Author Notes:
A theory, maybe.
You head back out of Bunker D. You swipe your card for Bunker A. You pick up Baby Red.
"Mouse quiet," it says. "No talk. Only squeak."
You head back outside. You swipe the card for Bunker D. You enter Bunker D with the small red.
You ask Baby Red if it can connect to itself from here.
"Nope," it says. "Too far."
Michelle stares at it for a second... then at you... then back to the little red.
"How... how far are we?," Michelle finally asks. "Where are we?"
"Not Earth," it replies. It scrunches its little mouth up for a second, as though it were in deep consideration.
It finally finishes its thought.
"Mars?", it asks, before adding "too far."
...Though, given that our red friend here can seemingly figure out where the hell we are... maybe we should see what it'll think if we show it bunker C? I'm kinda curious.
Also, Baby Red you're adorable. I'm so happy you were trying to talk to a rat, that is the cutest thing XDDD
EDIT: Just thinking about this again and I'm enthralled. It's a space station. No wonder they're making oxygen; the surrealness factor has just multiplied unbelievably with this confirmation. A retired space station overgrown with yellow daisies and full of old technology is just... ah. <3 We really stumbled across some amazing stuff with this magical door, thank you Jury! XD;; But yes, all the theories with the blood being the discovery that caused all the hullabaloo - I'm going to guess it's right on the money.
Uh, I wonder if everyone is going to freak realising that we're, uh, on Mars? XD;;;
while we may want to leave some of our operation in bunker a, such as finch's lab and the connection to mom's red, actually living in this bunker makes the most sense.
Either this base has a gravity generator, or it has a gym for working in low-grav environments.
You have to keep pressure on your bones, or they start to... decay similar to how muscles decay. Which means they'd release a lot of their stored calcium into the body. That would not be very fun for anyone.
As a side-note, I just learned that Gravitational Waves and Gravity Waves are completely different structures. Gravitational waves are a strange theoretical mess, while Gravity waves are physical observations (like helium vs gravity, it bounces as it rises because gravity pulls it down, but buoyancy pulls it up)
All the comforts of home. ^_^
also omg bab red is the cutest. I feel bad for leaving it behind, guess it got bored... does it need us to leave something to entertain itself with next time we need to leave it alone somewhere?
Also, bab red must be adorned with flowers.
Too pure. Too innocent. If this was a darker series babs would die first. Or last, but it isn't the protagonist.
Personally, I'd prefer putting the bab red in bunker A rather than the looping room because really there's no good reason to make red that big. And if it's in A it'll be easier to get to and talk with red letting Dr finch use their alien knowledge assuming we set up base mostly in A.
I would argue sending someone through to the outside, wearing a hasmat suit, and carrying a air quality detector and a radiation detector, would give us important and useful information.
I'm not talking about the airlock here, just the normal gates.
Also, I second bringing Baby Red to the other bunkers, maybe one of them is on another other planet :)
What are your thoughts?
Have Dr Finch check out the proto-bio printer (feeling kinda bad having him run around everywhere).
Bio printer, Martian Blood, shipments. This may be where Queen originated...
Man has made it to Mars via ship, but not much was done with it after that. Space programs took a vacation until the threat of pollution built up too much to ignore--everyone in power suddenly changed tunes from "the pollution is no big deal, get over it" to "we need to put cities on the moon, like, tomorrow."
Likewise, getting people to Mars will likely just be seen as a novelty (or a hobby of weird rich people like Thale Sr) until something goes wrong with the moon.
Edit: if we can given the distance, Could we check on Macland? We haven't seen what he's been up to in awhile.
flower selfie XD
May you be blessed with the inspiration for many many more updates <3
Only one way to find out.
It looks like the girls are the only ones who don't feel a little awkward being all close together for a picture. :3
See it's a sprite thing.
