friday afternoon; week 9

[tevinteriscoming]

[It isn't until Friday afternoon that Dorian manages to get away from his babysitters. It's been - infuriating, actually, to sit on this for over a day, feeling like a sullen child trying to sneak out of his house. But he knows he can't risk Adrien and Marinette learning of these communications. He trusts the two of them, of course. He also trusts that either could be a host for one of the parasites. Either way, it is best for him to keep the information limited for now to those who are already in on it.

He's with Grell, left in her supervision, but will go find Adam and Luke and have them brought back to his room to talk.]

[ Adam is quiet as Dorian knocks his idea, expression stony. Maybe Dorian has never seen it happen, but Adam has. ]

You're wrong. No, you can't ever reverse what happened, but it's not impossible. Sometimes it takes a sacrifice, but—what I mean is the servers and Furry Passing are... a connection to them. There's a hole in the barrier that separates the dead and the living. If we can expand that hole, we can get them through. It's a theory, but it can happen. I've watched it happen.

[ Yes, he got heated too. He huffs and looks elsewhere. ] No, we don't have enough information on the aliens. Right now we're going to have to start putting the pieces of what we do have together.

So—the Pelagic Genesis happened. Even before that, Harlan was some sort of group that existed. Plans to save Earth began to happen, and that's the original purpose of the Cradle Project, which goes into effect with the admiral leading it. Furry Passing is a part of it, too, including various ways to attempt to contact the dead. The souvlaki begin slaughtering the crew, we're some sort of final option meant to defeat them. We were apparently aware of this. How does that sound?

[He’s grinding his teeth a little and trying not to take offense. Death isn’t a thing to be reversed. He knows that. And yet he has to wonder now and he doesn’t like it any more the longer they keep arguing about it. It’s a conflict of interest, really. Granted he’s also a little more defensive when it comes to Adam and he shifts just slightly like he’s shielding him.]

I don’t know if expanding them is the purpose we need to focus on because we could very well expand too far and invite something in that we don’t need. Maybe that’s another idea how the aliens came through.

The rest of that sounds about right but what I wanna know is where our memories went. And furthermore…Harlan only mentioned saving Earth. Three of us are from some form of Earth but what about everybody else who isn’t? How do we explain that?
