I'm not quite sure I understand how this species works. B. Maybe C.

Just, it's weird.. and not the kind of story I'd want to spend my time listening to. whitestar1993 View profile Like Liked 0 Open in new window Statistics AVG.

Some of it where Orbis used to be. But you know something? We wouldn't notice any of it if it weren't for all those little pinpricks of light; planets and stars. And that's where I go whenever I feel sad. The next bit of light in the darkness. Keep on moving. Never look back. Well, hardly ever. — Eighth Doctor, The Scapegoat
