[There are a lot of questions, a lot that she's had answered just by being here, but there is always more than that. It's why she comes here today. Lightning isn't great at this means of communication; it seems more like it's suitable for someone else, someone not her, but here she is.

Some part of her realizes her questions will be telling, especially for Hope, but they are necessary. They're important to understand. Not only her situation, but this world's situation.]


I come from a world that was in danger. A different danger. Our war had long since passed, and what remained was somewhere that ... [She struggles with the words.] Use your imagination. [That works.]

What I want to know is the source of this war. Who's leading it? Why is it happening? [As a military adviser, she has a feeling it'll be important going forward, but she wants her fellow imPorts' opinions first; it feels important. This is their lives, too, after all.]

I also have some questions about the flow of time. A friend and I ... we're from different points altogether. He's from my past. But the past itself is shaky. Is that the same here? Should we consider all points in the timeline one and the same?

[What else should she add? There's a sound of uncertain shuffling, in part because she's impatient with herself for not knowing what to say right off the bat.]

... Right. I'm Lightning.

Time back home doesn't count here. I'm not even sure time here counts here.

And are you part of a rock band or a cult or something?

It's a whole lotta hush hush. [Kuzan was splayed out on a bed, yawning after he spoke up.]

Better wait a bit 'till you rise in ranks.

That's as much as I cared to read. When I asked for more details, they said I'd have to wait, but-- I'm getting the impression I could find out more if they let me out on the ocean a bit.

[He shrugged.] Reconnaissance is a necessity of war, isn't it?

We're being advised to stay within the main cities made accessible to us. It's 'encouraged', which means it's probably really frowned upon.

So, it probably means they don't want anyone to really know about us. Though, that's not that big a deal. It would offer more protection for the ones who don't want to fight and an element of surprise to those who would.

You're named after a natural disaster.

[She sound impressed.]

Everyone here would like you to think time stops back home when you show up here, but no one has any way of proving it. It's all guesswork, so for all we know, you could be from different timelines altogether. And subsequently doomed forever. Sorry.

I'm not that optimistic.

Nah. When you're doomed, you're doomed, although depending on your perspective, it might be better that way.

Arara. Guess I'll put in a request, then.

[So, it wasn't really any different from the usual parameters he was given.]

I don't really need a ship, so I don't really have to requisition any equipment, but it'd be nice to get approval so I don't get bothered by anybody.

You don't have to worry about home when you're here.

This place has a way of making any time but its own seem meaningless after you've been here long enough. Whatever the truth behind it is, anyone who says they can tell you definitively is a fool or a liar. [ She pauses. ] What do you mean by "shaky"?

You're from one of those future world things, huh.
