[At first what Dax is saying is completely incomprehensible--a good ear for languages may notice it's the same language the worker units are speaking. Dax has some sort of device in his hand, though, and after fiddling with it a little eventually his words become understandable to anyone listening:]

--Testing, testing--aha, there we are. Alright--well, to get this out of the way for our new residents, I'm Dax, and I'm an administrator of the Tower. Anyway, as you may have noticed, we're having a few minor malfunctions when it comes to our usual translation process which wasn't helped by having to divert all that power to quarantining and scrubbing radiation. I'm using a portable device to translate this to all of you and to translate any of your responses, but it's a bit fussy.

We should have everything fixed within a day or two, however! If you have any questions, feel free to ask me.

[He sounds just a bit nervous about the prospect of Q&A, though. It's as if these situations often bring long discussions and arguments, or something.]

[He's locked this as well as he can. He does have a question and he'd rather ask someone who might have more information than just a single captive.]

I'm just wondering if you know of how many people here have quantum brain waves or something that can interfere with my own brain waves in a similar way. There was an... incident, shortly after I arrived, and I'd like to know so I can attempt to avoid similar incidents in the future.

What incident are you speaking of? The abilities many here have are very different even if some of them have similar names.

When someone who has a similar wavelength to their brain waves comes near me it causes extreme pain and psychic disturbance, to the point where... well. My other personality takes steps to remove the source of the disturbance.

[That's as clinically as he can put it.]

[animusnpcs]

That sort of thing would be hard to define with a number, given the different worlds at play. We could remove that from you, but Jason would have to do it.

[It's a good thing this isn't video or Riki could see how very pale he just got.]

N... no. I guess I'll just have to be careful. Thank you anyway.
