Tara: Of course, Kindron. I'd be happy to run that scan on you and Mr. Tenzo. She says with a bright smile and the tone of curiosity. Tara then begins the scan on Tenzo and Kindron.

Zelpharia: Hmmm.. interesting theory, Kindron. That would make this more interesting than Jack and Malcolm. Two incarnations of the same person except one of those version shouldn't exist because his timeline was erased. That future you is now a temporal anomaly which makes the case interesting. Zelpharia says with a thoughtful look as she ponders what Kindron has suggested. She then looks to Tenzo. Zelpharia: Basically there is a chance that you are a future incarnation of Kindron here, but you shouldn't exist because your future was erased. Somehow you were drawn into my time traveling ship and contained as pure temporal energy until fully manifested and created into a temporal anomaly.

Vladimir raises an eyebrow with interest to hear what the scan results are.

It had been weeks since Kindron had arrived in this strange world, trying to avoid being killed or grabbed by the creatures. He was still alone, unable to find anyone who might know how to fight the system of this realm. But weeks was just an estimate. This world had a strange sense of time that was never consistent. Some days would be less than four hours long, while some would be up to 40 hours long. Kindron hadn't figured out how time works in this world, even now. But then again, it was only one of the many things Kindron hadn't figured out. Time seemed to move very randomly to Kindron's senses, and he hadn't figured out if there was some kind of entity or laws that governed time in this realm.

Kindron had spent the first few days hiding in fear, hoping that he wouldn't be taken, or if he was taken, that death would be quick.

But after a week of hiding, and seeing or hearing the people being taken or killed, something inside Kindron broke. His fear of the unknown ended.

Kindron's fear was replaced by something else...

Rage.

Kindron hated this realm that had dared to turn him into a coward.

Kindron hated this realm that made no logical sense.

But most of all...

Kindron hated himself. For his cowardice. For his inability to help the people here.

And that's when Kindron decided: He wasn't going down without a fight. This world had broken him, and it was going to pay for that.

If this realm wanted to take him or kill him, they'd have to earn it. And Kindron was going to do anything he could to hinder this world's operation. Even if it doesn't amount to anything, he was going to fight back until he either found a way home or died. Even if it was just a minor inconvenience to them, Kindron didn't care.
 
And that's how Kindron made the decision to rebel against this realm. Even if he stood alone. And to do that, Kindron had to learn about this realm, which he did learn a few things about the realm.

One thing Kindron had figured out had been that the light during the day had something to do with how people were being chosen by the jellyfish. Kindron hadn't yet figured out how it worked, but watching people, he'd noticed that the light had some kind of effect beyond just pacification. Kindron had noticed the first night that the pacifying effect of the light disappeared at night, and had further deduced the next nights there might be a reason for that. Kindron had theorized it had something to do with the blue light returning at night, which may act as a counter to the orange light during the day.

Kindron had also figured out that he could plant cell phones and cameras outside and around town. For some reason, cameras and phones worked normally. When Kindron took videos of the daytime, he had noticed screens showing what light the cameras captured didn't have the same effect that the light had with direct contact. He had figured out that while watching something on monitors or tvs, or even on cell phones, that the orange light lost its pacifying effect. When he watched something on a screen, the light was normal with the cameras even capturing the absent blue light that couldn't be seen normally during the day. To Kindron, this meant that the blue light wasn't gone, just covered up by the pacifying orange light.

Kindron knew the orange light had affected him since coming, and he theorized that's why his memory was disappearing randomly. He'd forget hours at a time, and just be somewhere else when he came to. He knew that the light he had been exposed to on arriving had stuck with him. Thankfully, he wasn't losing his memory during the night when the attacks happened. And Kindron had been theorized that blue light may have been the key to fighting the orange light, and the orange light may be the key to fighting the blue light at night.

Another thing Kindron had figured out had been that every day seemed to have new people dropped into the world when daytime hit. Kindron had tried gathering people to help fight, but to no avail because everyone always succumbed to the fear of the creatures at night. Every new person eventually gave up fighting against the world when they saw how hopeless it was and would retreat to find places to hide in hopes of avoiding being taken by the jellyfish. But Kindron had been watching for new people, not just for people to join him, but for anything that they figured out about the realm that could help him fight it.

