Tommy was teaching himself how the technology native to the Station worked, or how it went together at least. He'd found something in one of the maintenance bays, and then taken it back to his lecture theater to dismantle it and then rebuild it. He'd finally managed to reattach what he thought was one of the main computer parts, and had been about to show Rawm, when he blinked and was suddenly... not where he had been.

"What the hell..." he muttered, and looked around from where he'd been staring at something. Had he swapped with someone?

He was sitting on a couch, for one, and not sitting cross-legged on the floor, surrounded by his tools, and Rawm was not there. The sounds were not those he was used to from the Station. A glance down at his hands simply confirmed what he'd suspected. These were not his hands. They were familiar, but he couldn't say how just yet, and they were grimy and calloused from work. His hands had their own callouses from all his working with tools and the odd spark or burn from where the electricity was grumpy with him, so the state of his current hands didn't bother him all that much. Standing up, he absently noted that he was a similar height to normal, and yep, male. His clothes were in a similar state to his hands; a bit grubby and with patches on them in places, and when he rubbed at his new face, it was scruffy. And... huh, his hair was curly. He needed to find a mirror, though. And to see who was near.

Except there was no phone nearby. Brilliant.

"Uh, hello? Is there anyone around?" he called out, making his way up to what looked like a kitchen, and then towards a door. There was a low curl of panic starting to form in his gut, wondering if the Man had captured him once more, but he was ignoring it so he could find out what was going on and where he was.

"Yeah, Grandpa. I'm here." The younger Izzy called out as she made her way down a hallway. "I was just about to put on a pot of hot jawla? Jawala? You now, the stuff that's like coffee." She smiled as she got closer to what she thought was the older Tom Sully.

"I got fresh beans from Dr. Tautau as a thanks for the meds run. Not that we needed it. Helping them out was thanks enough. It felt awesome to have such a clearly good mission." Not all their jobs were so black and white as that one had been. Her hair shifted colours briefly to a black and white zebra pattern at the thought, and then back to the purple she used these days. There was no need for her to be touching technology for her magic to work now, as long as was around technology. Often it happened automatically, almost like breathing.

"Do you want a cup when I get it made?" She asked. "It's good and strong. Just as shame we don't have one of Great Aunt Sookie's pies to go with it."

Grandpa? Was this person old?

He watched as the girl walked towards him, confused because she looked familiar as well. "Uh... Yeah, sure, coffee-stuff," he repeated, and then listened to her talking. He had no idea who Dr. Tautau was, or what missions she was talking about, but he blinked when her hair changed color. His brain started whirring so much, he was surprised nobody else could hear it. And then she mentioned 'Great Aunt Sookie', and he was almost certain that he knew who he'd swapped with. He just needed to check.

"Izzy..."

	Izzy sipped her drink and tried to understand what had her grandfather grinning. The jawala wasn't that good. "Well, yeah. Of course." It was their home. It had been for years. It was nothing new to her. Concern kept her from giving him a teenage eye roll. "Are you feeling alright, Grandpa?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Uncle Tommy!" Izzy set her mug too, to give her Uncle a hug, believing him instantly. Her grandfather wouldn't joke about that and she still remembered the strange things that happened on the island. "Where were you? How have you been?" She grinned. "Grandma's with the kids. They're all fine. I can show you to the bridge, where Sookie is." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He took the phone-thing and did as she said, once he got past staring at a picture of them all together. "Mom's hair is different," he murmured, almost unaware that he'd spoken at all. He flicked through about fifteen or sixteen pictures, then handed it back. "Can I look through all of them later, please?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
