And then one day, it was over.

The memory of how it happened was hazy. Perhaps it was as simple as being ported out, perhaps there was a great experiment, bringing together physicists, chemists, alchemists and scientists to get something WORKING. But like the memories of that time, that other dimension, singular events come and go, like a dream, or an age past.

From the very start, however, there were changes.

[ Miles shakes his head at that. A mental image drifts over: Miles feeling headachey right after his picnic with Aral, which had exploded into a chorus of voices when he'd gone to a local village afterwards. Telling Bothari. Feeling terrified of Da finding out. ]

No. It just started. I dunno what's making it happen.

[ This is hard to sort through at first. Gregor's brow furrows as he pieces together the flashes he sees, indistinct impressions.

He can certainly empathize with being afraid of Aral finding out. He doesn't think he would decry his son even if he was a mutant (that much is hard to miss) but it's also not something Gregor would leap to tell him, either. Rocking the boat that hard is... scary. ]

But you told Armsman Bothari? [ he clarifies, with some relief. At least someone responsible for looking after Miles knows. ] He can get you away if it gets too bad.

[ That relief flickers on Miles' end as well. For all he'd been terrified to tell Bothari too ... at least someone knows. ]

Uh huh. He figured it out. Or - more like he knew already. Said it was a wormhole accident.

[vorbarra]

A-- what? [ Gregor stares at him. ]

When did you go through a wormhole?

Never! 'cept when I went back to Beta Colony that one time, but that was ages ago.
