STARS? OUTSIDE?

That's impossible! I know this room! It's not-

2/2

[no-left-arm.livejournal.com]

Oh, no no no...this can't be happening...

[remarkablyblunt]

It is rather unusual, I must say! Still, a bit of adventure might be perfectly in order! And to think - mankind in space. It is rather remarkable, isn't it?

[no-left-arm.livejournal.com]

Very.

[remarkablyblunt]

I say, chin up and all that! No sense in panicking 'til we know what's what! Think about it - this could be the best thing that's ever happened to two fellows like us. Out here among the stars, where no man has ever set foot before. Brilliant, really!

[no-left-arm.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Right. Brilliant.

[remarkablyblunt]

No need to seem so truculent about it.

[no-left-arm.livejournal.com]

I'm not exactly jumping for joy here.

[remarkablyblunt]

Oh? Fear of the unknown, is it?

[no-left-arm.livejournal.com]

Even worse. Fear of the known.

[remarkablyblunt]

So you've been in space before, have you?

[no-left-arm.livejournal.com]

No, I haven't.

[remarkablyblunt]

Oh? You claim to know of it, at least.

[no-left-arm.livejournal.com]

Let me tell you-- nothing good ever crawled out of space.

[remarkablyblunt]

Never mind! They can be bested by simple bacteria, you know.

War of the Worlds, Tommy? :P

[no-left-arm.livejournal.com]

Bacteria? What are you talking about? Do you think if it was that simple we would have spent years struggling to develop a vaccine? Bacteria doesn't bother them at all.

He's a well-read bloke.

[remarkablyblunt]

So Mr. Wells was wrong then?

Have intense Krycek again

[no-left-arm.livejournal.com]

Very. Reality is different than an old science fiction novel.

[remarkablyblunt]

It's not that old! No, wait, I forgot: it's not 1920, is it?

[no-left-arm.livejournal.com]

Far from it. Enjoy what time you have before they come back.

[remarkablyblunt]

I'll certainly do my best! What do they look like, so I'll know them when I see them?

[no-left-arm.livejournal.com]

You won't see them, not unless they want you to or unless it's too late to do anything.

[remarkablyblunt]

Oh dear, that does sound bad! We're all doomed then, are we?

[no-left-arm.livejournal.com]

I'm not stupid. I know you don't believe any of this.

[remarkablyblunt]

Nonesense! I'd love to hear more about the alien invasion.
