[The twins are holding their clipboards and checking off things. They look up at Meredith] They're all beginning to access the plain of their own accord now, so it's time to officially begin the experiment! This one should produce better results than the Chimera experiment.

[Meredith stand still, voice light and careless] Perhaps we should explain some things to the subjects. It seems this may facilitate the progress of the experiment.

[The twins frown and tuck their clipboards under their arms in unison] Why do we need to do that?

I have previously given my justification. [Meredith gazes across the plane] We may find it beneficial.

'Beneficial'? [The twins give long, somewhat dramatic sighs] Fiiiine. If they really need to know...

[Turning away from the Twins, Meredith sets her gaze on those nearby] If you are inclined to ask questions of us, we may elect to answer them. Please direct all queries here.

So you're the local crazies.

I've only one to ask of you, madame. Why have you gathered us here?

[And you get the Twins] We're as sane as you are!

Where the bloody hell are we?

[And you get the Twins as well] Where do you think you are?

That doesn't say much.

I think I'm in a bleedin' observatory with all the lights on and some pompous, pissant little speck of a nonce is askin' me pointless questions, that's where I am. Now answer the bloody question!

How boring. So if this is an experiment, when's the fun going to start?

Maybe not. But it's the truth. So you're in good company.

[lucky Mu gets Meredith] It seems that individuals group together naturally, despite their seperation. Perhaps you gather of your own choosing?

[have a Meredith] Perhaps you shall create your own fun?

Forgive me if I seem rude, but I did not choose to come here in the first place, and by the astonished air of those I've spoken to, neither did they.

You may exit any time you like, though you may never leave.

I'm aware I may come and go from here at will, I would just like to know why I'm here in the first place...

...Never leave?

I was talking to someone, and we decided if you really wanted to make a place for people to meet, that a café would do a better job. So how about it?

Here's one, where's the switch to turn all these lights off?

Many people ask such questions. Few seem to find satisfactory answers. Perhaps that is because many do not realise where they truly are.

[a slow, amused smile]

Oh don't worry, I will. But since we're your test subjects, you must have a scenerio for us planned.

Madame, you are a thoroughly confusing woman. I seek only to know the meaning of this gathering. If I desired a lecture on the meaning of existence, then there is a man at home who could lecture me for years and be only halfway through.

The question I ask is simple. The answer should, then, follow suit.

[still smiling] It seems to me that 'why' is rarely a simple question.

Is that how it works in your reality?

Is that not how it works here?

With many realities, it may work in many ways.

But they're pretty! Anyway we can't. That's just how it is here.

[cover their ears] You're too loud. You are here. That's pretty obvious.
