Because the first two times he said it were not enough?

[bigstupidface]

I have been to a lot of completely impossible places. No. I mean it. You have no idea how many places I have been where nothing made sense.  And they still made more sense then this bloody island.  I am getting off. I will figure out a way to get off this island if it kills me. I can't just sit around and wait here for someone to come save us.

Especially when the person who usually does that kind of thing is stuck here, too, parking-space hopping.

That makes two of us.

[bigstupidface]

I have tried to get to someone in charge here to find out what is going on. I am beginning to think no one actually knows. They all just have guesses.

[Private]

[coinmover]

I tried as well. First politely, then through an assembly that could not be ignored. It was crushed, instead.

I'm through playing their game. But all but two others who think as I do have been released. Vanished.

There is a limit to what three of us can do.

[Private]

[bigstupidface]

Wait. So. You had other people behind you and they've vanished?

That sounds a bit convenient.

Not for you, I mean. But. How often does this 'vanishing' occur, exactly?

[[Private]

[coinmover]

Continuously. Heaviest right and the end of each month, but people disappear every week. Not many. Not as many as appear. And sometimes, the vanished come back, minds stripped clear of any memory of their prior stay.

I don't know how they take them. But I won't stay under a roof offered by the people who choreograph it all.

Beware Greeks bearing gifts.

[He gives a short laugh at that, though it's not a happy sound.]

I have not slept under an actual roof on this island since I got here. But I can understand why you wouldn't want to.

There is something very wrong here. I watched people die. Good people, that I knew. Except I did not know them before any of that pirates and naval officers ...thing. But I remember a lifetime where I did. And they are still dead. I am not even sure if they were people who lived here before. But they're dead now. And now the island is back to whatever it was before, and all of that still happened. But we keep moving forward like nothing did?

I have too many lifetimes in my head. I have lived too many lives.

I will not live this one. Not without my wife. And not without a fight for the one that I know is real.

[Private]

[coinmover]

Then we can help one another. We can make an effort no one else will.

You were torn away from your wife. I was taken from a fight for my people.

We both know what those are worth to us.

[Private]

[bigstupidface]

If I can find a way, I am going to pursue it. I intend to get off this island. Whatever it takes.

Until then I guess I just have to keep looking... and keep busy.

But I am open to ideas to getting out of here, if you have them.

[Private]

[coinmover]

The way off this island is in one of three places. The Visitor's Center. The supply warehouses. The back wings of the hospital.

None will be easy to get into. It will take a plan, and a fight.

[Private]

[bigstupidface]

The hospital?

That's... actually where I had planned to put in applications.

[Private]

[coinmover]

Superb.

If you ever need a roof over your head, Doctor... who?

Mine would welcome you. Although I would not mention that on your job application.

[Private] Hahaha

[bigstupidface]

Nurse... actually.

I'm - not a Doctor.

But I appreciate the offer. I'll keep it in mind.

Erik Lensherr.

If you look inland from the central plaza, you'll see where I live.

"Parking-space hopping?!" And just what is that supposed to mean, Rory? I am trying to get us off this island.

[Audio]

[bigstupidface]

It means why are we still here. I know you have gotten us out of worse than this before.

We're here and Amy isn't.

That's not something I can accept.

[His hand closes around the nano recorder]

I can't even... hear her.

[chronosexual]

I know that it's hard, Rory, but we're going to get out of here, I promise. I should hope that it won't kill you. You're too good of a person for me to let that happen to you.
