[ oh, she can definitely get going. and sam is only going to add fuel to the fire - he may not be a philosophical type, but where this is concerned, where all of this is concerned, is people. it always comes down to people. and that's not ever going to be something he can take lightly. ]

You're also talking about places that pride themselves in their knowledge- the Thorne library, the universities, whether or not they have it written, there's got to be people out there who have wanted to know where they come from.

But okay, let's go with that theory. That the first people were pulled here and then dumped here and everyone around us now are descendants from them. First, is that assuming it's all the Singularity? So the factions doing the Summoning and all that business is just...what, a farce? And second question- why? Why now? And why were they pulled before? [ sam gestures around them, briefly. ] This isn't a place that needs to be populated, there's plenty of magic and swords and people willing to do what they need to- so why us? And why now?

[ after another moment, he smiles - apologetic, in a way. almost as if he's aware of how intense he can come across when it comes down to it. ]

Just...if we're going to start looking into all this.
