Has anyone found a pod containing someone that was supposed to be dead? That they knew to be dead.

( river asks more out of curiosity than anything, out of trying to understand and gain more knowledge on the pods, on who and how they were brought here. she also can't deny that small piece of hope that comes with the question, of wanting to see someone that she couldn't (shouldn't) be able to see again )

That's a big question. For the sake of your curiosity, or something else?

[He can certainly understand curiosity, but the Natha don't appear to have been all that forthcoming about the extent of their power, either.]

What else would it be?

( considering it was both curiosity and 'something else' she just wanted to see what he thought )

Not everyone who asks about the kind of power they're dealing with has good intentions, do they?

True, but I'm not convinced our saviours have good intentions either. Not entirely.

A few people seem to think that. Why is it you decided that was how things were?

[She's new enough that she shouldn't have been able to speak to them, so he finds himself curious whether there was logic behind the thought or whether it was the general suspicion that they must want something out of saving so many people.]

Doing something like this requires a lot of power. No one's ever that altruistic.

So it's simple suspicion. I don't think they've been careless enough to let go of any information that useful, though.

That doesn't mean that the information isn't there.

Do you think this is the way you're going to get it? Or are you just testing the waters?

It's the way to get some. But I don't expect it for all of my questions, that would be too easy.

Well, I can't argue with that. I think you'll get plenty of answers to your original question, at least...

Oh, I already have.

Maybe I'll take a look later. I do wonder what everyone thinks about the situation here.

It's certainly interesting reading, though I know there are other perspectives not yet covered.

Well, there always are. People aren't willing to give everything up in public most of the time.

Says the person remaining anonymous.

That's just proving my own point, isn't it?

It's a little different.

Is it? I thought we were having a nice talk, myself.

I prefer knowing who I'm speaking to, as much as I can appreciate the necessity for anonymity in certain situations.

Oh, that's a shame. But at the same time, knowing what someone calls themselves on here doesn't always mean knowing who they are anyway, does it?

No, but it'll give me a starting point for who to return to for a conversation.

Well, if you want to talk again that much, you could always leave me your name. But people get a bit cagey about giving a name and not getting one back.

River Song. I'm not that shy.

Oh? I'll keep an ear out for that name, then. In the meantime, enjoy your information.
