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 )

I couldn't say. I dont know when you're from as a point of reference.

I'm the wunderkind from 1985. Speaking frankly it's a miracle that i can work a phone with no buttons on it, praise be

That's not the most miraculous thing.

[summertimeblues]

And so the real miracle must be...?

How well you're taking aliens in your stride.

[Meaning she's an alien?

Ugh. Figures.]

I've been here a year. You learn to expect the most ridiculous explanation as the most probable one.

The scotch helps.

( if she knew he thought that she'd be surprised at where the thought came from. humans never remembered any of the occasions that aliens had visited earth, not unless they really paid attention and they never did )

Good scotch helps in any situation.
