“It would be a combination of all three. As much as it would make sense to grant full access to our records to some of you, and several of you certainly are qualified, I’m not at liberty to share everything I know. Some have the assumption that we’re full-fledged researchers, but we’re not. At least, not yet. We’re interns and assistants at most for the time being, and before Gi I was the most recently employed. The best I can freely offer so far is data collection and my own theories.”
As much as she may become tired or even frustrated at times, it wasn’t because she ever disagreed with them entirely. But even after two months, it was difficult to know how to handle the situation as a whole. Breathing out, she reached over for the thin folder she had set aside—if either of the two glanced at the papers within, it would seem to be a mere list of numbers and code names that made no sense, given she had penned them in a cypher of her own making. Though they are her own personal notes, she didn’t want to risk exposing the sensitive information of individuals should someone else come across them.
“I know it’s... crude, and people are hardly in the best state when we do them, but that is why we ask for and perform check-ups upon arrival to the Center. With as much data as we can obtain, we can better locate these patterns and solve the mysteries of the Interdimensional Cloud. The past two cycles have given us more than we can possible piece together in satisfactory time, and given rise to new theories.”
“For example, the presence of so many from a world called Eos is worth noting—yet only a few of them seem to be from the same point in time. Why would that happen, and does it prove the existence of multiple timelines and alternate realities if residents from further in the future never noticed the absence of certain individuals? What does it mean to have them not notice, what happens to their timeline if they are here in Vaikuntha unable to leave? And...”
Only now does Sylvarie seem to realise she was practically rambling, peering up from her notes with an apologetic expression. Not everyone wanted to hear such scientific theories with detail, and worse yet she had hardly given them the chance to offer their input yet.
“I’m sorry... This is all as new to us as it is to you, that’s why I went to the Dream Width this last time...”
