[ Kylo's expression is tight, his eyes intensely sharp- and those who have seen him before will note something else, too. His face is scarred- a long, neatly healed line running right over it, from his brow down to his neck. ]

Thankfully, he hasn't taken his clothing off for the occasion. ]

I'm back.

[ That's it. ]

Oh! Is there anything more frustrating than a great power that refuses to even begin to explain itself?!

[She leans backwards and seems to nearly flip backwards off her chair before she springs back and hunches close to the screen.]

Did this Lachesis show herself? It sounds as though there was fighting, if people were killed - what did they fight?

[ He frowns slightly, watching her. ]

No. It wasn't like that. The Porter deactivated. Without it... we began to fall apart. Our existence here is dependent on its power. She punished us by taking back her... gifts. Warping and distorting us, our abilities. Reopening our wounds.

[Sometimes Hange doesn't sit still very well... She picks up the communicator and turns it back and forth, as if moving the machine could shift his image too, and she could get a better look at him that way.]

Interesting, interesting... and disturbing! And for all that offense, she didn't just pack everyone off home again?

[photophobic]

No. It seems we are necessary for her purposes, and she believes us suitably subdued by our suffering.

It was a more than adequate demonstration.

[aberrant_type]

And was there some revelation of what those purposes are?

[photophobic]

If there was, I wasn't told.

[aberrant_type]

A great mystery! Well, I have things I'd rather be doing with my time, but that is interesting, at least.

Who are you?

[photophobic]

I am Kylo Ren.

If you discover a means of avoiding being sent back, contact me.

[aberrant_type]

Certainly. How do you prefer?

[photophobic]

Generally, text. I have no hard preference.

Excellent, excellent. Good to meet you! I'm sure I'll see you around.
