"Well... that's where it gets really weird." Bea said, deciding to rip the band-aid off and just try to explain every piece of this that she knew. "Not only are we in space, but... all kinds of timelines and even realities are merging here. That down there isn't the same version of Earth you lived on. It's not even the same one I lived on. I'm from twenty years in the future. And apparently... people that are real in one world might just be... characters in a book or a movie in others. Like... I technically know who you are. Where I'm from? There's a series of books all about you and your friends."
