This is going to sound really weird when I say it out loud.

I was on a ship set for space, and we had to get everyone into escape pods, but the pod was crashing. So I just turned myself into water to soften the landing.

[killies]

It does sound weird. But also somehow reasonable.

[mygod]

Yeah. That wasn't a normal day.

[ just to clarify they don't normally go to space ]

[killies]

I'd hope not, if you were in escape pods that were crashing...

[mygod]

I don't know, maybe for other people that's a regular day...

[killies]

I seriously doubt it.

[mygod]

I don't know, some of the people here have really out there stories... it makes space sounds normal.

[killies]

Space, maybe, but not crashing.

[mygod]

Everyone landed safely!

[ ignoring what happened to them! ]

[killies]

Okay, that's good, but why were you crashing?

[mygod]

We were on a bigger ship that was going to space, but it was damaged. It wouldn't last very long. But the escape pod was also heavily damaged, so it was the only way to make sure that pod brought everyone down safely.

[killies]

Were you just going into space for research, or...?

[mygod]

... yeah.

We didn't even know we could go into space, is the thing. The sky was shielded by something that made it impossible to get through. My boss was the first person to manage to get through that barrier... that we know of.

[killies]

A barrier? Not just, like... Gravity?

[mygod]

Mmhm. If you try to go too far up, you get blocked eventually.

[killies]

Which means... someone must have made that barrier, right? Why?

[mygod]

No idea... the problem is that most people had just accepted it as the way things are, and didn't want to research it any further.

The person I work for was the opposite. She was obsessed with breaking through it.

[killies]

I guess you need people like that to make progress.
