Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Paisley
When: Right meow

There are a lot of questions and interests about other worlds lately. I have one question that I'm interested in right now. [ Alright, Ankain you can do this. Forget about that scolding Obi-Wan voice in your head telling you that the future is always changing. ] Does your universe-- do you believe in fate?

[ Oh, great. It sounds like a load of bantha dung when he actually hears it out loud. Awkwardly: ]

Destiny.

[ That doesn't help, which is fine. It's fine. It goes against the Jedi teachings and feels wrong just saying it. Nevermind that things are different with each universe, so it can't be really applicable, right?

Whatever, roll with it.

He adds, without pause, a completely unnecessary definition. ]

That certain things needs to happen in the future.

Yes. It was when the time traveler killed Charles Xavier. [A name that might be familiar if he was watching the network recently.]

Private

[sandhate]

[ Damn son.

But it does confirm a few things for him; time travel assassination, probably bad. ]

Have you met... anyone from any other timelines that hinges on that? Is Charles Xavier someone important? [ He gathered a few pieces of information - that he's a telepath makes him want to stay away - but he doesn't know who he is ]

Private

[passingthrough]

He forms the X-Men. In my world they were still formed, but by a friend of his instead.

Private

[sandhate]

The X-men. [ He narrows his eyes for a moment ] They're the rebel group you belong to?

Private

[passingthrough]

It is. Have you heard of it?

Private

[sandhate]

No. There's an X-series but they never made men or women.

What would've happened if Charles Xavier had survived? Would it be better or worst?

Private

[passingthrough]

An X-series... I feel like you're comparing me to a pair of shoes or a toaster or something now. [Little eyebrow raise.]

Better. It would have been better. A man escaped the timeline reset in such a way that he remembered what it was supposed to be. I never saw it for myself.

Private

[sandhate]

[ A bit sheepish ] Starfighters, actually.

How do you-- Did someone tell you that it was reset?

[ Can you even do that ]

Private

[passingthrough]

I guess that beats shoes or a toaster.

Bishop. He was the one whose memories were unaffected when everything else changed. He came to us to let us know what happened.

Private

[sandhate]

[ le gasp?? ]

How does he stay unaffected?

Private

[passingthrough]

No idea. The details didn't trickle down to me. I just know his story was confirmed.

Private

[sandhate]

Guess there wasn't a better alternative if you trusted a man telling you a story, even if it is true.

Private

[passingthrough]

A teammate absorbed his memories. Confirmed them. I trust her.

But no... We were all out of better alternatives. Things were going downhill fast.
