I'm looking to gather information. Fill out the form below.

What is the name of your home planet? Do you know the specific designation of your universe?
What is the year in your native world?
What is the level of technology? What is the most advanced thing you know of?
Did you possess abilities prior to arrival? If so, how much of those abilities have you retained?
What power have you been given?
Do you have any form of criminal record?
Do you have any special skills that could be used to our advantage?

Wouldn't that be convenient.

[ no?? someone would be dead?? ]

Have you performed an autopsy before?

[ "can i call u if i find a body" ]

[batricide]

[ autopsy is a strong word, more like, extremely illegal dissections and tampering with crime scene evidence. ]

Yes.

[retravel]

[ mmmm hmmmm ]

Was this your first vivisection?

[batricide]

[ It was probably the first where the guy got up and walked away at the end. ]

No. My medical training was unorthodox, but thorough.

[retravel]

[ i mean, mood. ]

That's encouraging.

[ not sarcasm, actually. ]

I'm more classically trained, but I've cut my teeth on some unorthodox projects.

[ in the interest of sharing their skillsets, as damian suggested at the start of this post. ]

[batricide]

For your sake, let's hope we have different definitions of unorthodox.

[ Seriously. He can do guerrilla medicine and can stitch up a wound like no one's business, but his knowledge is mostly combat oriented. How to hurt people. He can work in reverse to fix them, but that's not the most effective. ]

You mentioned you were dealing with people from an alternate world to yours. Did you identify where the timelines may have diverged?

[retravel]

I'm almost certain we do.

[ taking people apart piece-by-piece isn't a common cv builder — but neither are the surgeries he and jemma have performed in emergencies. ]

Before our lifetime, it seems. We're the ripples.

[batricide]

Is this a common thread here?

[retravel]

No.
I haven't spoken to anyone else whose universes resonate like A1 and A2.

[batricide]

You are now.

[retravel]

[ is this... love? ]

That is the best thing you've said yet.
Tell me everything you can.

[batricide]

There are three that I've counted.
E1. Further along the timeline than the other two, but different enough that it's not possible for it to be an issue of time periods not matching up. This world has already interacted with an echo, none of the people here are not from that echo.

E2, who only has one inhabitant that I've met. The year between our worlds appears to be the same, but none of current events are. It has the same key figures as E1.

E3, has more. It appears to be nearly a decade earlier, but to my understanding most of the people are roughly the same age as they are in E2. Again, none of the same current events. It has the same key figures as E1 universe, but motivations appear to differ.

[retravel]

This is exactly the data we need. Five universes can't be a coincidence — that's a veritable symptom.

[ similar universes being drawn here or, perhaps, targeted. god damn it, he needs to ring loki. ]

I've been wondering if people from the same universes but different points in time are actually from parallel worlds about to diverge. You information bolsters that theory as well.

[batricide]

[ From what he understands, Kara and Jason had both been under duress when they were pulled from their world. And while he'd never admit it aloud -- he'd been at his very lowest point. ]

Perhaps they're from moments when the stability of the timeline are at its weakest and the subject is at its most vulnerable.

[retravel]

[ Oh, that winds him more than any other theory.

Was he at his lowest now, mind unmoored and self, disintegrating? A crisp voice echoes in his head, Don't be weak now, boy. ]

Two of A2 were pulled from stable but pivotal moments.
Three of us are as you describe it.

[ Stark, Strange, Fitz. ]

[batricide]

If not emotional duress, then moments of stress or intense emotion?

[retravel]

For one, it was the aftermath of an traumatic event.
The other was more routine.

[batricide]

Routine?

[retravel]

Just everyday business.

[ for a spy. ]

[batricide]

I'd be interested to see if that's the exception or the rule.

[retravel]

Yeah.
I think you've got an eye for this research.

[ it's a compliment, rare for him to offer. ]

[batricide]

[ A pity he has absolutely no bedside manner or people skills. ]

It comes from experience.

[retravel]

That tends to be the best teacher.

[ a beat. ]

You know how to contact me, if anything of interest comes up.

[ an alliance proposal ]

[batricide]

The same goes to you.

[ He seems intelligent and reasonable.. Someone who recognizes that life can't be lived through sheer idealism.

That's needed. ]

[retravel]

I'll keep you in mind.

[ go team pragmatism. ]
