Data Collection [ VIDEO | OTA]

[vulcanyounot]

[The video clicks on and Spock can be seen in his natural habitat his lab at the Genessia Research Foundation. Everything is scarely in order, with not a single beaker out of place. If anyone knows him well enough, they might notice the slightest etchings of fatigue on his features.]

Good evening. As some of you may know I have been studying the barrier which surrounds us, but as I am currently unable to get in close proximity of it my data is limited. I am curious if anyone has and knowledge and/or experience with barriers, this one or otherwise who might be willing to impart that knowledge onto me. I believe it would greatly expedite my progress.

I am also interested in collecting information from everyone about the worlds in which you are all from and your own traits and lives to see if there is some shared attribute which might have attracted whoever is behind out joint abductions and links us all together. If we can determine the reason we were taken then perhaps we can determine what we it is we must do to return to our homes.

Oh, you've spoken my language! I haven't been able to get much but perhaps we can collude as I'm more than willing to explore outside of it and figure out the mechanics of this place whether it be a temporal rift or some kind of fracture or just an ingenious transmat-- Though in your case, I suppose transporter would be more accurate.

Though, of course, transmat came first. Just in case you were curious. Even if you account for relative timelines, and I have. I can even show you the calculations except you'd lack the context I have.

I'm the Doctor by the way, pleased to meet you.

[Don't mind the fact - someone doesn't look not emotionally well]

What's out thar is a wasteland with a liviad atmosphere and creatures - that might have been the former residents of this world.

[spacepeterpan]

Ha, transmat, cute, that really what you're thinking, then?

[Video] | I might be horribly wrong on the not being able to go outside but I dont think so?

[vulcanyounot]

I am Spock. [The Doctor seems to be a popular name here. Likely they're all from the same place, then.]

[Well, he's certainly chatty.]

I am not certain how you can ascertain which piece of technology was created first when we are from different universes, though I am curious to learn.

I also do not believe that we are currently able to go outside the barrier, as those who get too close are rendered unconscious, [He would know.] though the offer is noted.

[That being said, if there is an opportunity to go out there, he'll be on the first transporter out there; to boldly go and all that.]

"Hi. I'm new here, but what information do you need?" Maggie paused, and swallowed, giving herself a moment to organize her thoughts. "If you figure out how to get people back, do you think it'd be possible to figure out how to bring people here? On purpose?"

[voice]

[vulcanyounot]

"Any information you are willing to share will suffice. I am open to all data sets currently." Spock considers her second question for a moment before continuing. "I suppose the possibility is there, though I believe that the common goal is to go home. May I inquire as to why you would desire to bring someone else here?"

The barriers extends into the sky.

Have you looked into the crystals?

[spacepeterpan]

Into the sky, you've checked it out with the TARDIS?

[Because there's a good chance he would, if couldn't just get a response he trusted just by scanning it.]

Re: [Video]

[vulcanyounot]

I am aware that the barrier extends quite high, otherwise Nova City would be unable to have floating apartments above the city itself. I am not, however, certain if it continues underground.

I have conducted some research on them, though more is still necessary.

[Orihime doesn't respond right away. She spends a good moment studying his video and trying to figure out what he is. An elf? A scientist robot? A scientist elf robot?]

[...]

[Ah ha ha ha!]

[After she has herself a proper giggle, she considers whether or not to respond at all. He seems to be in earnest about his studies, and the information could prove useful to all of them. Another pause...then she locks the video just to him.]

I've used my powers to pass through someone else's barrier before, and I can manifest my own out of my spiritual energy. But I admit that I don't know too much about my abilities. They're still kind of new to me!

[She inclines her head in greeting.]

Orihime Inoue. Pleased to meet you!

[Video - Locked] scientist-elf-robot I can't

[vulcanyounot]

I am Spock.

[A person who can create barriers. Fascinating. He needs to know more.]

If you are unable to describe your powers, perhaps you would be able to give a demonstration? Though I would ask that you elaborate on "spiritual energy" if you are capable.

[If she can phase through barriers, would she be able to go through the one here? Perhaps there would be no adverse effects if she were to approach it...]

[spacepeterpan]

Oh, hello, don't think we've met, but yeah, I've got a bit, well... quite a bit.

[He'd not half smug, there, adjusting his bow tie.]

I'd be interested in seeing the data you've got so far, happen to be following a few leads of my own, actually, got a theory or two, well, a thing, bit of a theory, not sure which bit just yet.

oh god I have to figure out what data he's collected so far

[vulcanyounot]

[Spock had no idea one of his colleagues was expert on the subject Most excellent.]

I welcome any ideas you have to offer. I have not collected much yet, though I am willing to show you what I have discovered thus far. Are you able to come by my lab?

[stillnotadragon]

Well, in my experience barriers tend to go down if you hit them enough. I'm guessing someone's tried that?

[His expression is innocent.]

As for the rest of it... what sort of information are you looking for? For one, we don't have cars. And as far as personal life goes...well the less said the better

[vulcanyounot]

I am open to any information you are willing to share. There are no parameters on the inquiry.

As for hitting the barrier, I believe it has been attempted in the past with no success. However it is currently impossible to get close enough to it to try the method again.

