[The username reads as 'Bismarck.' The picture is of a nondescript piece of purple-painted metal. Is there a pattern here with the previous post? Huh, he didn't notice.]

Tell me a little about your world?

Well that's interesting. At least there are people with good humor here.

Is the alcohol any good though?

It is my understanding that the local human opinion on this matter is generally positive!

[sightsset]

So are there a lot of different non-human species here, then?

[beautifulspaceraptor]

Savrou is predominantly non-human, although humans seems to luck out a lot more being involuntarily pulled through the Ingress for whatever reason.

Do they tend to give non-humans trouble for it? I've met one other species back home, but I imagine there are plenty who've never met any.

They tend to give non-natives trouble, not humans specifically. There's been escalating tension between the people who've been pulled here and the locals.

Matters got more complicated recently when a non-native broke in and activated a portal to a slaver world.

I was was originally part of the starship Moira, a vessel carrying one of the Ingress portals onboard. All of the crew were extra-universe like you and I, asides from the Captains and several refugees. The Captains had been making their way to Savrou in hopes of getting answers for their Ingress' constant glitching and also to help crew members return to their home universe. Apparently, our arrival coincided with this Ingress' increased glitching, hence our unpopularity.

Anyways, asides from some slingshot cases, the issue of returning to our home universes hasn't really been resolved.

I've heard a lot about the Moira already. Seems it was pretty important to some of you who were on it.

And not going home probably won't be too huge a problem for me.

I worked as an engineer onboard. Honestly, it was an unreliable piece of garbage with the Ingress crapping out every other month, but I'm still pissed that it crashed after all that hard work trying to keep it running.

[ Seriously. 8 months of work down the drain. ]

You have a bad home universe situation too?

[sightsset]

Condolences for the lost work. Sounds like you really put yourself into it.

War, military life, it seems it's pretty universal quality across the board here. Let's just say I'm not gonna be gunning to run back into anybody's waiting arms.

It was that or we got turned into glass again. Or some other form of random, bizarre and horrible crisis.

[ Because that happened. ]

Well, if nothing else, staying in this universe is currently the only option anyways.
