This is Gaheris Rhade and I've returned from a brief scouting expedition- [and he adds because Dylan had announced his alone-time.] -after unexpected delay. [Unexpected delays being a lot on his mind and curiosity about anything remotely dangerous.] Does anyone know anything about the body of water that used to be where the Wasteland now is?

I can't determine much. [Other than there was a dome in the middle of it. A lit dome. And he highly suspects it's the cause of that body of water being gone.]

Perhaps this is a very typical inquiry, but what have I missed?


*OOC: I need a way to break off the end of a boneblade for Loki's plot and am open to ideas, accidental and purposeful for ingredients.

[the Doctor's voice is visibly relieved] Oh, thank goodness.

[and then his tone immediately shifts to concerned] He did find you, I hope?

Yes. We're both unharmed.

Not that there's a lack of things that can harm someone out there, but I didn't go out of my way to confront any of them. [He has good ears and he put them to use this time.]

I believe they drained the water out of a lake. Out of the entire area.

[and the grin is back] I'm glad to hear it. Though I would love to know what's wandering round out there, in safer circumstances.

[Private]

[and his expression turns thoughtful] Well. That's either selfish or ruthless. Both, probably.

[And his is determined. This sort of behavior makes a mockery of his beliefs.] Ruthless and selfish and nowhere near enlightened. They're destroying the world that they live on for temporary gain rather than permanent security. Weakening themselves to only exist in their carefully constructed environment while they destroy the outer one.

[the Doctor's nod is intent] It's appallingly short-sighted - which I've certainly seen enough of, in my travels. Unless, of course, they don't need this world much longer.

[with a faint scowl] In which case, it's simply...callous. [his scowl twists in a sharp, weary smile] I've seen quite a lot of that as well.

Do you believe they could be developing FTL travel? [That is a theory as to why they would no longer care about the environmental consequences.]
