Is this quiet permanent? It's a little unnerving.

[ He means the literal quiet from the engines powering down, not the metaphorical quiet from the absence of overt disaster. The metaphorical quiet can stay. ]

Assuming that's what we're doing.

And if we are, we don't even know from what. Did they ever figure out who it was?

[overdraws]

not that i know of
is there any way to tell if someone's following us at all?

[technologist]

We've never tried, so I'm not sure what we've got access to. Maybe via comms, if nothing else.

But if the points of contact were a month or more apart, I'd think there's some following involved.

[overdraws]

there might be a way to back through the network and check and see if the contact there were between multiple jumps? that's where some of the contact happened, right?

[technologist]

I think the passengers were contacted directly, but there were at least two reports on the network.

[ And after a delay to check: ]

Yeah. Either they've got one hell of a range on their equipment or they've managed to follow us between jumps.

[overdraws]

awesome.

[ Meant in that way that it is totally not awesome. ]

so the ship went into stealth mode, presumably, to hide us from whatever's following us.
here's hoping they don't find us.

[technologist]

Don't know if I'd jump to that conclusion, necessarily. For all we know it's a rescue.

[ Doubtful, but also screw this ship tbh. ]

[overdraws]

considering everything else this place has thrown at us, do you really think we're lucky enough for a rescue?

[ It's an honest question. She wants to believe!! ]

[technologist]

Well, we are on a ship capable of abducting people from different times and dimensions. I'd say anything's possible, really.

[ Have some vague semi-belief ?? super comforting. ]

[ BETTER THAN NOTHING?? ]

that's good? i think
