[Mal goes to Anya first. Of course she goes to Anya first. Pietro, she thinks, would want her to know first - would want her to hold the news for a while before anyone else did.]

[She tracks her down in the library and stands with her legs braced apart, fingers tapping on her hips. There is an edge about her; she is doing her utmost to hover in frustration, rather than head straight into bloody rage.]

Anya.

Pietro's gone. Thought you might like to know.

Pietro Maximoff has left the Barge. For good, it seems like.

[The slightest shake of her head - acknowledgment of the first - before she, too, moves on.]

Thoughts might be progress enough. Tell me.

[There's a 'please' implicit in there somewhere, she hopes.]

Spam HI i'm sorry this took so long

[Barbara figures there might be, and that's enough for her.]

Reigning theory right now is - well. We have access to a multiverse at home. We call it Hypertime.

[She gestures vaguely at a stack of books on her desk.] I didn't study it that vigorously at home, it wasn't really my area, but it turns out there's some material here.

Spam YOU'RE FINE <3 <3

Hypertime.

[It sounds made up. But then most things here do. She misses Spock again. Pulling the top book towards herself, she begins flipping through it, though she glances up at Barbara for further explanation.]

ILU <3 ...now to explain hypertime sob

[bodilesswarrior]

[Her lips tug into a wry smirk.] Yep.

[She leans back a bit, hands folding in her lap.] Think of any given timeline as a river. There are an infinite amount of distributaries, which themselves branch into different streams.

Sometimes, those streams feed back into the river.

stupid hypertime

[deshabille]

With what effect?

[bodilesswarrior]

The world changes. Things that never happened always were. [She wrinkles her nose.] Unfortunately, there's no real way to keep track of that.

[deshabille]

I . . . think there's a theory like that, where I'm from. I've heard of something . . .

[She trails off, then shakes her head.]

Well, whatever. These relate to the Admiral how?

[bodilesswarrior]

If Hypertime encompasses the entire multiverse, then I suspect the Barge is, so to speak, sailing through an estuary. When we dock, we're turning into one of the rivers.

[deshabille]

How can he do that?

[bodilesswarrior]

[A wry, frustrated smile.] That's what I'm trying to figure out. From what I've gathered, travelling to different hypertimelines isn't easy, never mind travelling between them.
