USER: #DC143C - QUESTION FOR EVERYONE

[ USER: #DC143C ]

Hey. So...

...

Question for anyone. Or for everyone I guess.

How sure are you that you're still alive? Back where you're from I mean.

Like on a scale from 1 to 10. Where 1 is "I definitely died" and 10 is "I'm definitely still alive" and everything in between.

Thanks in advance. I know it's a weird question. I just... I gotta know.



[He's asked some folks, but the results so far are mixed. And Keith needs to figure out one way or another if this is just some weird unexpected afterlife, and he's at a solid 2.5 on his own scale so he's wondering.]

You don't? So a whole bunch of us from a whole bunch of different universes all wound up here. But there are a few universes with definite clusters of people. Look I don't know about your world. But in mine there are literally billions of people. Now, assuming someone isn't standing next to someone else so it wasn't just something that affected a location like wrong place wrong time -- what are the chances that out of all those billions of people in that world, the "random accidental" folks that get kidnapped all know each other instead of, you know, any of the billions of people they wouldn't know? I'm no math guy, but it's a really small chance.

I think we all caught the attention of who/whatever brought us here. And some of us caught their attention along with our friends.

[Nope. Keith is firm on this. Accidents don't come with personalized network access and groups of BFFs. Keith will die on that hill. But Keith has a lot of hills to die on, such is life. What he's not yet sure is if this is malicious or some ill-thought-out cry for help.]

And get home.
