While we don't yet fully understand the process, over the past few months it's become clear that any of us could return to stasis at any time. In some cases, more than once. And while I'm sure we all have family and friends from our worlds we hope to see — sooner rather than later — those of our acquaintances from the many others represented here shouldn't be remembered as just faces in those pods.

I think it's well past time we organised ourselves a little to keep track, if only to expedite that process for all of us. To that effect, I've set up a noticeboard for refugee use.

I'd appreciate any names you had to offer.

wait what are we organizing for

I mean I get what you said I dont think I get what you want to do about it...

There's a message board where you can put up photographs of people you knew who've gone back to sleep.

[ actually hang on, here: picture attached. It's a bulletin board with three photos on it. ]

Otherwise it could take weeks or months to know if someone's gone.

What if it was a person i don't care for?

[beknight]

You don't have to, this is entirely voluntary.

Well shit, if it ain't that old good lord giveth and the good lord taketh away clause. All that charity is too good to be true anyway.

Any leads on the commonalities between them? Were they getting sick? Sleepy? Acting rowdy, biting the hand that feeds?

text

[beknight]

Not among those I knew. They were from very different worlds as well.

The official explanation is the Storm is unpredictable.

[revlon]

[ Not again. She didn't know about Charles or Ms Bishop going, but that brings the grand total of new friends returning to stasis up to... four? Four. As far as she's aware. ]

This is a lovely idea, Mr Foster. Are you all right?

text

[beknight]

I thought it was past time.

I'm well, Ms. Carter. And yourself?

For once I actually see something useful going on with these networks. The sooner we learn what the fuck is going on the more likely we are to keep it from happening in the future.

text

[beknight]

I've made a note of that, thank you.

What are your theories?

Text - UN: wrightlawyer4u

[objectionattorney]

I thought it was the recent strain of sickness that had been what was forcing people back into stasis.

[At least, that as what he assumed due to personal experience.]

np!

[beknight]

It was happening long before that, and it's still ongoing, I'm sorry to say.

voice; un: star-lord

[nostalgiabomb]

[ Apparently Peter is that weird asshole who responds to texts by calling, so here's his dulcet voice on the network. ]

So if they come back out of stasis or whatever, does someone take their picture down?

text

[beknight]

[ Such friendly dulcet tones. Bruce always texts. ]

They could. The best case scenario is no one on that board.

[ It would only bother people like him who like to know the when and who, and it's not like he isn't going to be keeping track. ]

text, u.n: j.watson

[enarms]

Shit, Charles is back in stasis?

[ God that happens quickly ]

text

[beknight]

Earlier this week. I tried to reach him the other day and went to check this morning.

I'm sorry, John.

BATCRYPTED.

[wondie]

Wisely done. There are a few I could add to this board.

( Tinker Bell. her sweet and spunky fae friend. Kara, of course, though undoubtedly Bruce has already placed her there. many more, if she is truthful; more than she likes to think about. )

Is there someone in particular that inspired you to start?

BATCRYPTED.

[beknight]

[ Only for her, he matches what she's using. ]

I've been thinking it over since Cassandra left. Then, someone else I knew went back in this week.

[ He hasn't put a photo of her there. He can't share that pain with anyone, it feels easier to deal with when folded in with Kara. ]

Do you have any photos or just names?

text | un: archangel

[centurian]

[ well that's not a cheery thought at all. especially considering that board up on the Thesa Station? well, it reminds him a little too much of the board on the Citadel.

but at lest no one's dead, in this case. ]

wait, so one minute you're told "hey go live your life" and the next you're right back in stasis?

has anyone asked the orbiters about this for the official explanation? assuming you believe that, of course.

text

[beknight]

Not in so many words. The explanation is the Storm is unpredictable, and this is a neurological side-effect.

Have you just recently awoken?

[ asked as though he hasn't been tracking new usernames on the network. ]

text; un: flashgoddess

[catfident]

How nice of you to keep track.

This sort of thing happen often?

[ She's new, obviously. ]

text

[beknight]

Frequently enough.

I assume you woke recently?

[xwings]

That's a good idea.

