[ There seemed to be an even mix of realities where Earth was abandoned and where humanity had turned it around and Earth was a beacon. Lots of butterfly wings and Schrodinger's cats to theorize about, no doubt.

In response to the question, Adrien pursed his lips and allowed himself a pensive look; since Bruce couldn't see it. ]

I'm not sure how long I was lost in the Ingress, between my first trip here and now, and time is measured differently in different universes. [ And time on the Neheda seemed ... quite long; though in truth it was short. ]

I was on the Neheda for close to six months by that calendar but those were usually counted in seventy two hours increments. Add in the months I appear to have lost in the Ingress, convert to an Earth twenty-four hour scale ... [ he paused, counting ] about two and a half years.

The Neheda? [ By both his tone and his expression, it was obvious that the name wasn't unfamiliar to Bruce, and that hearing it was a bit of a surprise. Even if it shouldn't be by now, what with how many people he'd met already who'd been previously taken there, and only afterwards came here. ]

That makes you... uh, the fourth person I know to have come from there, if I'm remembering right. [ It was almost as if there was some weird link there, even if the vast majority of the crew had never been on that other universe before, and a few coming from there hardly counted as much of a pattern. ]

You know Tali? Niko? They were there, too. Not sure for how long exactly.[ His tone dropped, but he tried to keep it light. ] The Ingress must have taken a liking to that ship.

[ Adrien tensed, though of course Bruce couldn't see that but the way he held his breath, as if waiting for ... something, may have been telling.

It was only a brief pause, because Bruce continued to talk, mentioning Tali and Niko, both of whom Adrien knew and there weren't any recriminations being flung at his head. He cautiously began to relax a little.

Or at least as much as he ever relaxed. ]

I know both Niko and Tali. In fact, I arrived on the Moira with them back when the Ingress first began to pull people through. I just happened to go back into the Ingress for some reason.

[ He had no memories beyond having been on the Moira and then back on the Moira. Though from what Niko had said, he'd been gone for a few months at least and this time, Courser had come back through with him. ]

Who is the fourth?

[hyperkinesia]

[ He knew some of what happened on the Neheda, after all Tali had openly shared her experiences in hopes of finding a bridge to connect to Bruce, to relate to what he'd gone through. One couldn't say it was exactly the same, but he appreciated the effort anyway; and he ended up getting closer to her in the process, to the point of considering her a friend, so all in all, it wasn't so bad.

He certainly never blamed her for any of it. It wasn't her fault, after all— or anyone else who had been taken from their universes and into that one, for that matter. ]

So you were here before too?

[ Though evidently not long enough for Bruce to have met him. But that wasn't so strange. Even when there were fewer people on board, Bruce still didn't get to meet all of them. Nowadays it was even more difficult to keep track of everyone. ]

Ratchet. I haven't really talked to him at length, but I know he was on the Neheda too before coming here. Do you know him?