And this, combined with Kindron's investigation into how pictures seemed to be doorways had also led him to theorize that the pictures were the key to both entering other worlds, and to escaping this one. While Kindron hadn't managed to find a picture connected to his world like the first night, he had found other worlds in pictures, and talked with other worlds peoples. Some worlds were like fantasy, some were normal worlds, and some were even like sci-fi. And Kindron had theorized that maybe the picture on the screen in the movie theater (when he fell into the void) had been the result of the doorway that had connected his world to this weird realm. And if these creatures were moving to other worlds, then there had to be a way to use that to escape, or even track these creatures. Kindron had tried to go back to the house he found that first night, but after that first night, someone or something had cleaned out that house and the pictures were no longer there.

But anything Kindron could weaponize, he was trying to find a way to weaponize.

Thankfully, Kindron was coming up with strategies to fight the creatures who appeared at night.

First, Kindron had designed a new outfit for himself that he was wearing all the time. It was a black cloak/robe that had a hood. Kindron also had a mask and goggles that he wore during the day in order to avoid the light being able to touch him. Thankfully, KIndron had figured out that hot and cold were just as messed up in this world. And Kindron did figure out that clothes don't affect body temperature at all (or at least, not that Kindron had seen or felt). So he could wear enough clothes to block out the light completely, and never feel too hot from wearing too many clothes. He had figured out that temperature was only affected by heat or cold in the air, or by certain devices that could heat or cool.

Kindron's black cloak was lined specifically to block out sunlight. And Kindron definitely used this to his advantage during the day to avoid the sunlight's effects.

And in addition to the new outfit, Kindron had been experimenting with weapons. The first thing was that Kindron had been working on modifying his ammo and guns.

Kindron had gotten extended magazines for his rifle, and for his shotgun. He even had a drum extended magazine for each. Kindron knew he was going to need as much ammo as he could get to shoot the creatures given how numerous they were.

Next, Kindron worked on ammo. He had been experimenting with ammo when shooting the creatures at night. For the most successful rounds he'd found to work during the nighttime, Kindron had started making phosphorus incendiary/armor piercing rounds for use against the jellyfish. These rounds had become Kindron's best weapon against the creatures besides his energy sword. The ammo didn't hurt the jellyfish per se, but it at least made them flinch and stun them, a fact he figured out one night.

And yes. During one of the nights, Kindron had found an energy sword and some energy weapons left by more scientifically advanced humans. And Kindron had realized that the energy weapons actually could hurt the jellyfish and the aliens. That was probably why the scientifically advanced people had only been brought in once. It was perhaps the third or fourth night Kindron had been trying to figure out how to fight back. These humans with energy weapons had managed to hurt the jellyfish that night, and the aliens basically reappeared after the jellyfish left and swarmed those humans. It was the only time the alien creatures reappeared after the jellyfish left, and it was only to murder those humans who had hurt the jellyfish. And no scientifically advanced people had shown up since that night. Which meant that the creatures didn't like to see the jellyfish hurt. Another valuable piece of information to Kindron.

However, most of the energy weapons had been broken and destroyed, and the only one Kindron had gotten to work since that night had been an energy sword that glowed red when he wielded it. He had also had limited success with a pistol he took that fired plasma blasts, but he didn't use it much because he hadn't yet figured out how to tell when it needed a new plasma core, and the physics of the energy seemed just as broken since it didn't always work properly anyway.

Between Kindron's black robes, and his energy sword, Kindron joked how he looked like a sith right out of Star Wars.

"In a world where all the light can be dangerous, I guess it's only right that I joined the dark side."

That would be how Kindron would joke to himself about his look.

On top of that, he was growing a beard because he gave up trying to figure out the rules of shaving. Physics for that was messed up as well. Sometimes he'd shave, and the next day he'd have a full beard. Then some days he wouldn't shave and his facial hair would shrink. And then there were some days where his facial hair just stopped growing regardless of what he did. He even had a day where his cut facial hair just jumped back onto his face when he was shaving which was a weird experience when he felt his facial hair reattach to his face. Kindron just gave up on it and stopped trying to shave. He didn't care anymore. He just wish he didn't have days where he had to deal with such an itchy beard.

Kindron had a routine now. During the day, he'd watch the city, sometimes going out to buy ammo and items he needed. And of course, he'd also stock up on food, since the humans in this world had to eat just like normal people (it seemed that hunger was one of the few laws that was universal no matter what world you live in). Kindron would buy anything he needed since he was scavenging money off the people who were killed at night. He couldn't buy anything at night, because most times after the jellyfish were done picking people up, Kindron would lose memory of most of the night and wake up in his bed in his home (which he had tried to board up the windows so light wouldn't come in when he woke up, but the windows end up unboarded every day he wakes up there, and he couldn't figure out why he was always waking up there.

