"...well the scouting mission was pretty much over, anyway," he says, trying to get his bearings. "Let's go?"

"Agreed."

Everyone back in their ship made of stone, which the new Sadde and Crystal might or might not find weird.

The Imperium is awaiting them.

Felix bears a very pained expression.

The emotional aura can't be seen here, but both Felix and Sadde can feel it reach out and sort of "touch" Felix gently once.

He's not paying attention. He's kinda staring.

"...oh. You have them," he says in a small voice.

You met another version of us?

"Yes" wow his aura's flaring now goddamn.

Felix is openly crying now.

What happened?

"I—I—are you happy? The four of you?—do you have a Katur?"

Okay Sadde's completely bewildered by this. "We're, erm, not together? And what's a Katur?"

And now he's crying, too.

Well, he can cry while Felix is holding him.

To their own Sadde he sends, He loves them. Loves them in a supernatural way. It hurts beyond comprehension and he has been missing them for a long time.

Oh.

He is not sure what to do but... if this person really is an alternate universe version of himself... He hugs the other Sadde.

Yeah the other Sadde will just sob and snuggle.

"...what exactly is going on, here?"

We are figuring it out, but it's obviously very emotional.

"—tell me when you're back to discussing novel magic, Ker Ullak should be able to reach me."

Off she goes. Most of the rest of the exploration crew decides this is as good a time as any to leave, too.

We will contact you promptly.

Fenris insues orders on what to do with the relevant data.

Meanwhile: new Sadde gets snuggles.

It's unclear whether that's helping.

So why exactly was he in supernatural love with other yous? local Sadde sends to the Imperium only. That sounds creepy and scary.

Don't have enough information on that. I can tell he is not quite human.

That's not surprising, most people aren't humans even in this universe let alone others. You aren't humans, even.

(Henry is still there, feeling awkward as hell, but not wanting to leave his friend alone in this weird situation.)

He is closer to an augmented than anything else and mentally boosted. Can't tell much else.
