And how is she from Earth, there's no way she's from his Earth. It's all wrong. And there goes the last of his air. Things are almost amusingly fuzzy.

"Give it a second," he rasps. He hates it when this happens. It's the most stupid warning shot in existence. And of course it works across dimensions, or whatever this is. "Sorry," he clears his throat. "Sometimes have trouble breathing. It's a bit annoying when it happens in the middle of something. You were saying, you're from Earth as well? Whereabouts?" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're one of the ones who weren't there, then?" Martin really doesn't like this. Nothing is right, this woman doesn't seem upset about anything, and his warning shot just went off. He's lucky that he seems to have deflected the questions about Earth's location. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were... multiple attacks. Very bad ones. The entire west coast of Europe and most of Africa is gone, and the rest of it's pretty unliveable. A lot of people got out, though." Martin remembers the claustrophobia of the transports, the panic of the screenings. It had been rough.

I explain to the three of you what you're going into by coming with me." He tries to keep her from going. "We go." It's not a good plan. Not in the slightest. But he's cutting it, and daily electrocution just isn't good for him. "It's possible we'd have to leave this war behind. Abandon these people." He knows that that might not be something she's willing to do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
