[Alfie reaches out to put his palm flat against the barrier, which is still solid for him.]

You're not gonna be able to get us anywhere, mate.

[tadashiwashere]

[Tadashi stares for a long moment before tentatively reaching his hand through the space that Alfie seems to be pressing up against. He doesn't feel anything as his hand passes through and drops back to his side. Not even a tingle.]

Bio-encoded forcefield?

[He doesn't really expect an answer from Alfie -- it's directed more toward himself, tinged with disbelief.]

Why are they doing this?

[devoutish]

[Alfie laughs hollowly.]

If I hadn't seen your name on the walls, I'd've asked if you were new, mate. That's not a question I'd expect from a veteran of Norfinbury. Were things different in your day?

[tadashiwashere]

Sort of.

[After a moment of hesitation, Tadashi cards his hand back through his hair, leaving it in more disarray than it started.]

Back in the beginning, I guess we didn't know much of anything. Starving to death was one of the major concerns. No maps to speak of. It seemed a little more man against nature than man against malevolent intelligence.

[devoutish]

Coming back now must be something of a culture shock.

[tadashiwashere]

Definitely adjusting the way I approach life here.

[Especially now that it’s absolutely a long-term situation.]

Any pointers for the way things are now?

[devoutish]

Get used to this.

[He flutters hand weakly in the air, indicating the cell around him.]

Last time, I was on-- well, no, I wasn't on your side of things. I never found myself down here. I just watched it from the other end, over the network.
