You represent material ejected from your worlds before it's destruction. and we needed to scan living and unliving ejected material for simularities in quantum resonences. We've found no source of destruction but possibly we've found how to predict what world is next."Babble. Gobbledeygook. But she wasn't smelling any malice. The fear and confusion of her fellows was thick in the air, but aggression...not so much. As Vela relaxed a bit, the darker stripes faded from her face and bodysuit. The garment had the look of some kind of thick, slightly rough leather with small carapaces over the major joints; shoulders, elbows and knees. Despite having no apparent joints or folds to allow movement, it stretched and contracted effortlessly to match the movements of its host.As much as Vela hated to admit it, there HAD been a strange moment before things had gone white, hadn't there? When things had been...changing around her. One moment the fire was there, the next it was long extinguished. Her bedroll was open, then it was rolled and ready to go. Then -missing-. Was that what he meant by 'material ejected from your worlds?'"I don't understand," Vela says slowly, getting up off the bed to stand next to it. "Why were we 'ejected'? What's happened to everything else? The people I know. The things that aren't with me."</blockquote>
