Re: kitchen
"It was a metaphor." she shrugged, moving away from the sink and closer to the doorway. "Read it when I ran out of manuals. Some good references to poisons, hallucinogenic drugs, brain washing and social bonding under extreme circumstances." She'd had to look up quite a few things in different places to understand the secondary messages in the text.
"Probably closer to a universal constant with variations across dimensions." She murmured, for some reason she had the feeling she'd had this line of thought before. De ja vu of the mind. "Something like radio waves and the laws of gravity holding true inside parallel dimensions, but details like piezoelectric current in eels never developing from one plane to the next." Absently she ran her thumb over her junction clip, the other hand rubbing at her scar.
"Once you get to M theory everything gets fucked though. Odine was looking at that, the way sorceress powers could be worked through machinery like Elle's indicated magic and GF paramagic worked across dimensions and through time," Which Ultimecia had proven. "But in M theory you aren't just dealing with parallels, your dealing with completely different base laws. Dimensions with nothing in common except maybe the evidence of carbon. If the sorceress had been able to force contact from one stable universe through the dimensional membrane to a divergent or completely unstable one..." she let her hands pantomime an explosion. "Kablooy."
Seeing looks of complete confusion she sighed and looked at Quisty. "Ten times worse than Kompression, on a scale beyond our world and all it's possible parallels."