Nighttime though... That was when Kindron had started to shine. Whether that was a good thing or a bad thing was anyone's guess.

Kindron had watched the creatures and was fighting back actively. He wasn't hiding in fear anymore when night came.

Now, Kindron used everything he had to set up his attack strategy when nighttime came. He'd set up shop on a roof, and then shoot the aliens and their dogs from the roof with his rifle when night hit. He'd save as many people as he could when they tried to go for people, using his extended magazines to be firing at enemies longer without having to reload. And thanks to his rifle's scope, he was getting better and better at long range shooting (partially thanks to this world's messed up rules). He had always been a mid range shooter, but now he was using the broken physics of this world to his advantage. When he looked through his scope, his shots always landed where the scope was pointed, no matter how off the scope was. Kindron even detached the scope and looked through it at an alien, and then fired in the opposite direction and the bullet still killed the alien.

So far, the aliens hadn't gone after him like they had gone after the scientifically advanced people who were hurting the jellyfish. And even when Kindron cut the tentacles off of jellyfish who got too close to him, the aliens never retaliated against him, which he found strange given that the creatures swarmed the other group of humans for hurting the jellyfish. While Kindron counted his blessings that he wasn't being swarmed, he always felt something was off when he wasn't attacked after hurting the jellyfish creatures.

But Kindron was ready if they did. His rooftop had cameras all over with motion detectors. And so did the building. If the aliens entered the building, Kindron would get an alert on his cell phone that something was in the building (and that was if they didn't trigger the traps that Kindron set to take out anything that tried to make its way into the building). Kindron owned this building, after the person who owned it previously was grabbed by the jellyfish. And Kindron had designed an alert if any blue light beyond a certain intensity appeared near him. Since the jellyfish always came down in pillars of blue light, Kindron had cameras on the roof that were aimed up at the sky and were set to alert him if any blue light came down on him.

And then when the jellyfish came down, Kindron started shooting them as well. Kindron had noticed something about the jellyfish. When they came down, it was always to grab someone or multiple someones nearby where they come down. And if that person somehow gets away from them to a certain distance, then the creatures give up on capturing that person and went back up into the sky.

Kindron figured this out by using his armor piercing phosphorus rounds. Kindron figured out that the jellyfish hate the burning of phosphorus, and the white light given off seemed to temporarily stun them. And with the armor piercing aspect of the rounds, Kindron was able to make them stop. If he shot the tentacles, it would stop them from grabbing someone so they could get away. Kindron noticed that, while the tentacles and the main bodies didn't take damage, it did at least affect them. Kindron had noticed that the tentacles would rub the spots where he shot, like someone would carefully massage an injury to relieve the pain. Whenever the jellyfish stopped due to the pain and the phosphorus ignition of the bullets, it would give people the chance to run away. Some still got caught because they hid rather than run, but Kindron couldn't help that given how far he was from the people when he would shoot the jellyfish. And even though he wasn't saving everyone, he was out every night shooting the aliens and the jellyfish for no reason other than trying to hinder this world from killing or taking humans.

Things were actually going well for him, and it felt like he was actually doing something to save the people trapped in this world.

That is... until recently.

It seemed like the alien creatures started changing tactics. Kindron didn't know if it was because of him or if they were up to something else.

One night, the aliens were accompanied by new creatures to fight when they came out at night. Kindron was seeing a number of new creatures being brought out, and he couldn't tell if these creatures were with the blue aliens or not. These creatures weren't blue like the others, and had no bioluminescence, but instead were usually black or dark colored. It was strange, but Kindron treated them just like the other creatures (by shooting them when they appeared), even when they sometimes attacked the blue alien creatures

When the monsters came out, Kindron shot each one that tried to make a move towards people whether it was to kill or capture people. Kindron didn't care what they were, or what abilities they had. He simply killed them whenever they posed a threat. He saw a number of creatures, such as a large bat with a bee-like stinger, 8 foot tall spiders, and a number of other creatures. But Kindron didn't hesitate to try and find a creature's weakpoints, usually shooting them in the head.

But Kindron was then faced one night with a problem one night when, while he was on his roof shooting, two figures managed to make it through his building up to his roof.

Strangely, Kindron knew that the figures were coming even before his motion detectors went off. A voice seemed to speak in his mind, telling him to be prepared to fight these monsters.

But these weren't monsters. They were humans. Two humans that made their way up to Kindron's rooftop and avoided all the traps Kindron had set.

