[ Initially, he'd intended to follow up on the information Hux had gathered during his own network post. Hearing the Empire's name bandied about with such casual familiarity was a cause for concern, however over the course of his investigations he'd uncovered something far more disturbing. ]

Question: has anyone ever been returned to their worlds, only to be drawn back at a later stage? If so, what state where they in upon their return.

@audio;

[warfares]

I think that that would more than qualify as unnerving. [ Dig deep enough into your Galactic history and you're bound to encounter the Rakata and their Infinite Empire ㅡ the Empire had fallen, as Empires tend to do, but not before having built devices that were said to be able to transport people over great distances. Teleporters.

Of course, the devices had been lost to time but it's enough to have him wondering if there isn't some way to track the Door back to whatever passes for its central hub. ]

And you remembered the previous time you had been here?

[wormintheglass]

Not until I returned. I'm not sure if that's a natural side effect of the Door or our hosts ensuring none of us lead their enemies back here. I was only away for five years. The memory alteration might have worn off, with time.

[warfares]

Enemies other than the Null?

[wormintheglass]

Who can tell? I mean, they could, but they undoubtedly won't. I'd be frankly astonished if it were only the Null wanting them wiped out, wouldn't you?

[warfares]

Given the little I've seen so far, I can't say they've endeared themselves.

[ This coming from a largely objective point of view, even. He's yet to really experience the joy of one-on-one interaction yet. ]

[wormintheglass]

I will admit I've become perversely fond of them, myself. This doesn't, of course, alter the fact that they're essentially obnoxious.

[warfares]

True of anyone that claims divinity.

[wormintheglass]

They're capricious creatures whose powers outweigh ours and whose technology we don't understand; isn't that the definition of a god?

My own ancestors have been gods of many more primitive races.

[warfares]

[ He considers this, debates the merits of arguing the circular logic but decides against it in favor of steering the conversation elsewhere, intrigued. ]

And what race might that be?

[wormintheglass]

They refer to themselves as Time Lords.
