A lot. I'd been keeping an eye on the network since the moon, 'cause I'd talked to Sonya about people disappearing a lot when we were there. I thought it might be a power thing.
[Power to the Transporter, since they were running on limited resources. Which they still are, so many that's part of it, but it doesn't explain the time loop or the people showing up.]
And a bunch of people from my world, they all know each, too.
[Which is... weird. Liek the Transporter aimed at a certain spot and caught four people in one go.]
It's mostly been information gathering. Blue ran a fair few of them that had us collecting data with the AI, but it doesn't seem like anything big enough to do this. [She's thought about it a lot, once they got back, but it isn't her area of expertise.] Before that there were a couple missions to change how genetics and cloning was done in the UE, but again - pretty small stuff.
[Maybe it's the small stuff that makes the difference, though.]
Doesn't really sound like any big deal, but what the hell do we know about what's a big deal?
[it's not like they know how they ended up in ice-age exsilium instead of flattened-by-nukes exsilium, either.]
There was a movie like this, back home, a guy living the same day over and over while nobody else remembered it. Except I'm pretty sure his time loop got fixed when he got the girl. But since he had pretty much all the time in the world, he learned to do all kinds of stuff. So if we're stuck, maybe there's time to figure out why.
How far is away? I mean, everybody's not gonna leave, and the guys who run the thing can't. If you do get out, what happens if you come back? Are the people still inside stuck?
[She's just - pinching the bridge of her nose, because yeah, fucking time travel.]
I'm guessing it'd be like a bubble where everyone's caught on repeat while the rest of the world or universe or whatever carries on as normal. [He can't see her, but she's making hand gestures to go along with the explanation.] If we managed to get out, I'd say that we'd find ourselves in whatever day it should be? I'm not really an expert, though.
[There's a distant who was that? from Saul, but Steph shushes him before turning her attention backt to the screen.]
I used to wear it like this when I was doing the whole Spoiler thing, 'cause long hair didn't fit under my mask, and the ponytail sticking out the back looked kinda silly.

[he runs a hand through his hair. peter knows roman's gone, but he didn't realize that wasn't an isolated incident.]
Shee-it.

So...what did we do to make that happen? Other than Vegas, I don't even know what missions are being run anymore.

...when did those new people show up, though?
no subject
[She's sure that getting the girl won't fix it for them, but Peter has a point about them having plenty of time to figure it out.]
I think it was the second day we were in Vegas? I didn't find out straight away.
no subject
[he's never sure when things are going to overlap.]
So basically a whole week early. And now it keeps being the 7th over and over. Mysteeeeeeerious.

I don't know, girl wonder. I'm a pretty shitty detective. I feel it, just before I black out, but couldn't tell you what it feels like.
no subject
It might be localized. The time loop or whatever we wanna call it. Maybe it'll stop if we get away from the Transporter.
no subject
I fuckin' hate time travel.

[what if she just makes jokes instead of dealing with things]
no subject
[well if she thinks it's going to be peter keeping them on task that will only lead to disappointment.]
Think of the possibilities, though. Experiment with hairstyles, get falling-down drunk without a hangover or wasting any booze...
and suddenly video
One step ahead of you, Rumancek.
well fine, video then
Damn, girl wonder.
suck it

oh he would
Just looking, not touching!
[and then at a more normal volume]
It's good on you, though.