[ though it's sad that it's necessary. ]

Porpentina Goldstein and Newt Scamander. And the Exile.

[beknight]

Felt like someone should.

[ ha. ha ha ha ha ha ]

I've made a note of their names. Do you have any photographs of them?

text; un: lady

[unprays]

attached: image

Please add that to the board, Ser Alan. His name is Robb Stark. Another name I have is that of Arya Stark, but I do not have a picture of her.

text

[beknight]

Lady Sansa. I'm truly sorry.

[ They're not dead, but separation is painful, since the first day she'd said she might not recognise them.]

If you don't mind giving me a description, I could sketch her for you.

[motivation]

Johnny Jaqobis.

text

[beknight]

[ Like handing him a knife. ]

Noted. Do you have a photograph?

[illuminescent]

You mean...Edmund's name?

[beknight]

Yes, and if you had any others.

text | un: fairchild

[obstinance]

I've got plenty, unfortunately. You can add Jace Wayland, Isabelle and Alec Lightwood, Simon Lewis, and Derek Hale to the list.

[ the others have already been mentioned, as she can see. kate, robb, edmund — it isn't surprising that this place would be eager to take what it can from her, even temporarily. a moment later, and the attached images come through, the first four obviously plucked from a personal collection back home. ]

I don't know if it's been mentioned, but the wait time to see if someone wakes up or stays in stasis has been 3 days so far. I figured that'd be useful to know for anyone that has someone missing before they post them up.

[ it had been three days for clary and three days for clarke, at least, but that's enough evidence to assume there's a vague pattern — and some proof that there's still some hope to be had, even in a situation like this. ]

[beknight]

[ It's a lot of names. Poor dear. ]

I've received the photographs, I'll put them up.

It hasn't, and I wasn't aware of that. Thank you.

[ Not aware that it was a pattern with others — it had happened to Dutch. ]

Did it happen to you or someone you know, if I may ask?

un: sand | batcrypted

[granularity]

I don't have any names since no one's come out, but I do have something related to talk to you about.

text | batcrypted

[beknight]

Go ahead.

un: unchained

[hedonistic]

what, like some kind of memorial or something? isn't that kinda creepy
not like they're dead

[beknight]

Some of those names have gone back in more than once. If there's a pattern with the Storm, it's easier to know about it like this.

text; un: swan

[sheriffing]

[ Emma is new here, but that doesn't mean she isn't concerned about the idea of people going back into stasis for reasons that aren't clear to the rest of them. constant complications sounds like a bit of a stretch, especially when it's in her nature to question this new world.]

Who's tracking dates?

[beknight]

No one as of yet. It's a little hard to know the exact times without being personally acquainted.

text / un: chocobro

[punshots]

i can give you a few names and pics
a lot of pics actually ha
you want em now or in person?

[beknight]

If you could send them as an attachment, I'd appreciate it.

If not, I'm currently on the station, or I can meet you elsewhere.

text; un: armstrong

[wallofbriggs]

I can offer two names: 1st Leutinant Riza Hawkeye and Colonel Roy Mustang.

[Not that she thinks anyone cares about Mustang, but Olivier's sure Hawkeye's been missed by some.]

You'll have to see if anyone else has pictures of them however.

text

[beknight]

Noted, thank you.

Alternately, if you have a physical description, I don't mind sketching.

[priorly]

You don't think it's funereal enough as it is, without a 'here lies' section?

[beknight]

[ the guy built a shrine to his dead son this is... really mild, considering. ]

They're not dead, but we should know if they're at risk of this or other side-effects if/when they return, don't you?

text | un: mad-dog

[hannya]

someone beat me to Hawkeye, but last time I heard from her was in October

she caught that virus. dunno if it's connected

[beknight]

I knew her.

Do you know of anyone else who went in at the same time?

[ He thinks it's separate: all of the victims that he knew of made a full recovery. ]

text; un: clarke

[romancekiller]

that's a really good idea to keep track since it seems to be happening quite frequently.

i have a name to contribute as well. elena gilbert.

I've noted it. Do you have a photograph?

text; un: theEND

[winddaughter]

... thank you for this

[beknight]

I thought someone should.

Do you have any names you'd like to see put up?
