[Console: Video] Soul Gem Kedan

[wolfstrike]

[The man appearing on the screen is one Yuri Lowell, but anyone who knows him might notice that there's something different about him. It's subtle, but it's there. A certain look in his eyes, as if he'd been through some really tough battles. Even his voice sounds a little worn.]

Hey guys, remember those Kedan with the soul gems that disappeared and we dreamed about being in some of our worlds?

Well, they actually are there. Milyn sent me home for awhile and I saw the one I dreamed about and talked to him. At the time I had no idea who he was and didn't remember until I came back. But he definitely knew who I was.

Did he say how long he'd been there? I wonder how their timestreams are matching up with ours...

[wolfstrike]

Months. Definitely long enough to pick up some of our language.

[Tony looks thoughtful.]

No time passes for us in our worlds as long as we're here. And if we go home temporarily, how long we spend there doesn't seem to affect how long we're gone from here. It's pretty random. But it sounds like the kedan are spending as much time in our world as they're gone from this one. The timestreams are matched up for them. I wonder if that means anything.

[And he wonders if that's true for every kedan who's gone missing. That would definitely be an interesting pattern, if so. He's not sure what it might mean, but it's worth noting.]

[wolfstrike]

I dunno, but it sure is weird. I spent months back at home too but it had only been two days here. But when I woke up it was like I had physically spent that time there. I've got the marks to prove it.

[He really doesn't understand this stuff at all. He only knows what he experienced.]

[highprofilerichkid]

Yeah, weird is the word for it. [Tony sighs.] I just hope we can figure out how to get the kedan back before someone figures out how to sends all of us home.

[It would be awful if the soul-jemmed kedan ended up trapped permanently in all the foreigners' various universes.]

[wolfstrike]

Well I'm looking for that guy's family. Who knows, maybe I'll stumble across some clues.

[That would be pretty convenient if he did.]

[highprofilerichkid]

His family. Good idea.

[Tony realizes with a stab of guilt that he'd never searched out the family of the kedan boy who'd been transported to his world. He should... probably do that. Even if there's nothing he can do, yet.]

If you find anything out, let the rest of the foreigners know. And... maybe everybody else, too. The kedan should know we haven't forgotten about their missing people.

[wolfstrike]

You can count on it.
