Nightshift 26: Hallway Outside M41-M80 Block

[from here]

Armand spared a glance back over his shoulder at the hallway outside the bathrooms at the end of his own block but didn't see anyone so he pushed open the door (to his left instead he realized) into the larger corridor he remembered well from last night. There was a door immediately to his right. So far everything was still quiet. That made him nervous. He wanted to find Javert as soon as he could.

"Auldrant?" That had to be at least the second or third time Claude had heard that name since his arrival. He wondered if it was in the Theta Sector. Considering they hadn't explored all the planets within that area yet, it was very well possible. Actually, it almost had to be, considering they were on Earth. Why would anyone go through all the trouble to bring people from somewhere beyond the Theta Sector to a place like this?

"You're not the first people I've met from there," Claude remarked after a brief moment. "You guys just developed airships, right?" If that was the case, then it couldn't be classified as an underdeveloped planet by Federation standards. All they'd need was the coordinates of Auldrant, and they'd be ready to initiate some sort of first contact or something. "Your planet might be closer to learning about space travel than you think."

Not that they'd be doing any of that as long as they were stuck here, but Claude still thought it was a pretty interesting idea.

"As for why I think I went back in time," Claude continued, looking over to Asch now, "well, I noticed some old publications in the front of the building. And by old, I mean hundreds of years. At first, I thought they were just novelty items being kept around for the heck of it. But when I went into the game room this afternoon, I saw all the stuff being kept in there, and while it was all in great condition, the technology itself was practically ancient.

"If this is really Earth, which I'm sure it is, then we're either at least four centuries in the past, or our captors are playing a pretty ridiculous joke." Claude paused, frowning a little. His head was practically buzzing as he tried to piece everything together. It was definitely possible to manipulate time, but Earth didn't have the means to do it from the point he was from. Did that mean their captors were really from the far future?

"You guys might not be in your original times, either," he added quietly. "A lot of people have been suffering from memory lapses around here, and I think that's why. No one's forgotten anything. They just haven't lived through the things their friends have yet, that's all."
