I've noticed the trend towards asking our fellow transports philosophical questions on this network. While I can't say I particularly see the appeal, there is something about which I am curious of others' opinions.

Namely - how would you define a home?

If it's not something you'd wish to talk about, there's no point in answering; similarly, I don't mind answering, myself, for the curious - it's only polite when asking, after all.

( before anyone bothers with either of those points. homes aren't something he's thought about in years, really, fairly certain of the fact that he doesn't have one anymore; but after eight months or more in exsilium...he's starting to, a little bit. )

I'm afraid I've never heard of either of those names - though that's not uncommon here.

[defeat_sorrow]

That's what I've heard. It seems so strange for there to be all these different worlds out there.

[ex_bandai157]

I take it you're a recent arrival?

[defeat_sorrow]

I am. I got here a few weeks ago. Right before that strange mission...

[ex_bandai157]

( aaaahahah, before the bodyswapping )

That certainly was one of the most inconvenient ones that have been assigned to us. I hope you didn't find yourself affected by the strangeness.

[defeat_sorrow]

Yes, I was. It was, um, interesting. It was definitely strange being in someone else's body.

[Especially one belonging to a succubus]

Frankly, it sounds terrible. I'm not sure if it would be easier or worse to be switched with someone you knew beforehand. The Initiative has a record for bizarre occurrences surrounding missions, but this last one was likely the strangest.

[defeat_sorrow]

It was a little terrible, I suppose. But no one got hurt, so it turned out all right.

What other sorts of bizarre things have happened here?

[ex_bandai157]

The last such mission left many transports either younger or older than they usually are, both in body and mind.

[defeat_sorrow]

Oh my... do they do all of this on purpose? It seems a strange way to go about things.

[ex_bandai157]

No, they don't. Sometimes these glitches have been, frankly, a result of their own incompetence; other times, they've blamed the UE.

[defeat_sorrow]

Hmm. It isn't very reassuring to know that the leaders are making those kinds of mistakes. Still, I'm sure they mean well.
