Does anyone actually know how off-Barge contact yesterday was made possible? Or is that another Barge secret inmates aren't allowed to know about until they have a warden to check in with first?

That's fine.

[And Heero's keeping up easily, expression neutral and hands hidden in the pockets of his jacket. He's not really one for idle conversation. Or, conversation at all, really.]

[It's a shame that Eddie's so adamant about drawing him into a proper exchange. He's not deterred by short replies, as Slade will tell you.]

Lovely.

[Edward unlocks the door with his cane and is rewarded with the gentle pitter-patter of rain. He quickly steps aside to allow Heero entrance.]

Is this a new experience for you, or had your barge the same advanced technology as this one?

[Heero enters a little more cautiously then Eddie, but it's subtle. He doesn't display any particular sign of surprise or alarm, just neutral acceptance of what he's seeing, although it's certainly interesting.]

Not exactly. It's not artificial?

[Eddie keeps a close enough eye on Heero to notice little more than his neutrality. He's a very taciturn young man, for reasons Edward almost wishes he could forcefully uncover-- but he shouldn't pry, should he?]

Not exactly?

[Well, that was promising.]

It's a 'system', these environments are either fabricated by the ship itself-- which I wouldn't find at all surprising-- or it's a gateway, and we're temporarily able to trek over small portions of a natural, uninhabited world. Uninhabited by conscious creatures, that is.

[He gesture off towards a bird flying overhead.]

We have plenty of animals here.

[Heero accepts the explanation easily enough without elaborating on his own universe at all, nodding once as he tracks the bird with his eyes for a moment. There have clearly been odder things happening on the Barge then this, and he's not as surprised as he probably could be.]

Can the setting be controlled?

[The lack of reference to his own barge was disappointing, but Eddie liked a good mystery. He slipped his hands behind him and as they inched slowly towards the wilderness.]

It's spontaneous.

[He raised a shoulder in a very slight shrug.]

You can close the door on a winter wonderland and open it to a sunny summers day.

[Heero just nods. This isn't entirely dissimilar to the more natural environments installed in the colonies - in that there were some fairly nice parks and forests set up to give people in space some semblance of a natural environment, but there's no doubt this is more complex.

After all, what he was used to was more similar to sticking a plant in a pot and giving it water so it wouldn't die. This was apparently a real, natural environment.]

Can it generate anything man made, or just natural systems?
