Quarantine
(( Intro post for Zechs Marquise. ))
Boredom is the bane of even our modern civilization, it would seem. Yet I would consider my situation to be somewhat extraordinary, as most individuals go; only very few people would be stuck in Martian quarantine for five days.
I may understand the necessity of the quarantine I had to endure upon my first arrival to Mars. Admittedly, at the time I did resent it - we had been in transit through space for a number of months, it seemed illogical that any illness we might have brought wouldn't have developed in the womb of our ship during that interval. But the reasoning otherwise was sound. I kept my grievances to myself.
But a quarantine when transferring from two separate Atmosphere Radiation Control stations?
Trust me when I assure you that I have been endeavoring to keep myself entertained. Yet here I am resorting to the Internet for amusement ... And it's only noon, of the second day of quarantine.
It's lucky that I have found this community, here. For I thought that most Internet communications would be 'lagged' and therefore the connection would be too slow for optimal transfers, save for electronic mail? Ah, as a journaling site, you must receive my posts at a later interval from when I originally sent them. Forgive me if my responses to your queries are slightly delayed, in that event.
This community, however, is a fascinating network of mostly fabricated identities, from what I have read so far. Am I supposed to be in on this joke? Claim that I hail from another 'reality' as well?
Fine, then, in my reality I am a mechanical technician on the Mars Terra Formation Project. And that is the only thing of interest about my person.
(( Paranoid Zechs is paranoid. But then again, one doesn't nearly annihilate billions of people and then later advertise their identity over the internet. For the curious, his hackable user information is here and they can find out who he is. :D ))

That explanation is certainly more sensical than those I have recently heard since joining this community. Certainly, if he has lost the ability to feel, it does not negate his existence. Is the process of returning his 'heart' to him also metaphorical?
no subject
I don't know. I want to help him but I'm not sure how he's supposed to get it back.
no subject
And perhaps, fighting a losing battle is what moves the hearts of the people.
Is more research on the matter required? As I have no personal reference or experience with these so-called "Nobodies" I do not know myself an answer for you.
no subject
I don't know where you could research it, you'd just have to ask them yourself.
no subject
Actually, I was attempting to offer advice to you. Unless I make the acquaintance of such people, I have little interest or reason to attempt to solve their malady.
no subject
There's not much else that I can do but ask what they know. As far as I know there's no libraries about it.
no subject
Someone, surely, must have conducted some study upon this phenomenon? That information may prove to be useful to you and your interests.
no subject
I think there was a guy researching it, but he was creepy.
no subject
Frequently scientists are, in my experience. Heaven knows why.
no subject
Maybe it's a scientist thing.

Noinmy co-worker calls me a pessimist, I'll refer her to this conversation.no subject
no subject
"Pessimistic" also, as I have noted above. Yet she is of the idealistic mindset that you and I have previously discussed.
