Mantis took off. He read something about a Ginny Potter being hospitalised I refuse to believe it's the Ginny Potter, else I'm losing my mind and just.. left. He seemed very concerned.. To be honest, I'm shocked he's actually made those kinds of connections with people here. I mean, I only knew him while I was working on REX, but he never seemed capable of caring. One has to understand, of course, that those in FOXHOUND were a certain kind of people, and I've never met anyone as fundamentally damaged as Psycho Mantis. He's told me about a place called the Hyperion, here, and the people who live there, and how much like family they are to him. I-- I'm honestly shocked. They must be really special people.
I've been in and out of libraries since I got here, online doing research. I may have illegally created an identity for myself, appropriated funds, and hacked the FBI.. In my defense, I didn't have much choice. My eyes aren't focusing properly. Odd. Oh. When was the last time I slept? I'm not used to not having my CODEC available. I'm pretty sure it's on the fritz, though, as the technology's not actually available here. Something scrambled the signal, and now they're taking too much energy without anything to regulate them. I'm pretty sure I have a fever. I may have to cannibalise a computer to rig something up to help. Half of the parts I think I need I'm pretty sure don't actually exist.
Oh. The Twilight Zone is on in another room. It still sort of feels that way.
I don't really understand how people take this all in stride. It's very zen. I am not a very zen person. I am a mousy-looking, high-strung scientist with a lot of nervous habits. I guess it's sort of inevitable that I'd react to something like this with shock and curiousity and a necessity to know what in the world just happened.
And well, naturally, leaving Sunny and Dave behind has something to do with it all, as well.Have I eaten? Huh. No wonder I'm dizzy.
It's snowed. It isn't anything like Alaska, of course, but it still makes me homesick. it's still lovely.
