Day 296 — Real MarinaNova — Exploring
[You have an adventurer's spirit, or maybe you're just following the crowd, whatever the case, you've left the central core behind.

What else is there to see and do and find? Hungry? Maybe you can find yourself a delicious pill to eat in the cafeteria. Or maybe you want to spend your time and energy breaking into a closet in the dormitory. Explore. Make some memories. You may even end up keeping them.

But how much longer do you think it will be before someone puts you back in those pods you so recklessly abandoned?]

(OOC: This mingle is for those who went through the doors only. The locale section will detail the areas you can explore. Please note that some areas specify barriers that would prevent exploration! The next one will be for encountering the engineers in their natural habitat. EVENT INFORMATION | REAL MARINANOVA INFORMATION.)

	Right. I thought the doors were something they had planned, but it couldn't have been. [Her brows draw in tight, frustrated.] So was this as accident, or was it orchestrated? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Good question. I've run into a few people here but no one seems quite sure. But given that there are some prisoners still in those pods it seems safe to say only those who went through doors woke up. Showing us something like this does seem deliberate but I don't know who would be behind it. Seems a bit beyond the reach of the giant squid. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[She cracks a small smile.] I would think so. A malfunction, then? Someone got through their system. One of us? [She's less certain about that. She feels alarm bells would have been going off if that were the case.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2014-11-17 07:40 pm UTC (link)
	I hope it was one of us but I suppose there's no way to be sure until we get back there. Or maybe there's some sort of third party we don't know about involved in all of this. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	carol_peletier 2014-11-19 09:06 pm UTC (link)
	I hadn't considered a third party. [She looks thoughtful.] Do you suppose it's possible? Could someone be trying to help us? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2014-11-19 09:53 pm UTC (link)
	I don't know. Maybe it's too much to hope for. Still, I can't think of any other explanation. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	carol_peletier 2014-11-22 07:42 pm UTC (link)
	[She nods.] Hope's an easy trap to fall into. There's always an agenda, a reason. If there is a third party, they're not acting for our benefit alone. I can't believe that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2014-11-23 12:24 pm UTC (link)
	I agree. I just hope we can use their actions to our benefit. [There's that word again. Hope.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	carol_peletier 2014-11-25 02:24 am UTC (link)
	[She hums an agreeable sound.] Are you part of this Defense Force I've been hearing about? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2014-11-26 12:46 pm UTC (link)
	The more academic side of it. I've never really been one for fieldwork. Ianto Jones, nice to meet you even under these circumstances. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	carol_peletier 2014-11-26 07:38 pm UTC (link)
	There's an academic side? I'm afraid I've heard some not so nice things about your group. [She smiles.] Carol. Likewise. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2014-11-28 07:13 pm UTC (link)
	Research is more my interest than, well, this sort of thing. [A glance around their surroundings to illustrate his point.] What sort of things have you heard? I promise not to be offended; I rather suspect we deserve then. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	carol_peletier 2014-11-28 07:55 pm UTC (link)
	I'm afraid the details were a bit vague. It was after I'd first arrived. Something about a vampire, and you overstepping your bounds. I got the impression something had happened - someone had caused some trouble? - and rather than let the wardens deal with it their way, the Defense Force took matters into their own hands. Not everyone was happy with that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Ianto actually goes a bit red and coughs, shifting awkwardly.] Ah, yes. I'm afraid I may have been the cause of that. Jack and Spike had been at odds with each other for some time and Spike attacked me out of retaliation. I suppose you could say things escalated from there, and ended with Spike's soul being returned. I'll be the first to agree with you its a morally complicated issue.

	carol_peletier 2014-11-30 10:03 pm UTC (link)
	Ah. Well, I'm no stranger to morally complicated. You do what you have to do. But, what you did, was it for you. Revenge. Or was it for the good of everyone? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Ianto smiles, a little sadly.] I'm afraid you'd have to ask Jack that. It was always more his fight than mine. But if I could guess I would say he'd tell you it was for the good of everyone, but I can't guarentee that was entirely the truth. There are... Complications, to put it delicately. I like to hope it's made things safe, sine he did Attack quite a lot of people towards the end, but I don't know if there might not have been a better way to handle things.

	[She nods, thoughtful.] There aren't always better ways. Sometimes better ways don't present themselves until it's too late. I suppose we can only do our best, and beg forgiveness. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2014-12-01 09:23 pm UTC (link)
	Ah yes, my attempts to apologize went over so very well with Spike. [Exceptionally dryly stated. He elaborates after a moment.] At home we tend to save people first and worry about moral implications later, if at all. That mentality hasn't really translated well here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sorry! I lost this one! :( carol_peletier 2014-12-14 05:27 am UTC (link)
	[Ah, yes. Moral implications.] Things are, usually, simpler where I'm from. There are no moral complications were walkers are concerned. That only becomes a problem when humans get involved. [God, has that become a problem.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2014-12-14 02:08 pm UTC (link)
	Walkers? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	carol_peletier 2014-12-15 05:13 am UTC (link)
	Zombies? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2014-12-15 07:46 pm UTC (link)
	Oh. I suppose that makes my aliens seem rather boring by comparison. It's not like one of those end of the world movies, is it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	carol_peletier 2014-12-16 03:28 am UTC (link)
	Not at all! [She smiles. How could aliens be boring?] I'm afraid it is quite a bit like that, actually. A full blown apocalypse. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2014-12-16 12:38 pm UTC (link)
	Those are never pleasant. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	carol_peletier 2014-12-18 10:37 pm UTC (link)
	No, not at all. [Curious about this response.] You have experience? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
