Good morning, children! Did you have a nice jump? No, me either. Anyone else feel like they were being watched this time, or I am being especially paranoid?

Here's your regular information dissemination. New arrivals should find it especially informative, though there are a few of you who've been here much too long without reading this.

[Edgeworth's voice is quiet.]

Feelings of being watched are a psychological phenomenon.

audio;

[suddenlycaptain]

I felt it.

[ beat. ]

We shouldn't have been able to feel anything like that.

audio;

[cargojet]

[ Huh. Weird. ]

Isn't space fun? You know if we all felt it, could be there was something behind it. Something in the chemicals again?

[ex_inventive578]

There's two hundred pairs of eyes on this ship, and that's just counting the humanoids.

[voice]

[coffeeking]

So you felt it too. Not a coincidence, I think.

[Ianto Jones: skills include keen attention to detail, coffee-making, shooting guns, and deconstructing Miles Edgeworth's avoidance tactics.]

[coffeeking]

No, we shouldn't. Not in stasis.

audio;

[coffeeking]

Something in the chemicals to make us hallucinate, or to bring us just far enough to consciousness to be aware of something really watching us?

video.

[coffeeking]

None of whom should have been out and about during a jump. Not to mention we shouldn't have been conscious enough to notice, if there was really someone there. Nor should we be hallucinating, much less having the same mass hallucination.

audio;

[cargojet]

I'm not a doctor, but it'd be the first place I'd look. Could be we're naturally that aware and there's something to it, but it'd be nice to eliminate mass hallucinations, right?

audio;

[coffeeking]

...You know, I hate to say this, but I'm not sure how much confidence I have in our current medical staff. Maybe Simon.

[voice]

[jurisimpudent]

I - did not say that, sir.

[voice]

[coffeeking]

Are you denying you did, then?

[voice]

[jurisimpudent]

I'm not - commenting on whether or not I did. I'm just saying that the feeling of being watched generally stems from other, psychological causes, not indeed from being watched.

[voice]

[coffeeking]

So you're going with the mass hallucination theory.

[voice]

[jurisimpudent]

I - No. I'm not going with any theory. I don't think there's even been enough evidence to justify theories.

[voice]

[coffeeking]

[He gives Edgeworth a doubtful look.]

How long have you been on this ship? More than one person experiences anything, it's well past time to start developing theories.

[voice]

[jurisimpudent]

Just...Evidence. We cannot act rashly, or indeed even think rashly. It's - irresponsible.

audio;

[cargojet]

I'd prefer to think of it in terms of there being one or two bad eggs in the bunch rather than one good one. Last thing we need is to blow confidence in our medical team when they might be holding our lives in their hands at some point.

[ Gee Ianto if you'd encrypted it we could have discussed this stuff. ]

audio;

[coffeeking]

All I'm saying is, some of them seem to be more the research type than the strictly saving people type.

[Put very kindly.]

[Look, it's encrypted now, you wuss.]

Then again, I'm also saying I'm pretty sure half those blokes don't have a real medical license.

[voice]

[coffeeking]

There's nothing rash about idle speculation. We're not arming people against an invisible threat, Edgeworth.

[voice]

[jurisimpudent]

You're coming to a sort of conclusion.

audio; - > audio; encrypted

[cargojet]

It's the research type I was thinking might shine, at least regarding this.

[ Encrypted ]

You've got a good point. How do you even know I'm a real Senator?

audio; - > audio; encrypted

[coffeeking]

Might as well give it a go and see what they find.

[encrypted]

Actually, I always assumed you were really a crazy homeless man with delusions of grandeur.

audio; - > audio; encrypted

[cargojet]

I'll work out how to suggest it without sounding like I'm trying to do their job for them.

[encrypted]

Ouch. Although to be honest, I think people around here would have a heartattack if they were back at home. Billboards, buses with my face on them--might think they were in the Twilight Zone. Or they could go home with you, that would be fun, right? Crazy homeless guys with delusions of grandeur is sorta your deal, isn't it?

Don't listen to the Doctor. He doesn't put enough stock in feelings. [ bad feelings, good feelings, intuition, superstition. They touched on it recently. ] I'm with you on this one, especially given recent events. [ smiley. ]