And these humans were armed with energy sabers just like Kindron's. One had a blue saber, and one had a green saber. Kindron couldn't help but feel like he was in an episode of Star Wars.

Kindron: I don't suppose you guys are here to help me out? He says, looking at the two men who ignite their sabers. He remembers what the voice said in his mind about him having to fight. Though he was hoping to avoid a fight if he could.

The men say nothing, and just charge Kindron with a blank look in their eyes.

Kindron: Are you guys being hypnotized? Come on! Snap out of it! He says as he uses his energy saber to block and avoid the strikes of the two men who were attacking him.

Kindron dodges and blocks the two men's attacks.

Kindron: If those creatures think I won't kill humans, they're wrong. He says to the two men who were jumping around him.

Kindron uses his martial arts training to stay ahead of both men, and uses his energy sword to block the men's energy sword. But Kindron had to be careful, because one cut could destroy his guns if the sabers managed to hit his weapons.

The two men try to stay on opposite sides of Kindron, but Kindron sees their strategy and tries to parry the two men's swords into each other to try and keep them both in view.

Kindron: This is starting to tick me off. He says quietly as he starts to get frustrated with the two men trying to continue to attack him. I don't suppose you can at least tell me if those aliens are controlling you? He says to them, even though they don't respond.

Kindron sighs.

Kindron: So be it. He says as he decides to go on the attack, making up in his mind that he was going to do what he had to do in order to survive this fight. He parries the blue saber into the other man's chest, and then, in a swift movement, kicks the dead man's green saber up in the air. While he was using his red saber to lock the blue saber, Kindron catches the green saber and slices the man's head off.

Once the two men were on the ground dead, Kindron takes the blue saber and the green saber, and puts them on his belt next to his red saber.

Kindron: Your lightsabers will make a fine addition to my collection. He says, doing a poor imitation of General Grievous from Star Wars. Yeah, it was stupid to joke right now, but Kindron couldn't help it. Ever since went with the black cloak and the red energy saber, he just couldn't help making Star Wars references.

But then something happened... Something Kindron couldn't have predicted.

It started raining. It was still in the middle of the nighttime attack, and Kindron hadn't even seen the clouds roll in. But somehow, the rain had interrupted the aliens nightly attack.

And something strange happened. The aliens retreated. But they weren't doing so out of frustration. Kindron swore he could see fear in the creature's eyes. It was weird, because Kindron didn't think any of these creatures felt fear. And it wasn't like the rain was doing anything to them (at least that Kindron could see.

What was even weirder was that the jellyfish didn't even start coming down. It was the second time that Kindron had seen the creatures break off from their usual strategy (not counting the new monsters that had appeared). Of course, the first was the night when the scientifically advanced humans had been swarmed and killed after the jellyfish attack. But this was something entirely different.

Kindron decided it was time to investigate. He holds his red energy saber in his hand, and keeps the blue and green saber on his belt, ready to take them out if he had to. He also had his guns on his back, ready to fight if needed.

Kindron took out some of the beasts as he walked down the street, using his energy sword. Kindron's face wore a determined look, ready to fight.

As he took out the glass in a shop window with his energy sword, Kindron goes and cuts through a building. He didn't even know why he was doing it, but it was a good way to stay indoors and avoid the rain.

But Kindron then saw something. A new creature he'd never seen before. Thankfully, he hadn't been seen yet by the creature. He couldn't even describe it. It was like a giant black armadillo creature. And Kindron had a bad feeling when he saw it hunting down people and killing them. It wasn't even eating them, but it would use its claws to push someone down and then the creature would either bite them or use his jaws to carefully grab the head and snap their neck.

Kindron wanted to go fight it, but the voice in his head had returned, telling Kindron that he would die if he tried to fight. Listening to the voice, Kindron tries to avoid being seen and tries to get away. Kindron wasn't going to pick a fight he couldn't win.

But the voice guided him not to run, but to play dead. This confused Kindron, and Kindron was getting ready to leave because he knew playing dead would not be enough.

However, the voice made it clear that Kindron's only path of survival was playing dead and laying in one specific spot, and it was the only way he was going to survive. Which Kindron understood that the act of playing dead wasn't going to work by itself.

As Kindron heard more screams, Kindron gets down on the ground. He was still inside the building, and was in one spot where there was no glass from the windows. However, the rain flooding in was making it hard, as Kindron could tell the rain was actually pouring down enough that the area was flooding. Kindron tried not to spit the water of his mouth when the water rose, and continued playing dead.

