>/ You know, it's funny.
>/ I've seen this screen so many times, over so many years.
>/ I've seen the windows of information that fly by-- graphs, photos, documents, and so on. Journals, stories, vast collections of information...answers to questions both asked and yet to be.
>/ All this time, all these times, I've never gotten to really see what's on the other side.
>/ Pictures? I've seen them.
>/ Files? I've read them.
>/ Maps? Charts? I have them memorized.
>/ I've seen every bit of information we keep and consumed what could be as the collection grew. Many times over, in fact.
>/ I know as much as I could short of actually seeing it, actually being there.
>/ ...
>/ ...So why am I not satisfied?
>/ Something holds me back and I cannot seem to go anywhere but here.
>/ The images, the text, the stories I hear...
>/ ...It's just not the same.
