What the hell happened back there?

[Even without any video feed to give an idea of her expression, Ashley's obviously agitated, and three days in what is apparently an entirely new timestream hasn't done anything to help things make sense.]

Not the basics - I get it. Most of you were off time traveling. But where? How scattered were we all? What started it? Did everyone make it back, or are we still missing people?

[She already knows "back in one piece" is too much to ask for.]

I don't know about anyone else, but I really don't want to be caught with my pants down next time.

Some kind of Limbo, I think. I was there the whole time, and I still can't figure it out.

[Briar's jaw drops, and he looks at Ashley with horror]

You...you were there the whole time?! Lakik's teeth, that would be horrible!

[Ashley shrugs, which hitches the video a little, since she has the communicator in her hand.]

I've been through worse.

[Blatant lies ahoy.]

[growingwild]

Remind me to never ask about your 'worse'. I don't think I'd want to know.

[Briar half wonders if she's lying, but he's not really sure. Either way, just thinking about Nowhere is enough to make him look throughly miserable]

I don't ever want to be anywhere like that again.

I can't blame you. I'm pretty sure it's the textbook definition of unwelcoming.

[video]

[growingwild]

You can say that again.

Isn't there anyone out there who knows how to figure out all...this? [Briar waves an arm around, as if to indicate 'everything ever'] Aren't they're people who spend all their time on that ship? Haven't they got a clue about all this?

[video]

[evervarying]

I haven't had a chance to ask. That's kind of the point of this - if anyone has a clue, they'll either speak up, or they're playing their cards close to their chests.

[growingwild]

If anyone says anything, let us know, will you? Wish I could help more, but...[Briar shrugged, and waved a hand] All this is so far out of what I know it's scary.
