Now this is remarkable. I've been made to understand that this is a regular event around here, this sudden seemingly free influx of unexpected visitors. One with a limited timespan as well, from my understanding. Which means it is vital to make the most of this research opportunity while it's presented itself.

Certainly somewhere there must be some indication as to the manner of the connection between this dimension and others - more apparent now than typically - and how it has been possible for those of us whose stays here are somewhat less transitory to find ourselves achieving transdimensional passage to begin with...

[And his voice trails off as he gets distracted by planning his research. The connection goes quiet for a few moments before it cuts off.]



[ooc: HAVE AT HIM. Also, this post is so backdating friendly, it's got its own damn flux capacitor.]

[ Oh, a scientist. Now this is a piquing of his interest. ]

Wouldn't you find it more concerning that, assuming each individual 'visitor' caused his own discrete puncture to the fabric of space-time, moving this many people from their respective locales to here over such a short period is the equivalent of firing a shotgun through the relatively fragile structure that's holding the universe together?

[dashingrainbow]

You talk funny.

[firstgradephilosophy]

Transdimensional travel isn't hard. You just need a good co-pilot and a ship.

[candothat]

You are interested in interdimensional travel?

[Said with much delight, as it's not a topic that comes up often.]

[what_the_flux]

Of course! Though, a chance to better understand that structure would certainly give me a more solid foundation of exactly how well-founded such a concern is, and how much disruption is truly caused by the mass shift across all dimensions. Certainly, an opportunity to comprehend the way that this particular dimension is connected to others - because of its apparently unique nature as a hub or a nexus of sorts - would grant a greater understanding of the ways in which all realities coexist.

[what_the_flux]

I have been told that. I realize I can get a bit carried away at times, particularly by the prospect of discovery and the achievement of greater understanding.

[what_the_flux]

Oh? You certainly sound like quite the seasoned expert. What sort of ship do you have?

[dashingrainbow]

You sound like my friend Twilight. Do you read a lot? She lives in a library.

[what_the_flux]

Truthfully, I'm interested in all things scientific. I have to admit, my recent experiences coming here have awakened a particular fascination. Though, my primary field of work for some years has been temporal physics, which certainly bears some relation to alternate dimensions and multiverse theory.

[draconically]

What method are you planning to use to examine the dimensional shifts? A scan for abnormally high concentrations of tachyons, perhaps?

[candothat]

[Doc, where have you been all of his life.]

Temporal physics! I studied advanced theoretical physics at the Academy and have had very few people to talk with. From when are you? Are you familiar with science of the twenty-third century?

[firstgradephilosophy]

State of the art.

audio; i love you for emmett brown jsyk

[ alisha tried to follow, but with dimension to transitory to transdimensional, she feels really lost. ]

What?

[Video] Oh my god someone plays from this canon?!

One person said those barriers are made of magic, and that they're weak at the moment so more people are getting in.

[clownishly]

You make a bigger hole, bucko.

[entangles]

Do you have any hypotheses in regards to the connection?

[call_me_spooky]

Hi.

[what_the_flux]

Ah, hello! I take it you're one of our guests for the weekend?

[what_the_flux]

I can't say I've collected enough data on the methods used by those that seem to be managing this particular dimension to make a hypothesis at this point. I certainly have some theories involving my own arrival, but given that it's an isolated combination of circumstances, I doubt that it has much bearing on the interdimensional connections that are typically utilized in achieving passage here.

AHAHAHAHA YES.

[what_the_flux]

An interesting way of putting it, if not a bit lacking in scientific detail. Though, I'm interested in accounting for the difficulty people seem to have achieving travel out of this dimension, as well as the methods via which they enter.

[call_me_spooky]

You could say that.

I'm afraid I can't help with the research, though. No idea how I got here.

[Video] I do I do! 8D

[what_the_flux]

Well - I would use slightly different terminology than "magic", but the idea of a weakened barrier is certainly one worth considering. Achieving a working understanding of the nature in which alternate dimensions coexist is hardly an overnight process, and it's certainly not a topic of research that should dismiss any proposed theory without a thorough, proper investigation.

[Video] Aaaaaa you are so awesome asjkhfds *-*!!

[destinedtobeunpopular]

But what if it is magic? It doesn't exist where you're from?

[ He does that to people a lot :( ]

Ah, my apologies! I suppose I do have a tendency to get carried away...

To rephrase a bit more colloquially, I think that events such as this one may provide a unique opportunity to develop a better understanding of the nature of the City and how it connects to all of our respective realities.

[He hasn't visited your lifetime yet, Ensign. Maybe he'll get there someday.]

Really? Well, it's always a pleasure to meet a like mind! Though, I'm afraid I'm not familiar with the twenty-third century just yet. Where I come from, [originally...] it's the year 1985.
