05th anomaly ; video ; open

[dinosize]

Have you ever wondered what comes next? Evolutionarily. After humans.

[ Stephen is in his own cabin, a light and airy space that doesn't really seem to suit him. The camera is propped up on the edge of a sink, where he's washing out blood and dirt from the clothes he wore while out in the port.

He's not really looking at the camera. ]

Do you think humans could ever be a food source for another animal?

Comments

[keeps_a_cool_head]

Yes: I'm asking if you have such duplicates in your cabin.

[dinosize]

Why?

[keeps_a_cool_head]

I have an interest in wormholes. Yours is the closest I've heard to ones being terrestrial, instead of out in space.

[dinosize]

How are you defining a wormhole?

[keeps_a_cool_head]

An irregularity that warps time, space, or both.

[dinosize]

Then it was one.

I've got the clothes I've worn through it. Not much else.

[keeps_a_cool_head]

So it doesn't transport weaponry.

[dinosize]

...course it does. But I've only been through a handful of times, and it was mostly government equipment that I brought.

[ There's a handful of things that were his own. Pocket knife, and such. He's not interested in volunteering until he knows what's going to happen to it. ]

It has a strong magnetic pull, in fact. Metal objects go through very easily.

[keeps_a_cool_head]

And what was the largest object you were able to drag through?

[dinosize]

...well, there was a mammoth.

Um, four-legged creature, about four meters high, eight tons.

[keeps_a_cool_head]

A not-insignificant creature.

Still, I was thinking more in the way of starships.

[dinosize]

Don't think so.

[keeps_a_cool_head]

Unfortunate.

Still, I won't be discouraged until I have the chance to witness your anomalies for myself. Do you think you might be able to program them into the CES?

[dinosize]

It's taken me to times I've seen through the anomaly. It's never shown me an anomaly.

[keeps_a_cool_head]

Can you sense them?

[dinosize]

No. They can be detected, though, on certain radio frequencies.

[keeps_a_cool_head]

Using our communicators?

[dinosize]

Don't know, mate, that's not really my thing.

[keeps_a_cool_head]

It seems like something worth investigating.

[dinosize]

If you want to look at the clothes and things, you're welcome to.

[keeps_a_cool_head]

Bring them to me when I have lab access again. I'd wish to investigate them thoroughly.
