I can look at the dockets again to see where there's overlaps, because each Earth has its own code in our system, but I think there's only a few that match up. Shoma and Mizuki, for example.
[ holds up a sign that says play library of ruina. i'll play roland one day, but he shares a few too many similarities to shu for me to do so too soon. maybe in a two week.... my tired man, my roland. ]
Same Earth, huh? [ interesting. ] Yuri mentioned she knows Rodya and Gregor, so they must all be from the same place too.
[ i was about to be like where is this going but i understand now. bring him to us someday we want him. "who is we" the royal we of mg. ]
Mm, there's a decent number from the same world even if it's not the same Earth. Mistral and Anguis, for example, or Turner and Bain, if I remember right.
[ adrastea sets their drink down so they can pull up their I.R.I.S., going to get the admin side of the profiles. they can't edit anything, but they can See. ]
Luck of the dice, maybe. But even that can be manipulated.
[ so, yes but no. ]
It's... interesting, to say the least. I'm not sure if they're alternate universes or just similar branchoffs - that's beyond my world and experience before now.
In the end, you just have to make your own luck, no matter the situation. [ shrug ]
You'd want Ganymede or Metis for that sort of thing, though. I completed my crash course on space travel and anomalies, but they're the ones that have their noses to the books in those regards - the rest of us leave them to those theories and explanations usually.
I’m not arguing with that. Some people are better at it than others.
[ hmmm. ] So, they’re actively studying things like alternative worlds rather than just getting the outline and working with that? Must’ve been something that sparked their interest there.
Considering the passengers on the Eudora alone, nevermind the people you or I may know personally... [ dry joke ]
Ganymede was already studying and traveling through space, before joining the Eudora, so they have an extensive knowledge of it. Metis just enjoys knowledge for the sake of knowledge, the way I enjoy answers, but I think they've been looking at anomalies like that. I'll learn what I can, but sometimes you're specialized in different means of knowledge than things like this.
I know that well enough. Everyone’s got stuff they’re good at. [ he’s the heavy. he couldn’t hack a computer, dissect a corpse, reconstruct a face or stand in court the way any of the others he knows respectively could. then again, they couldn’t snipe a man from 20 feet either, so… swings and roundabouts. ]
Mm, well. [ putting their helmed chin in their hand and regarding him as if debating the answer here. ] The knowledge that people hide between the lines, usually. Anything a person would start squirming to know that someone had sniffed out.
Sounds familiar. Information gathering’s only tangentially something I do, but it’s not foreign to me. [ he just found someone who could do it better than he could. ]

Even if a lot of things overlap? That's... specific, but kinda weird.

If it's luck of the draw, the draw really liked doubling up. Or tripling up.
no subject
For a manner of "luck," anyways. [ they tap away, until they get the right information they want. ] The three from "The City." Two each from Arpéchéle, Auldrant, Solistia. I was right that Turner and Bain are from the same world, as well. Only one instance of more than one person from the same Earth, and that's Shoma and Mizuki. The rest of you are from different iterations.

[ hmmm. he brings up the profiles to flick through them as well. ]
Not sure what I think about there being that many versions of Earth out there.
no subject
[ so, yes but no. ]

If you’re prepared enough, sure.
I’ve heard people claim weird things, but alternate universes isn’t one of them.

Oh? What means of knowledge do you prefer then?

no subject
Ah. Like the things people try to hide from the public eye. Good or bad.
no subject
Exactly that. It was part of my job, before the Eudora, but it was something I enjoyed anyways.
