I - this is - [ Very clean. Very strange. Very frightening. But that he knows how to use this contraption must mean he is meant to be here.

He stops in front of the large windows. ]

Is this the realm of the Gods?

Where are my daughters?

[ She assumes that whether or not this is a place of the gods (to which she would answer "no," but only because her gods wouldn't be caught dead in a large metal contraption like this) comes second to his other concern. ]

They likely aren't here. I'm sorry.

[ His eyes snap to the video screen. ]

But where.

[ They don't have to be with him, they just have to be not kidnapped. They just have to be home, with their mothers. ]

Wherever they were last, I'd think.

Really?

But they were with me.

Well...where were you?

The forge.

[ He's touching the large windows. ]

I've never seen so much unbroken glass.

You're more surprised at that than what's outside it?

Stars?

[Yeah sorry man, you're getting demon form instead of human form.]

This isn't the realm of any gods. It's space.

And your daughters are where you left them, unless you see them nearby.

Unfamiliar ones, at that.

[ Sorry, no flinch. He's assuming you painted yourself for some reason???

Malak gives a sharp nod. ]

Good.

...a space of what?

...yes.

I hadn't noticed.

I wouldn't expect you to.

Only because I've been here a bit longer than you have, that's why I know.

Then you're a goddess.

Nothing like that.

[ She hopes that's just a phrase where he's from and not some kind of...way of him saying she's an actual deity.

She isn't, but there's some weird stuff there. ]

Where is this? Where am I?

Please, just - please tell me.

[He will soon learn otherwise. Until then, Cole's going to be his level of helpful (read: barely)]

Outer space. The final frontier. That place where all the stars are.

You're on a ship, currently. The Marsiva.

Where we're going next, I don't know. I'm sorry.

The. Sky?

It doesn't feel like a ship.

Above the sky. So far away from the ground there isn't even air.

What do you mean it's not the realm of the gods? It has to be. There's nothing else past the sky.

It may be a strange one, though it still is a ship.

I don't understand. I don't understand what's happened.

[ His voice is a little high, a little panicked. ]

Trust me, it's not the realm of the gods. And you'll find out pretty quickly things aren't always the way you believed them to be here.
