"Different worlds run on different physics."

"I think the operative science is biology, not physics, but...you're saying that if your worlds have mutants you don't know about it?"

Permalink

"What is a mutant?"

Permalink

"A mutant is...a person with the X-Gene? And it does weird things to their biology?"

Permalink

"Can you give me a more - instrumentally oriented overview? What are the sort of things that mutants can do, what are some things that mutants definitely cannot do, what share of the population are mutants, is it inherited or voluntary or apparently random..."

Permalink

"If there are things that mutants definitely can't do we never had time to discover them--things the X-Gene can cause include  telepathy and control of magnetism and blue skin and shapeshifting and being covered in red fur and teleporting and firing plasma beams and telekinesis and being indestructible and weather control and white hair and green hair and green skin and blue hair and prehensile feet and turning into a diamond and--and--" and she breaks down crying.

Edie? 

Permalink

Found an alt of you, come say hi.

Permalink

Oh, cool. On my way.

"A new alt of me showed up," she tells her fiancé.

Permalink

"Oooh. With a me, or with a twin, or solo?"

Permalink

"...Maitimo didn't say. It'd be really weird if she didn't have a twin, although I grant she wouldn't have to have her with her."

Permalink

"Want me to come for saying hi or will that just add complications when she's already adjusting to Milliways?"

Permalink

"It should be fine."

Permalink

So he joins her.

And downstairs he says to the crying Edie-alt, "Bar can recommend drinks."

Permalink

"Mkay.

I don't know if any of the people whose abilities I was listing are alive. If any are it's not many."

Permalink

"I'm sorry. We're going to find a world with resurrection powers eventually, you can always stay here 'till then."

Permalink

"Oh, I'm not going back through that door. Not until I can be confident it's not suicide."

Permalink

"I mean, that we could fix for you much faster, I bet Edie'd fork a few more of Ada and Amelia for you and they could probably go take over your world pretty fast - demons and angels have really scary powers, an angel could just turn all the Sentinels into air..."

Permalink

"...If they're not mutants that could work."

Permalink

"You're the first world with mutants. But stick around a while anyway, one of your alts is getting married, I'm taking over the world, etcetera etcetera."

Permalink

 

"Married? To whom?"

Permalink

"My little brother. There's another set of 'em who are already married - and expecting, actually -"

Permalink

"Oh. That's--

I'm really happy for them."
