Case #46: Video

[19centconstable]

[See this icon? This icon is George exactly. Sat at his table. Head in his hand. Not looking terribly amused.]

Well. If I ever wear a dress again, it will be quite too soon.

[If you are keeping track, that's twice in one month now.]

[19centconstable]

The force was corrupt, as you say. But they were all sacked in 1859. Things are quite different now in 1898.

[sharpememory]

Wait, what? Are you sure those are the right dates?

[19centconstable]

They are for me.

Are they not for you?

[sharpememory]

I'm way up in the 2000s. So those dates are a bit surprising.

[19centconstable]

You're surprised that that is when I'm from?

[sharpememory]

Yeah, I am. I haven't met anyone like that before.

[19centconstable]

There were a few other Victorians on board at one time, but they've gone now.

[sharpememory]

I don't think I ran into them. This must be really strange for you, living here.

[19centconstable]

I find it quite exciting, actually.

[sharpememory]

I guess we're like science fiction to you.

[19centconstable]

I hadn't ever thought of it like that... Fiction is, well, fiction.

[sharpememory]

But I guess you've seen stuff here that you might have read about in fiction?

[19centconstable]

Yes, but here it's real. And I've always thought that anything might become possible, given enough effort.

[sharpememory]

Even a barge flying in space?

[19centconstable]

Well I'd known spaceships were real. The evidence is irrefutable.

[sharpememory]

I guess where you come from they might be something that you see a lot more.
