[It's a slightly harried looking Wing who appears on the communicator. He doesn't look injured, just...stressed out, his gold optics dim and tarnished-looking.]

H-has anyone else seen Dr. Liara T'Soni?  I mean recently?  I swore I saw her. But...[He looks around, almost on edge, and the camera moves to show that Wing's in a dead-end corridor. He's chased what he thought was her--and was definitely something--down here.] But, well, you can see. 

If she's here, she

needs our help.

[There's a brief, tense moment while Wing checks his fuel gauge. No, still all right.]

Do you know what caused those things? In your world?

[gtfostalker]

I do; there were psychic experiments, to try to control a field that covered the world. They failed, and within a certain radius all of physics went crazy.

That sort of trap - the time one - is practically mild, compared to others.

[knightoflight]

Hmmm. That sounds...almost like what the Authorities might have tried.

But why would they set them in the ship? [He's musing aloud.]

[gtfostalker]

In the Zone, it was an accident. It might have been an accident with the Authorities too.

I do not know that such things could occur intentionally. [He sure hopes not.]

[knightoflight]

[Wing nods, looking at the ship around them.]

You're right. We don't even know how this ship crashed, after all. This may have something to do with that.

[gtfostalker]

It would be better if it was an accident; I do not think someone having the power to do that would be good for anyone.

Perhaps there are answers somewhere on the ship.

[knightoflight]

It's something we need to consider here. And get the scientists to consider as well.

[Because Wing will admit: he's not an expert in quantum theory.]

[gtfostalker]

Certainly get the scientists to look into it. They should enjoy trying to solve the puzzle, if there is time to think on it.

[Science isn't his strong suit either. He leaves it to eggheads.]

[knightoflight]

I hope they have the time. I'd rather that than have to deal with another attack or plague.

[gtfostalker]

Hopefully there will be a little luck on our side for a while then, da? A little peace before another storm.

[knightoflight]

Luck, but not too much that we forget the threat.

[gtfostalker]

It is difficult to forget the threat, when it is so close.

[That whole Domed City thing and all.]

[knightoflight]

We've let our guards down before, or gotten distracted.

[And Wing's let his own monitoring of the dome slide. ]

[gtfostalker]

Well. Hopefully we do not become so distracted this time.

[At least not distracted enough to forgot that they have a problem sitting so close by.]
