[Tim chooses to keep his first entry to text, avoiding having his voice and face on the network immediately. This decision is aided by his mistrust of the city he's found himself in and by the fact that his uniform doesn't quite cover him as much as he's used to. He's still unsure whether the city is part of the Unternet or not, because how else does he explain the uniform. But then where were Tam and Lonnie - he'd been with them moments before waking.]

I know I'm not the only one who's been brought here, so I'm curious - how many non-natives got fished out of the ocean? Also, have any of you heard of the Ünternet? [He keeps the second question vague because it's easier than directly asking if any of the Bat family are here.] More importantly: has anyone been here long enough to get a decent lay of the land and an idea where to get a good, strong cup of coffee? [Because he has a headache like you wouldn't know.]

[Again -- delayed reply. It probably will be the same each time as she reads the text.]

Oh. [Curious surprise!] Interesting. Does it work like the internet? And familiarity with it would mean someone you know.

There's definitely enough space for a lot more.

Somewhat, but it has far more limited uses and is much more complex. Precisely.

No doubt about that. I expect we'll see more people come through. I wonder if they'll tell us why we're here if more people do?

[sophos]

Created with a purpose, no doubt.

If more people do start coming through, it might be harder to avoid so many asking the same things. I feel like we'd get a little more answers. Enough to placate.

People of a certain persuasion use it for meeting on a virtual plane.

Let's hope so.

[sophos]

Clever.

As much as I want answers, I'm not sure I'd want huge quantities of people also getting stuck here, even if it seems likely to happen.

It is.

Oh, don't get me wrong, I don't want more people to come through, especially not if this really is the In Between or whatever the kedan called it.

[sophos]

The In Between, between life, death, and dreaming. Though it's probably more complicated than that.

[inhisherosimage]

Right. That. Probably.

audio

[sophos]

So do you have a name or is the text meant to avoid that?

text;

[inhisherosimage]

It's meant to avoid it. For now, at least.

audio

[sophos]

Well, it's a good way to do it, I suppose.
