bindsthedeadThat didn't go as planned. [Sabriel's voice is full of stunned exhaustion, and she's struggling to keep her composure.]
We were wrong. Lachesis is still around, but she's not in the Porter- she's part of this universe- or pieces of her are. The Porter is her creation- or her child, depending on how you describe it.
When she found this world, Earth 19-TS-59, they were already developing Porter technology- I'm going to assume that the story about finding it in the ocean was a lie. They had a foundational understanding, but they couldn't couldn't make it work yet- so she made contact with the president. She gave them the knowledge needed to create a working porter, and the first batch of imPorts arrived.
[Sabriel's speaking slowly- she doesn't fully understand or comprehend some of it, and that's a terrifying and exhilarating thought.]
Apparently she perceives time... differently. This happened when the first group of imports from the city arrived, but also years and years before it. And in entering this world, and parts of her merging with it, she changed it, not always intentionally. She's the reason the Porter cities exist, why the afterlife is so quiet, and there don't seem to be any aliens out there. To try to stabilize things, to stop them from changing too fast, she merged with someone in this world, and is latent within them. And whoever it is, it's not Lacey Chases.
And I think- I think we might have broken the Porter.
