"She's good at that! I am a causer of distractions, conveniently timed explosions, and situationally appropriate threats - really essential for anyone whose life ambition is 'scoundrel.'"

"An odd ambition to have, but it takes all sorts."

"I like odd folk. Best kind."

That seems like it calls for a high five. "Ditto!"

She high fives Glint, laughing.

Definitely two of a kind.

And Animus gets his daughter settled, checks her for mental tampering, gets the full story from her, then calls Occlus, over higher security channels.

"Darth Animus. This is unexpected. What can I do for you?"

"I discovered something unusual, that I think will interest you. Two people claiming to be from another universe, who demonstrated different powers than the Force provides - and one of them looked like you, with an almost identical Force signature, minus any indications of being someone who actually uses the Force."

"That is indeed quite interesting. How came you by them?"

"One of my daughters was traveling and spotted your double. They apparently noticed her bodyguard, who is a signature duplicate for the other visitor; they claim to have a teleport they were targeting for alternate universe versions of themselves, and it landed them nearby her."

"Where are you keeping them?"

"Near my main lab. The one meant for visitors."

"I will be over soon."

Occlus does not often visit Animus; their professional duties don't intersect much outside of the Dark Council. Still, she knows the way well enough, and how to get there while attracting a minimum of attention.

He supplies the visitors with an assortment of books and warns them she's coming.

They're looking forward to it.

And soon enough, she arrives.

Animus gives her as full a summary of their abilities and apparent culture as he has, before any introductions.

Ebele hangs around, since it apparently hasn't occurred to anyone to kick her out. Yet, at least.

Glint - or Lord Sheogorath, Daedric Prince of Madness if you want to be formal and all - is very excited by the new Lightning alt and is rather bouncy during introductions, though she successfully keeps to the formalities she's observed.

Darth Occlus wears a quite dark robe and resembles Ellayania to a startling degree, though her face is perhaps just slightly more symmetric. She brings a weighty feel of presence with her, as though there is more than one of her here.

"Well met indeed," she says after introductions. "I was not expecting such a... fortuitous occurrence."

"We have really weird luck as a group! Still, it's really awesome we found you guys so fast, usually it takes a ton of jumping around before we find anyone interesting."

"Fate or outside influence. The difference matters little, I suspect."

"Pretty much main difference is if there's someone intelligent to interact with, really."

"If they are open to the possibility of interaction, or if their intelligence is on a level that is at all comprehensible."