And it was a good thing too. Because the monster broke in through another large pane of glass. And strangely, the glass didn't actually land on Kindron, but next to him.

While Kindron stayed silent and was listening, he could hear the creature walking by him. It seemed that it hadn't noticed him yet, or didn't care. Kindron almost felt one of its legs brush by him as it went by.

And then two people that were outside saw the creature and screamed. They tried to run, and the beast roared and ran after them.

The voice in Kindron's head warned him that this was his moment to escape, and told him to run through the broken glass that the monster broke open when it came in (which was the opposite way of where the monster had run off to.

Kindron got up and started sprinting immediately. He knew he had to get away from this creature if he couldn't kill it yet.

As he got outside, he saw something that really threw him off (And yes, it was common given how much this world confused him).

He saw the rain around the city block, but saw a city block that was pure desert.

There was no rain in the desert, and instead it was a sand storm. Kindron couldn't figure out why it felt like there was a divide between the rainy part of the town and the city block that had become pure dirt and sand. The desert part even had worn down buildings that seemed to have been worn down by the sand storm as though the sand were consuming everything in that city block.

The voice in Kindron's head snapped him out of his confusion, telling him that he had to run into the desert if he wanted to survive and not be caught by the creature.

Kindron then remembered what he was doing and ran into the desert.

When he did, he could no longer see the rain. All he could see was the desert, as though he had just stepped into another dimension. Now, everything around him was desert, and the entire city was now desert as though the rain and the town had been an illusion. And strangely, there was sunlight in this desert. But not like the pacifying light. It was like real sunlight, which was strange given that the other side of the road should be in total nighttime darkness right now (but Kindron could only see the desert covering the whole town, and having worn it down).

Kindron couldn't figure out what was happening, but tries to run through the desert as best he could.

It was strange, since the dirt being blown around in the sand storm seemed to be clinging to things almost like it had a case of static cling. And it seemed like the dirt was mostly sticking to concrete or metal.

Kindron took a moment to study the scene. He saw what looked like armor and weapons all around him, and they were all almost completely covered in sand. And it looked like the sand was wearing down manmade objects while leaving alone things like the moss and plants. It was almost like the sand storm was eating everything in sight... And from the armor and weapons laying on the ground, it seemed as though people tried to survive in this hellscape before and failed.

Kindron took out his energy saber for some light since it was hard to see with all the sand, but couldn't ignite it since sand had gotten into the devices mechanical parts. Even his guns were fully of sand at this point, and he knew he'd be dead meat if anyone attacked him right now.

Kindron curses to himself, and then decided to take cover, putting his energy saber away.

Kindron tried to run inside a building, but noticed that the sand storm was also blowing inside the buildings, as though the dirt and sand were phasing through the buildings.

Kindron silently sighs.

However, the voice comes back into Kindron's head and tells Kindron he has to make it to the end of the desert if he wants to avoid being killed. The voice warns Kindron that pretty soon the beast will track him down and chase him through the desert if he doesn't move.

So Kindron does as he is told. He starts walking into the wind, going in the direction the voice had guided him. He had no idea what this voice was in his head, but it seemed that someone or something was trying to help him.

Kindron just jokingly called the voice "The voice of the Force" to go with his Star Wars references.

But something changes, as the voice starts to talk to Kindron's mind almost like it was using telepathy. Which was different from how the voice was communicating through general thoughts being projected into Kindron's mind.

Voice: It will take a while to get through the desert. Unfortunately, there is no water or food in this desert. So you will have to just power through it before you die of exhaustion. It explains.

Kindron sighs. Of course... It couldn't be easy.

Voice: Hey. This is actually standard for this realm. You're actually doing way better than I expected. It says to him, as though responding.

Kindron: Hold on... Can you hear my thoughts? He asks, not sure if the voice was responding to him as he was walking through the desert.

Voice: I can't read your thoughts, I'm just responding how I must to ensure the outcome I seek to you escaping.

Kindron: Yeah sure... That's not confusing or vague at all. He thinks sarcastically. But then a thought occurs to Kindron. So, why me? Why are you helping me?

Voice: You haven't noticed, have you? You're the one who's destabilizing the realm. And I want you to keep being able to do it. The voice explains.

Kindron: How? How am I destabilizing it? This realm was never stable, so how can one person throw everything off? He asks mentally.

Voice: You have not yet fully understood how this realm operates. You think this realm is unnatural, and follows no natural laws, don't you?

Kindron: Um... Yeah. That's kind of how its been since I got here.

