Daniel realizes belatedly that the man, John Crichton, has offered his hand and is about to shake it when the strange cat creature comes up behind him and starts talking. He jumps just a bit.
He watches the creature curiously as it speaks, fascinated by this new being.
“Well, it doesn’t resemble any kind of limbo I’ve every read about,” he answers thoughtfully, “and there are quite a few. I wouldn’t imagine limbo would be this… specific to Earth, either, if you know what I mean. A collective madness or dream seems unlikely... it could be a collective illusion I suppose, but if you want to talk insanity I think it would make more sense that one of us is crazy and all the others, including them” he waves his hand vaguely to indicate Mickey and the Cat, “are simply figments of that one person’s imagination.”
He shrugs.
“I’ve experienced some pretty impressive virtual realities before… powerful enough to recreate memories and allow many people to interact and influence events. But I’ve also experienced alternate dimensions… so either seems plausible.”
As long as he takes the scholarly approach he’s okay; as long as he doesn’t think about the implications of his theories, he won’t panic. instead He squints at the cat-man.
“If you don’t mind me asking, what type of being are you?”
No worries!
