[Jean doesn't speak straight away. She starts, a few times, but the words die on her lips and her gaze falls to the hands twisting in her lap.

Finally, she speaks, soft and solemn.]


I was wondering if - anyone knew anything about the breaches, or had any theories. If the Admiral just created these people, these...families out of thin air, or...if they really exist, somewhere. If... [She swallows hard.] If they're different versions of the people we know.

I think some of them might. [ Maybe. She doesn't know if she likes it or not, not with how her story went in Bargewell ]

There were people in my life there that were from home. Or at least they had the same name.

Familiar? [ She's not going to pry, and not just because Emma doesn't really want to talk about Bargewell ] Maybe making familiar people is easier. It's magic, so... [ And also trailing off because she knows jack about magic. Or he could just be screwing with them ]

Unless anyone else has a different story it sounds likely.

Are you okay?

Maybe it'll fade. [ She hopes it'll fade, at least for her, anyway ] I wouldn't mind forgetting this.

You- Were you trapped? In there. [ She doesn't really want to be any more specific :\ Emma had known enough about what was going on with the experiments then to know that it existed, and to ask if that's what this girl meant ]

There's very little evidence to know with any certainty, but I can say that there has been at least one dimensional leak where the alternate self I turned into was quite real. I'd met him before, away from the Barge. I suspect that all of the people we turn into and those we encounter are real within the alternate universe the Barge brushed up against.
timesbureaucrat: (contemplative)

[personal profile] timesbureaucrat 2013-01-23 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
In this breach or the one I met away from the Barge?

In this breach my alternate self was a very normal human. He worried about taxes and home repair and other than the fact that he worked at Region 10, he lived a very average life.

[He doesn't immediately volunteer information about the other self he met away from the Barge, on that alternate Gallifrey. The one he later became during one particularly unpleasant flood. He's not sure what to say about *that* Narvin.]

He was an administrator. He wasn't directly involved in any of the dirtier work, so he found it easy to ignore or justify. Most of the time.
timesbureaucrat: (head tilt)

[personal profile] timesbureaucrat 2013-01-23 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
Quite.

He was an unhappy man and a coward and I'm quite content to put that person well behind me.

And what of your experiences there?

God I hope not.

[personal profile] onceandfutureprat 2013-01-23 02:23 am (UTC)(link)
I'd rather hear about yours.

Is that necessary for an easy life?

[A year ago, Arthur might have said something different.] It shouldn't be that way.

What's the practical difference?

It's not that far-fetched.

You sure you wanna know?

[Some evidence says they're real - namely, that people have been left behind in them before. Barge comes out - but they don't.]
