[It has been a few days since things have settled back into relative quiet, leaving behind only memories of those she has so recently encountered. Memories of having her daughter back. After the latest Spectavi broadcast, she's certain this has been simply another cruel trick of their overseers. Her message is simple, quiet; she doesn't have much else to say.]

Perhaps their goal truly is to torture us.

[Turning off the recording, she slips the communicator into her pocket, heading for the door. Perhaps a walk is in order.]

I've never trusted scientists to begin with. Here is no expectation.

[lifewithoutrest]

Whatever their intentions, I suspect it has little to do with science.

[crackpotcrocker]

One wonders their angles.

[lifewithoutrest]

Certainly. This had no purpose, no experimental value.

[crackpotcrocker]

Why not?

[lifewithoutrest]

What were they hoping to measure? Our tolerance?

[crackpotcrocker]

Well... I wouldn't put that pass so called scientists.

[lifewithoutrest]

There's little I would put past them. It's a mistake I won't be making again.

[crackpotcrocker]

What happened?

[lifewithoutrest]

My daughter. She was here. Briefly.

[crackpotcrocker]

.... I see... Akward silence.

[lifewithoutrest]

It was a cruel reminder.

[crackpotcrocker]

I can imagine. I was screaming for those fairies that had been here... Only thing I miss from my universe.

[lifewithoutrest]

I miss a great deal, but hers is a loss I feel there, as well.

[crackpotcrocker]

Can't say I miss much else.

.............I wouldn't know. Never got the chance to be a father.

[lifewithoutrest]

Perhaps that's just as well.

[She would never trade the experience of being a mother, loving her daughter. But she would also never wish the pain of losing a child onto another.]

[crackpotcrocker]

....Prehaps. Doesn't fill the void but I don't expect anything too.

[lifewithoutrest]

No. I imagine it doesn't.

[crackpotcrocker]

I should go. I have puzzles to contemplate. Yes.

[lifewithoutrest]

Of course.
