So.
Any theories yet?

Not just in regards to our being here, mind you, but for the disaster that seems to have befallen the previous crew here.
Personally, I'm starting to wonder if this station isn't a living thing in its own right.
But maybe that sounds a little crazy? Haha.

Please don't be shy to share your thoughts with me.
As a rookie detective, I'd be open to hearing whatever insights you might be able to provide.

Ah, that is true. Vacated rooms, unregistered watches, exactly two pairs of untouched clothing for every cabin.
And yet this station is clearly not new.
It feels as though the station was "reset" somehow between the disappearance of the last crew and our arrival.

I suppose the question in that case would be: was it the previous crew who prepared for us, or the station itself?
From the sounds of things... whatever happened here was rather abrupt.
I don't know if the previous crew had any reason to ready things for new arrivals, much less the time to do it.

Whoever dressed us all & left us lying round ready 2 wake up & start this whole sick experiment or whatever this is supposed 2 be
That's probably who

[uragiru]

So you believe it was a person, then.
And that everything was arranged deliberately?

Oh, but I'm not discrediting that as a possibility, by any means. Please don't misunderstand.
I'm simply interested in understanding what everyone's own theories are about this situation.
If we're going to move forwards, we'll probably have to work on assumptions about the purpose behind our being here.

[rehabbed]

I got no fucking clue yo
All I do know is we're being deliberately fucked around with

[uragiru]

It does feel malicious, doesn't it?
However... It's entirely possible that the means by which we were brought here and the reason we're being "fucked around with" are two different things.

There was a disaster here before we arrived, after all.
And if they believed whatever happened was enough to doom the world, it's not beyond the realm of possibility that it might be the cause behind the station's... strange behaviour.
Our displacement could very well be an accident.

[rehabbed]

Ok but what "world"? Earth? Some other colonised planet? Planet fucking Krypton?
Is that just some bullshit story we're being fed or r we actually supposed 2 believe that?
Why r we having our minds fucked with?
Why have some people found wires inside them?
Why are we hearing shit inside the walls? Bcuz there's something actually there or bcuz we're being messed with deliberately?
Why the hell did we all wake up wearing the same shit? Why can't we access certain parts of the ship?
Why r some of us hallucinating?
I mean seriously yo sure our "displacement" might b some freak accident but this all seems like one hell of a conveniently organised "accident"

[uragiru]

I doubt it's Earth, just because we appear to be in a different galaxy entirely.
By "world" they could mean a much grander scale than one single planet. This galaxy? This universe?
As far as we know, it could mean all universes in existence, which might be exactly how we wound up here.

My current theory is that reality has been significantly warped in some way by the disaster caused by the previous crew, and as ground zero, the station has the most fluctuations.
It's a little too convenient, as far as deductions go, but it would explain all of the things you listed.
The rift may also be malicious itself, like a virus, which is why it seems to be targeting us.
... Or it may see us as the virus, and is attempting to "purge" us from the system.

And, of course, it could all be a story we're deliberately being fed, as you suggested.
There simply isn't enough evidence to support any theory yet.

[rehabbed]

A rift? Like as in some quantum singularity thing?
Interdimensional black hole or whatever?

[ Thank you, Badger, for all your methed out Star Trek rants, which Jesse hated every second of. At last, it might actually have some usefulness in helping Jesse marginally grasp the concept of interdimensional spacetime continuum rifts. ]

[uragiru]

Yes, something along those lines.
Of course, I'm merely an ordinary detective from Earth in the year 2016, so this is all conjecture.
I don't have any real experience with events of that nature.

[rehabbed]

Me neither yo but my super limited understanding of shit like black holes & portals & wormholes & whatever is it would take a massive amount of gravitational energy or something insane 2 pull that kind of thing off
Like bigger than the gravitational pull of that huge ass planet out there that this ship is orbiting around
