sentience — they were sleeping in their beds but couldn't be woken up. We were the only ones awake.

	[She frowns, but nods.] So, what? You think we were in two domes at once? Or like. [Her expression suddenly drops.] ... We really woke up? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ A short, tense nod. Nailed it in one. ] I think we've been asleep this whole time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Excuse Rebecca while she's silent for a few beats, a little gutted by that idea. It's not actually an unfamiliar idea, but she never thought it would apply to her. Animus exhausted individuals often suffered the bleeding effect, memories overlapping and making reality hard to distinguish. But to have her reality challenged? Well shit.]

I... [She sighs.] Why would they do that. [She blinks, thinking on it.] Security?