Voice: This realm has laws just like yours. But the laws are different. This realm works differently than others like yours. You are like a chemist, trying to understand chemical reactions before you've studied the peroidic table. You don't understand the fundamentals of this realm, so to you, it looks like everything happens randomly.

Kindron: Then explain the fundimentals. I've been trying to figure out the rules of this realm, but everything is too random.

Voice: Nothing is random. Except for you.

Kindron stops for a moment.

Kindron: Why? Why am I random?

Voice: You are the variable they cannot control. They do not know how to respond to you. And the realm has begun to destabilize because of it. You wanted to fight this realm, and you are doing a far better job than you realize.

Kindron: I'm still confused. He says to himself as he starts walking again, still fighting the wind and the sand storm.

Voice: You have seen how people react to this realm, yes? This realm breaks people who enter it. Ensures they will not fight back. This realm feeds on the fight or flight response, and forces the flight response to make sure people don't start building group rebellions against this world. People are broken when they come to this realm, much like you were on the first night you were here.

Kindron: Okay. So I had a mental breakdown... Everyone does in this realm, right?

Voice: Yes... But your response to that breakdown and how you chose to fight this realm have confused the system. You are an anamoly... The one who will not do what the system commands, even though everyone else does.

Kindron: The pacifying light? Is that the system?

Voice: Close, but no. It would take too long to explain. Normally, this realm breaks people down, so that they lose the will to fight. And the system makes sure that the people only do what it is they want. Even at night when it seems panic ensues as "they" invade, the system is still operating and controlling the outcomes. This realm never fails to predict responses and break down people's desires to fight. But you... You cannot be controlled. Your rebellion against the system has created instability in this realm that grows by the day, and those black creatures you have seen are part of the instability.

Kindron: So... Not only am I a sith. I'm now Neo from the Matrix as well? He thinks jokingly.

Voice: I don't know what that is...

Kindron: Oh god. Do you not have movies? I thought Star Wars and the Matrix were a thing in all universes. He thinks jokingly.

The voice just sighs.

Kindron realized it was going to be a long walk through this desert if he couldn't talk about movies...

But Kindron needed to find the source of this voice, and figure out the rules of this world. And how to break it down. Kindron was ready to continue the fight against this realm, and wanted more than anything to break this realm the way it broke him.

But first Kindron would have to make it across this desert...

This desert that consumes all...

End.

Hei: I'll keep it in mind. I can't say I know much about that stuff. The alien stuff is a little out of my expertise. The Zygon stuff, Kendrix ended up learning more about it when he gained Zygon powers.

Kindron: Rachel is much better at that stuff than I am. She's been doing it a lot longer. I think she just needs more family to hang out with. I don't really know what she does in her free time.

Qrow: With my luck, us having a kid will start World War 3 or something. He says jokingly with a shrug. He knew he had bad luck, and often felt like a curse more than help in most cases.

When Kindron's name gets mentioned, he seems to snap out of his daze. Kindron: Sorry... Yeah. You're probably right. He says to Zeph. He then looks to Tara. I don't suppose you can do that past lives scan you did on me? He says to Tara.

Future Alucard: What for? He asks curiously.

Kindron: Well... This is going to sound crazy, but I think Tenzo here is the reincarnation of me in your timeline. He says to Tara and Zelpharia. Given what they knew so far about Kindron's past lives and his reincarnations, it wouldn't take long to pick up what Kindron was trying to say since they would all know the Kindron in the future timeline died, and that Kindron would have been quickly reincarnated over the years every time he died.

Tenzo: I'm sorry, I'm a what? He says, completely confused, still processing everything going on.

Rosetta: He's definitely easy to talk to as long as you keep Dalek, Zerg, and Borg out of the conversation. That could have Grandpa Tolodora going off on war stories for hours. I know from experience so just a bit of advice. She says as she takes another sip of her drink. Rosetta: And don't get him drunk, or you'll be stuck hearing random stories and possibly shown some very embarrassing pictures of the family. Last time I got drunk with him, he went off on five random subjects that had nothing to do with each other. But hey, I now know the best bait to catch a blorda on Zeta and how to trick the slappers of the Zorgon homeworld because of random drunken rambling.

Zelpharia: I know how that feels as well. I see so many possible futures at one time that it's a major headache to sort which one I must pay attention to. It's not possible to change every moment in time, but you can manipulate those situations to still end in your favor even if it doesn't look like it. She says to Kindron with a soft smile. Zelpharia: I might be able to help her be more accepting of that what she cannot change.
