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 )

Probably for the best. Have other people, then?

[retrorsum]

No, but I'm used to being alone.

( and, of course, she's lying. there are some people here that river knows, one that is becoming her people. but river always lies. never tell the truth when you don't know the situation )

[Jenny is also used to being alone, but she's only ever properly alone for a short time before she runs into interesting people. Alone doesn't always equate to loneliness, she knows.]

Not really alone though, are you? Not when we're all in the same boat.

But has anyone responded in the positive to your question? Because bringing back the dead shouldn't be possible.

Well, mostly not possible.

[Maybe Time Lords are a weird exception? Probably. Seems likely. She's definitely not a zombie, so there's that.]

More than one person has. Though it could be that they were brought here from a point in their time steam prior to their death.

( like those other faces of the doctor's )

Yeah, seen that myself and it would make more sense. Still terribly dangerous, mind, but slightly less alarming.

Which is why I'd like to find out the real reason that we're here. It isn't a storm.