[hamusukethewise]

My world is most similar to Fayren, that it is. Back home I was known as the Wise King of the Forest, that I was.

I have never met another of my kind. I was told that I resemble a Djungarian hamster, but they are far smaller, that they are.

[vulcanyounot]

[Is that. Is that a talking hamster? Yeah, Fayren sounds about right then. The variety of species here never ceased to amaze him.

But seriously how does that work he needs MRIs now]

Yes, I do see the resemblance. You are correct that they are much smaller than you are. You are the only of your kind back home? What species are prevalent there?

[ Boy you are stealing her job with the organization. That's her work she does to relax herself when she's stressed.

Weiss quietly reminds herself that she doesn't own the organization of the lab space, and can go through the binders later to make sure everyone else's data is thoroughly organized. ]

There's a new project I want to suggest for the GSRF. If you're working on the barrier, Spock, it may have some relevance. Anyone else in the GSRF willing to work on the project is fine with the understanding that it is a strictly observation-only project. If you instigate the circumstances needed to study it I will personally come for you with whichever City Guardian is relevant in tow.

Who wants to sign a temporary confidentiality agreement?

[ Don't reorganize his stuff, Weiss. He has a system. ]

I'm interested.

[chicken_kun]

Knowledge and experience with barriers, huh? You got yourself one barrier-human right here!

[video]

[vulcanyounot]

[Well, he at least sounds like he knows what he's talking about. Maybe.]

Could you elaborate on what you mean by your claim to be a "barrier-human?" Do you have the ability to create barriers?

[Is this a common thing in other universes? He's met a few people now that have made this claim.]

Video, she doesn't know how to lock or filter yet

[mikotwin]

[She's going to accidentally activate the video feed while looking over his post. As any young human is apt to do, her facial expression will shift multiple times between curiosity, confusion, doubt, suspicion, doubt, fear, and then off to worry.]

If someone is different than usual or has come from a different world than expected, what do you plan on doing to them?

[vulcanyounot]

Presently, nothing. I am not certain a link even exists; a colleague of mine mentioned that he explored a similar possibility in the past with inconclusive results. Though if there is a factor which binds us and one were to appear that is seemingly lacking it, taking a few scans with their permission might prove beneficial to determine why they in particular were taken here; that is, to find that which they have that all others do not.

[Everyone here is probably very different; he can't even say that the connection is that they're all alive since some people here died before they arrived.]

[acrostic]

People are not entirely forthcoming with every detail of their lives and when I went down this line of questioning the limited information couldn't produce correlations.

I think the people that are technically deceased should be looked closer upon. It's a smaller sample size to start with and the fact that Genessia had directly interfered with their vitals could say far more about its qualifications and selection process for who comes in.

Re: video;

[vulcanyounot]

An interesting suggestion, though I believe the sample size to be too small to accurately determine much. And while there is a chance that it might lead to a conclusion for their being here, the majority of the population would still have no reason.

Though I believe that Genessia continues to interfere with our vitals since those who die here do not remain so. Whatever it is that is keeping us here seems to also be adamant about us staying alive.

It's been a long time since I saw an elf...but why are you white?

[Video]

[vulcanyounot]

[what

Seriously, not the answer he was expecting in the slightest. He stares quizzically at the humanoid-feline creature (fascinating; he can't wait to learn more), trying to figure out what deeper meaning could possibly be there but nope, he's got nothing.]

I do not understand your query. I am a Vulcan, not an elf.

[truesmiles]

Depends on the kind of barriers. I mean I use spells that become barriers if that counts.

[David's safe houses are actually in part safe because Fai used said spells.]

Video;

[vulcanyounot]

I am ideally searching for information on the barrier which contains us all though I am open to exploring other types as well. Would you be willing to describe to me the type of barrier you are able to create and the science behind it? A live demonstration would also be useful if possible.

[ Video ]

[pianola]

[ Calm expression, calm voice. ]

I can't help you with the barrier.

What sort of information do you want to gather from us?

[ Video ]

[vulcanyounot]

[Equally calm expression, equally calm voice.]

Any information you are willing to share is acceptable. There is no specific data set that I am inquiring about at the present moment.

[blindpuppet]

[Enis watches the screen with increasing interest. She is thankful for his candor though she isn't keen on sharing details of her own world.

It isn't that she doesn't want to, though that does play a roll in her hesitance, but that her view point of the world is rather unusual. She's researched enough of her world to know that a vast majority of society follows along similar paths.

The only thing she can offer him are bare minimum facts.]

I am from Earth. The year was 2026.

[That about sums it up.]

I am skilled in data analysis if you find that you need help.

Video; Private

[vulcanyounot]

The offer is noted.

[She doesn't seem to want to share much more about herself, and Spock will not push the issue, not unless she mentions something that prompts an inquiry.]

Would you be wiling to elaborate on your Earth? Are there any lifeforms or technology there that would be traditionally classified as fantasy or science fiction?

[How different from the 2026 Earth he of knows is the 2026 Earth you know what he's going for.]

Video

[rulerofme]

I'm from Earth, which I believe honestly isn't too uncommon here. I'm a mutant, which is a person who has powers and abilities given to them through a special gene. I don't think powers or special abilities is too uncommon for the people brought here either.
