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 )

It's a shame. It could be a beautiful country.

[ key word was "could". he'd seen enough of its dark side in his time, after all. he nods. ]

I suppose there is. Managed to see plenty of countries myself. It was one of the perks of being an officer.

[ a pause. ]

You were something of a traveler, then? Is the tech up on the station something you're used to seeing?

[ not much surprises him, even less so now. after all, he's met men and women from places that seemed like the middle ages, to centuries into the future. ]

I haven't managed to determine what century we're in but I've certainly seen technology that is similar.

I was something of a traveller, yes.
