no_fastolfe | Warden 1.0 (Again, Vasilia)

Have so many of the faces I was used to gone? I had not realized how I would feel their loss. But some of my old acquaintances are active, and I am pleased to see you. Doctor, are you--well? [His last network post looked downright miserable.] It has been a period of years, in my timeline, how long last since I was here?

For the many that I see and do not know- hello, I am Doctor Vasilia Aliena of the Auroran Robotics Institute. I spent several months aboard this vessel as an inmate; I return now in hopes that I can be as successful as my wardens.

[Dracula appears onscreen, in the same somber uniform he used to habitually wear, having put on a smile that looks fake because his eyes are dead.]

Hello again, Vasilia.

From:

no_fastolfe

[She gives a soft exhale, as if a burden has been lifted from her.]

Vladislaus. I have missed you in the past years. Are you not well?

From:

nolongerhollow

I missed you as well.

Oh no, I have finally found a way to beat this nightmare place and keep it from doing me harm. That is all.

From:

no_fastolfe

[She looks vastly dubious, but she's learned a little tact since she was first on the barge. She just nods.]

Would you join me in a walk through the greenhouse tonight? I already miss Aurora's trees and flowers.

From:

nolongerhollow

[He doesn't seem to react to her expression. Merely the same benign but empty smile.]

Of course. Shall I meet you after supper then?

Huh.

Welcome back.

From:

Madame?

From:

creatingalegacy

It's Amanda. I was friends with your warden.

[She's so gonna visit him in space when Lua graduates]

From:

no_fastolfe

Commander Rhade! I was able to visit him when I left, five years ago. He's colonizing a small planet.

From:

creatingalegacy

Five years? Damn.

I'm supposed to visit him when my inmate graduates. He has his own fucking planet?

[Wait, he's about to respond when he sees there's a mention of an Anisette there. And a Braxiatel. And what?]

I've had better days I suppose? [What?] How are you?

From:

no_fastolfe

I'm well. You know that Auroran culture is vastly different from that of the Barge-- there is an acclimatization I must undergo.

But it is good to see you again. When I first left the barge I had the opportunity to visit my warden, Rhade-- your brother, consequently, and your niece. Mischievous. A genetic trait, perhaps? [Her most cautiously teasing smile, not sure where she stands after what has been, for her, a long time away.]

From:

championoftime

...No, not at all. That must be entirely Mr. Rhade's fault. [What?] I have to admit that was one plan I never saw in the works.

From:

no_fastolfe

Of course.

I was unaware myself-- but it became obvious, as she refers to your brother as 'daddy'. He is an attentive parent to her; she seemed very happy.

From:

championoftime

...That's good. [Narvin would be proud of the squeak he just made.] He's doing well, then?

strangehistorian

Welcome back! It's great to see you again.

From:

no_fastolfe

And you, Madam Chromie. [She inclines her head and smiles a bit. She looks much less like she swallowed a lemon than she used to.]

From:

shortsightedlove

So you did return! [Rassilon looks rather pleased with that.] How has it gone? Have you found that robot? Or is that why you're here?

From:

no_fastolfe

Lord President! I am pleased to see you.

As yet R. Daneel has not responded to my requests for contact--which are necessarily subtle. Given the offer, I thought it wise to take the admiral's offer.

And in truth, my routine, treasured though it is, was also confining after the breadth of experience aboard the barge.

From:

shortsightedlove

Ah, I see. I do hope you can accomplish your goals here, then.

And I suppose that is one of the... good sides of this place. Though I would still prefer being home.

From:

no_fastolfe

The choice makes it more palatable-- though I have not forgotten what I might be subject to here. Unfortunately, that isn't something I can share with you.

Doctor Aliena... I would be greatly interested in hearing more about your time with this Institute.

From:

no_fastolfe

I'd be willing to speak on it, although my experience with the barge tells me that the Ascenion model of robotics is not common through the timelines.

You I do not recognize, madam?

Admiral Daro'Xen vas Moreh. Apparent solitary quarian resident and representative of the Migrant Fleet.

I have considerable expertise in robotics and AI, myself. But somehow, most of those present aboard ship have escaped all knowledge of the geth.
