Given the rather interesting little bit of art that appeared overnight, I was thinking of getting a group of experts together to go and see what's what.

So, if any of you lot are exp- well, probably not experts. More likely aficionados, given this melting pot of realities - of extraterrestrial sightings, history, or any sort of symbology, really, give me a bit of an example of your work.

[... He's way too excited about this crop circle jellyfish thing, okay]

Ooooh its been ages since I've had something right up my alley. Ha!

Private to the Eleventh Doctor/the TARDIS

Fancy a bit of an adventure? Nothing much ever comes of crop circles, but those magnetic spheres they found seem... promising.

Private to Jack/Rose/Amy

Nothing like a bit of farm art to get back into the spirit of things, hm? [AKA: hi. You're companions. You have no choice but to tag along with him on this silly adventure]

Private to Edriss/Washu

Where you two are from, how often do crop circles actually turn out to mean anything?

Private to Jubilee/Mary/Sheldon

Interested in seeing a proper alien adventure? No little blue box, mind, but she'll probably be there, too.

Do you think it's any different here? Than rich kids playing pranks, that is.

Honestly, I don't think it can be out of universe. Theoretically, the Pull would tear anything out of the sky if it got too close, but that hasn't stopped boats from coming and going here, sooo...

ALIEN FILTER

[thefourteenth]

Of course it isn't.

[Patiently judging you.]

Rich kids from the Port playing pranks.

[Duh.]

ALIEN FILTER

[myselfexcluded]

You think anyone from the Port's capable of producing magnetic fields like that?

[....Well.]

ALIEN FILTER

There are many powers here, and many Newcomers with powers from home.

[She taps her chin thoughtfully.] Now that you mention it, there have been a number of electrical disturbances over the past year. All of them isolated and spread out- not really anything of note, but that could definitely indicate an active user of magnetic fields.

Whoever they are has a cliche sense of humor, too. Crop circles are a crock in most human societies.

ALIEN FILTER

Which I find personally insulting from the perspective of someone not from this planet.

ALIEN FILTER

Did you see my conversation with the Doctor about the Skrit Na of my universe? Even when aliens are responsible for those formations, they mean almost nothing.

Extraterrestrial graffiti, basically.

ALIEN FILTER

[thefourteenth]

Most likely. Their reasoning only makes sense to them.

If this was the work of actual "aliens", it'd be a welcome change in the Core.

ALIEN FILTER

[myselfexcluded]

I'd be more interested in extraterrestrial species actually from this system.

ALIEN FILTER

[thefourteenth]

Yes. That's what I meant.

If they could get here, that would mean that the Pull changed.

That's the thing about the Pull- it does let ships in and out, but I haven't been able to figure out the difference between the ships and us, unless it really is just a matter of us being seeped in Core radiation.

But theoretically, the Pull only extends outwards, not up. A spaceship landing on the island might be just the kind of thing we need to see for certain.

[thefourteenth]

There are allegedly angels on this island. If they can't escape, then the Pull must have an upper limit.

Still, the same rules extending to ships may apply.

[myselfexcluded]

So long as they're not irradiated, it could work. In fact, it might be worthwhile to put together a beacon to see if we can flag down any spacecrafts. It could be pointless, but, well, anything for the sake of progress.
