003 - Besides, by and large she was having a very good time.

[AUDIO, public. Una sounds as composed and friendly as ever, her cut-glass accent as reassuring as a BBC news anchor's.]

To those of you I've not met before—hello. My name's Una Persson. I'd like to canvass the foreigner population here with just a brief question—who here is familiar with time travel, in the world from which they come? I'll be quite transparent: it's something with which I'm very familiar, and I'm curious to know who else is as well. Should you prefer to discuss this face-to-face, I live in the Wood sector. [A pause.] And if you're familiar with the technology behind it, I'd be especially interested in hearing from you.

You may recall that there was a name in my notes that I showed you. Do not speak it out loud and be very careful with whom you share it.

[Bruce never shares any information he doesn't have to, it's part of his charm.]

I beg your pardon?

[una_persson]

...We should talk.

There's a look at a genuine, if non-functioning, time-machine in it for you as well.

[cowled]

Well, you've caught my attention.

When?

video | private

[una_persson]

This evening?

[cowled]

Of course. I'll make time.

audio;

[imaginate]

I'm familiar. With both technology and other means.

audio;

[una_persson]

Really? I didn't expect it to be that easy. [She sounds amused. Also curious.] "Other means"?

audio;

[imaginate]

You'd be surprised. [A pause.] I've met beings who can tear apart the fabric of space and time.

[He's been one, too.]

audio;

[una_persson]

What a coincidence; so have I. [Not even joking.]

So tell me more about what you know about the tech.

audio;

[imaginate]

Depends on what kind of tech it is. I've seen a lot of different types, with different energy sources. [Hi cosmic treadmill.] The physics of it is beyond me, though.

[Dorian had watched that post of Iorveth's and hoped that one of his acquaintances would pass on the information. It sounds like he is in luck.]

Then our suspicions about it were correct?

Re: [text | private]

[una_persson]

Amply so. Got a moment? I'll tell you more in person.

[text | private]

[depicted]

Of course. Same meeting place, or the palace?

Re: [text | private]

[una_persson]

Let's meet at the palace. I think that might actually be safer, from what I've been told.

[text | private]

[depicted]

I'll be there in half an hour.

[fatedchaos]

I'm familiar with it, but it wasn't done through technology.

Re: audio;

[una_persson]

Magic?

audio;

[fatedchaos]

Basically, yeah. I had a friend who was gifted with time travel.

audio;

[una_persson]

That's quite a gift. [Not a word she usually uses for it.]

Can I ask how much control they had over it?

audio;

[sciencewhizard]

[ Huh, this is definitely catching his attention. ]

I know a few people who've claimed to have seen the future; they managed to steal some tech from the future that way.

As for actually traveling? It's just a theory where I'm from. No one [ That Wally knows of, yet. ] has been able to do it.

audio;

[una_persson]

How did they manage to acquire future technology from visions alone? Apologies if that sounds like a silly question; that's just a new one for me.

audio;

[sciencewhizard]

Whoops- shoulda been clearer.

I mean- he copied designs that he saw in the future. I don't know the specifics, but it was something my uncle figured out.

audio;

[una_persson]

Ah, I see what you mean. It's interesting, that time travel remains theoretical but that any information at all—even just visuals—can be accessed in any way across time.

Audio

[notamachine]

Depends on what you mean by 'familiar with.' [Because Dean's done time travel, but never on his own; always at the hands of an angel or a god.]

Audio

[una_persson]

In any practical sense. Experienced personally, or have heard of in some actual, extant capacity, not just as something from a book or a film.
