What made you believe this? That we're where they said we are instead of it being a dream?

( Or worse, though Claire's ideas of worse would probably not match up to anyone else's. That said Claire can't say that she really took in too much of what was being said to her, so she does need the confirmation )

What did you do? Or want to do?

( Because she doesn't know, not yet. There was considering going out from the Dollhouse and trying to find something but to end up in another world entirely? She doesn't know where to begin )

I've been here for over a year. Kinda doubt a dream could be that vivid for that long.

And I cooperated. Although now it's more like a waiting game.

[polyphobic]

Why is it different now?

[soldiergenes]

Did you just get here recently?

[ That would answer Snake's question of whether or not people are going to keep trickling in with no idea what was going on. ]

[polyphobic]

Yes.

[soldiergenes]

Where did you come through?

[polyphobic]

They said I'm in the Ingress Complex.

[soldiergenes]

[ Well, that would make sense, wouldn't it? ]

It's been happening for a while now, but before we were all on a spaceship called the Moira. It crashed about a month ago and now we're stuck on this planet waiting for the people here to figure out how to get us back.

[polyphobic]

( So many questions. Not sure if she wants to believe )

Were you on the ship for the year?

[soldiergenes]

Yeah. A lot of people arrived here more recently, though, same as you.

[polyphobic]

Why are we being brought here? You said you cooperated. With what, coming?

[soldiergenes]

The Ingress technology that brought you in has been malfunctioning and no one seems to know how to stop it.

When we were on the ship, we all had to work toward keeping it running until we reached our destination. Which, I guess, is this place.

[polyphobic]

So we're just supposed to sit and wait until they figure this out, while all the time more people will come here?

[soldiergenes]

That's about the size of it.

[polyphobic]

That isn't right. Any of it.

[soldiergenes]

Yeah, you're preaching to the choir there.

[polyphobic]

Do they just expect that everyone will sit and wait? Cooperate?

[soldiergenes]

That's the size of it.

[polyphobic]

What if someone didn't? If there's enough people here not everyone would be likely to just sit and wait.

[soldiergenes]

What's your plan, then?

[polyphobic]

I don't have one.
I'm just asking what they do.

[soldiergenes]

People have decided to head out on their own before and take their chances. No idea what happened to them, though.

[ Which is a bad sign, he's guessing. ]

Are you experienced in space travel?

[polyphobic]

No. Space travel isn't a common occurrence.

[soldiergenes]

It is for some. The Ingress can take people from different times and different universes.

[polyphobic]

So some people would be familiar with all of this?
Are you?

[soldiergenes]

No, not before I got here. It was an adjustment. You'll get there.
