[ No video, here -- really, despite the obvious setbacks to this place, Wash has to say he prefers its communication devices to the seals. At least he's not hearing voices in his head anymore. (Aside from the normal ones, that is.) ]

So I'm wondering.

[ He's looked through the network, but for some reason, he can't seem to find an answer to what he thinks is a rather simple question. ]

Every few weeks, the ship makes a jump, and we go heading off somewhere else, right? Just making our way through this system.

The question is: why? Where exactly are we going? It's not like the ship's just driving itself.

[ ...At least, he hopes not. That business with the corridors was bad enough. ]

Anyone out there got an answer?

[ Medieval princess, +1. Excuse her while she fumbles with her device for a ridiculous amount of time before smoothing her hair in an attempt to not look half as frazzled as she truly is. ]

This is a ship, is it not? And all ships must have captains, even ones that are empty. Surely, he knows which harbor we're meant for.

[ lady do you not know how to work the thing or what. ]

Oh really. Then why isn't he around to tell us anything?

[ She's still wrapping her head around the whole 'electricity' thing. Hand-held communications devices. ]

A king is not held beholden to explain his rule to his people. I would assume a captain is much the same in matters involving his ship.

[ Whether this leads to the king losing his head or the captain having his throat slit in his sleep is another matter entirely. ]

[notmydiagnosis]

That's something we'd all like to know. [ Have an annoyed psychiatrist, also audio, and also slightly frustrated. ]

I've yet to see the captain and first officer.

[articletwelve]

Then I'm not the only one. [ unimpressed!! ] Just who's driving this thing?

voice;

[halves]

Actually, I wouldn't be surprised.

audio

[articletwelve]

Yeah? About what?

[halves]

About the ship driving itself.

video

[sermonize]

I do not believe we were ever told the destination.

audio

[articletwelve]

And what, nobody's bothered to find out?

audio

[sermonize]

People have tried with little success.

AUDIO;

[widowing]

No, but if Ward and Resnik ever make another appearance it's something that should be asked.

audio

[articletwelve]

That's starting to sound like a pretty big if.

[andblockbuster]

Alpha Centauri?

audio

[articletwelve]

[ oh it's you. Have a dry tone, entirely serious. ]

We're nowhere near Alpha Centauri.

audio

[andblockbuster]

We could be. I'm sure your brilliant guesses are just as good as my brilliant guesses.

[angerissues]

I'm starting to think there aren't any answers other than whoever brought us here just likes to fuck with us.

audio

[articletwelve]

At this rate, I can't really say I disagree.

permavideo on his side. /too lazy to change this every time

[angerissues]

Unless they're complete idiots or in denial, I don't think many people could.

[video]

[profligates]

Yes. These are indeed new questions being asked. [Rolls eyes.]

audio

[articletwelve]

Then we should already have answers.

audio

[profligates]

Yes. We do. [Not that he'll add anything else.]

[theshabbiestofmen]

I have to say, it doesn't seem like much of a mission if the crew doesn't even know where they're going. Have you been here long?

audio

[articletwelve]

About two months. Long enough we should already know this.

audio

[theshabbiestofmen]

What sort of information has been found already?
