"Oh come on, dun you know sci-fi? Okay, okay, I'll make it simple," Roxy said. "Now, citing 'existence is vast and huge and it stands to reason everything exists somewhere' because explaining how it exists is this whole big story, I was in a micro universe. More like ultra pico, because the whole of it was 'bout the size of a small solar system. That's why I know this ain't the universe I was in because that one?" She pointed out the window, at the view of space. "Didn't have STARS." Which, you know, brings up a whole lot of questions of how the planets even existed in the Medium, but Roxy really had more important things to do at the time. "And the void between universes ain't exactly easy or quick to travel through if you dun got a shortcut. Portals are more likely to key into 'em than norm space travel."
It really was. Roxy was almost tempted to say yes because, well, she WAS the only scientist where she was from. Dirk was really more of an engineer, but funny aside, that brought up questions she didn't want to answer. "These? Nah, this ain't anything to do with me being a scientist, this is Grade A Shenanigans outfit. Has to do with that whole long story thing, but fuck it, they're self cleaning, comfy, and got shit to do, I'll go 'round in the pjs."
There was a bit of a....stutter to her form as Amanda said she never heard of the Condesce. A sort of tension, confusion flickering across her face as she quickly glanced around the ship. Then....it all melts away and there is almost relief. She smiled a bit crookedly and shrugged. "All the better for ya, I guess. She's kind of a megaseabitch. Dun play nice with others."
Well, come on. She said time travel was relative. How can Roxy not laugh at a science joke like that? "Ya didn't? Weird, would think the computers would be keyed into that. Or ya don't monitor the systems? Sorry, Lil Hal just always did, kept him from going stir crazy. Fuck, is that racist against computer peeps? That might be racist. Sorry."
"Not surprised. Two are heavily involved with time travel, and the other is void work. Both of which are headache inducers to the extreme, and takes a bit too much intuition than I think most science would like to do? Shit's hard if you're not willing to trust your gut."
