Jenn's quiet as well, resting her chin on Bina's head.

A bit of putting herself together, then - "We should. Probably go see if she's okay to talk."

"Yes," Jenn agrees with a slight squeeze.

Bina starts heading back over to the Viewer.

Where Three's mostly gotten herself together.

"We have some questions," Jenn says, calmly enough, and still staying in contact with her Bina.

She rubs at her forehead. "Ask away."

"I think the first thing that's worrying us is the fact that the Moment seems to be finite, is there a way to fix that? Or build a new one?"

"Not with your resources. I used a fragment of the day that already existed to make it. There were enough in my loop. A few in Four's. None by Six's. Even for me, it would generate a tremendous amount of entropy to make a second - enough to threaten your loop's existence."

"And I guess that includes fixing it so that we're not in an ever shrinking cage?"

"It's kind of an inherent problem. I'm not sure why you're shrinking so fast, actually," she says, looking at something off screen, "Even with three living people and - a teenaged ghost - the rate of shrinkage should be slowing..."

"Unfortunately, no, that's not what's going on." Pause. "Can you tell us how the Devices work? The time machines, the Viewers, the Moment itself?"

" - The technical explanation beyond what's in the journals I left would take a very long time. The short explanation was actually conveyed accurately. Before I get into a digression, the Moment is currently locked down - I disabled the targetting systems. It's likely to become unstable soon. You need to reset it from within your controls; I'll explain how to do that. It'll involve stepping outside of the Moment briefly..."

In the background, the buildings are becoming noticeably odd.

Jenn narrows her eyes. "Is that supposed to be happening?" she gestures at the buildings.

"Not yet! How bad is the visual distortion?"

"Heat haze level?"

"That's bad but not imminently critical - the Moment's going to eject you guys soon, I don't know if I have enough time to explain how to reset it when it shuts down - It shouldn't be doing this yet - "

"Then I guess you should probably explain quickly."

"Or - I have a better idea!" Bina says, shaking out of her stupor and crowding into the screen. "Change what it does when it shuts down! Anyways, we were kind of about to die outside the Moment... And before we went on that jump..."

" - You're not at your PTP? No wonder - but," she looks down at her watch, makes a sort of 'ohhhhh' face. "Damnit I hate timetravel! None of this has actually happened yet!"

"-PTP?"

"Prime Temporal Position, where you're supposed to be - there's tension on your timeline if you're not at it, it increases load on the Moment and risks snapping you back."

"That would explain things breaking down faster than expected."

"You said you were about to die, what was happening? - I'll be able to change what it does from here, so it'll unlock when it shuts down instead of freezing."

"-Uh. The not-Ant had- just torn my shoulder to shreds, that's where my memory ends?"
