As she worked Rende took in what they knew, both from the initial information gathered before they came down and now as the events unfolded. Something was nagging at her, and over the centuries (wouldn’t the rest of the ship have a heart attack if they knew) she had learned to trust her gut. Dropping her voice to a just barely audible whisper (as this activated her person to person comm unit), Eldorin would hear her in his ear, “Eldorin, isn’t this a little reminiscent of say, Belfast 1974?” One piece of hold-over El-Aurian technology that she and Eldorin still used.

He cleared his throat and spoke in an equally low volume and he breathed in slowly before exhaling, “It does, and here I thought we put that life behind us long ago.

The surface similarities are too obvious though. We have no way of knowing though, with this advanced technology, what the sides really look like. The armory chief and your En El were joking about alternate time lines and universes…like it was fiction. They have no idea. They have their own language but also very similar to Earth. Could that be a possibility?” Eldorin was a brilliant engineer and had a mind for bigger picture tactics. But if this was a mess up in the time line, they might could fix that.
