[Is it possibly for a mental voice to sound giddy? Because there's a distinct giddy tinge to By's thoughts, for all that his words come out with his normal, lazy, lightly Russian-accented drawl.]

Byerly Vorrutyer here. We're on Earth, pre-spaceflight, although someone who isn't me will need to get a better read on the actual date and location. Linguistically, it's a hodgepodge. I can hear archaic Russian, a whole host of Asiatic and Romance languages, and something else I can't quite place.

If you can "hear" this, check in. We need to know who we've got to work with.

Joscelin Verreuil.

Something is not right here.

[Well, he sounds very sure about that. The fellow who fainted?]

What's wrong, Verreuil?

There's something here... something off. I saw it when I saw the city. But I don't know what, or why.

Is it a place you've been before? I'm assuming you're from some version of Earth. Most Travelers seem to be.

Nowhere like this. Well. I've been to the city below, I'd know La Serenissima at a glance. But nothing like this version of it.

And nowhere you've been on a Jaunt?

I...

It looks a little like Harrogate, and a little like Nibiru. No, I don't recognize it.

Huh. Odd.

Considering what happened before [the whole fainting thing, he's pretty sure that was you] maybe you might see if you can partner with one of others for this.

[In case you faint again.]

I'll take that under advisement.

[ Which isn't quite the same as 'no.' ]

Please do.

Hey. You got any thoughts on those balloons on the outskirts?

... What do you mean?

Something feels weird as hell to me about this place. Can't really place it yet, but I feel like it's something to do with that.

It feels like I've seen it before.

One person, I'd say it's a coincidence.

A pattern, though...

How many of us?

Four so far.

And I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that "interesting" might be LeBeau for "yeah, same here."

[he loves you remy, really]

You and I, Riddick, Liara, LeBeau...

You know what this means.

Well, I have to figure not remembering shit was going to seriously bite us in the ass sooner or later.

We have no way of knowing it hasn't before.

So. More than two years ago, for us, but less than four.

We don't, but I'm not getting that philosophical without a couple drinks in me.

Could be something new here entirely, could be that we didn't really finish last time...or could be someone didn't like how we finished last time and wants a redo.

Like the Solstice Walkabout, maybe.

We've been here before. More than two years ago.

Ah.

[Wonderful.]

So that's why you fainted?
