Samus nodded in understanding of Sophia's first point but was caught off guard by her second. "Oh... When I said we, I wasn't referring to everyone here, just those that know how to... Uh... You can assist if you want..." She wasn't really sure what to say, and looked embarrassed.

"Well I still want to try and be useful if I can manage it, you know?" Sophia reexplained, looking a little caught off guard herself as she wasn't exactly expecting Samus to be so easily rattled. She looked at the rest of the bench she was sitting on, then back up at Samus. 'Well if I'm right about why I had that 'nap'... then it should be fine I guess..?' She thought to herself.

"Would... you like to sit down? You're kinda tall for me to keep looking up like that." She chuckled lightly, shuffling over to let Samus have a good chunk of space to sit down.

Seeing that her point wasn't getting across, Vicky rolled her eyes and laid her back against the floor while she waited.

EMily and Gwen came back to the ship. The latter of whom looked a little bit disappointed.

<color=purple>"Gosh-darnit, I wanted to help lift that ship right now. I haven't lifted something on the order of 120 tons in a while." She said with her arms crossed. EMily snickered, and the topic of meditation got her attention.

"What's this about meditation?"

"Good." Samus said, trying to reassert her serious demeanour. She sat down next to Sophia, nodding in thanks. She looked at EMily as she and Gwen arrived. "I was suggesting Sophia try it."

Having finished cleaning his guns, Roland made and lit a cigarette. Taking a few breaths of the smoke, then looked up at X-9 as an idea came over him. "[color=01A9DB]Do you know of the Dark Tower, robot?[/color]" He asked.

Sophia quickly but gently put the figurine back into her bag as she heard more people approaching. Seeing EMily and Gwen she sighed with relief. "Oh it's just you two. I thought you were Victoria for a minute." She smiled at the two. "Well Samus mentioned about me trying meditation actually." She said a bit awkwardly, scratching her cheek slightly. "Ya, what she said."

"Ah, I gotcha." She replied to Samus.

"So, who are you making a figurine of?" EMily asked Sophia.

<color=purple>"Ah yes, because I totally am tall as hell and have cat ears and a tail." She smirked, somewhat chuckling.

After a while Dace came back with a plate of his fried chicken with gravy. Since Dace was used to cooking for himself he of course made his food geared towards his tastes, which was a shit ton of seasoning on everything. The gravy was just chocked full of some pepper, The chicken was over salted and the breading was full of any sort of seasonings he had lying around, some of them quite hot and none of them really complimenting each other. He also didn't have a dining table so he just used a crate for a table. "How da ya like it?" He said with a mouth full of food.

"Well it's of Victoria actually. Apparently she's from a universe that I already know another person from." She answered back. "I was hoping that she could bring that figurine back with her when we get this whole mess fixed. I'm just making this for her as kind of a 'thank you' for her doing that." She explained.

"I meant I could hear you smarty pants..." She replied back to Gwen, carrying some of the snark back at her.

"Huh... that's actually quite peculiar. Perhaps your universes are the same but just from different worlds."

<color=purple>"I'm just giving you a hard time." She said, still smiling.

"So, Samus... do you wish to hear the second half of our story?"

"I... don't think that's right." Sophia shook her head. "As I understand, Jessica was with an agency that dealt with going to other universes..? But you might know how all that time and space stuff works better than I do maybe?"

"Likewise." Sophia said back to Gwen.

"What story is this? I'm not really following." Sophia asked as she looked at the three.

"Well, I probably would know more about it. I'd have to think about it some more. But as for this story, it's a story about us. It's too bad you weren't there for the first half, although I'd be happy to tell it again for you sometime after this part."

She cleared her throat before she continued.

"So then. I believe last I left off was the part when the dark being descended onto Earth. The dark being was essentially a project that wanted to bring all of life together by consuming it and it was sent out by some alien fanatics. Gwen and I have two other sisters, Sara and Winona. All four of us are in tune with a specified fundamental force of nature. Gwen uses the gravitational force. Winona uses the weak nuclear force. I harness the electromagnetic force. And Sara wields the strong nuclear force. At high energies, we're able to fuse together. Winona and I were able to fuse together into an entity called Ewa. She represents the electroweak unification. In our past endeavors we've been able to fuse together on multiple occasions into Ewa. At extremely high energies, the electromagnetic, the weak nuclear force, and the strong nuclear force fuse together into the electronuclear force. Only twice have we fused into Enya, the representative of this force."

<color=purple>"When the dark being descended in the skies of the Earth, all of us had it in our heads that a fusion with my force must be possible. But there was no force delivered by the other alien species that it encountered that could've repelled it." Gwen seemed to take command of the story as she took a deep breath. <color=purple>"For many years and millennia, humans had been looking for a way to bring together the gravitational force with the others. Yet it seemed doubtful that even if we were to achieve this unification, the dark being would even yield to us. But we tried any way... with our hearts shot full of energy, I fused myself with Enya and a colossal flash of light erupted from our spot on the ground as one of its giant tendrils came down on us. It was a success. The tendril stopped in its tracks." Her eyes gaze forward as if the stopped tendril was right in their faces, only a few inches from colliding with them.

Needless to say, Sophia's interpretation of what had just been told to her would be similar to if someone had placed someone with no prior understanding of Lord of the Rings in the middle of the book and expecting to understand the build up. "A-alright... You weren't kidding when you said hearing the second half would mean little to me..."

"Sounds too easy." Samus said from experience, seeming for all the world like a girl scout at a campfire listening to a ghost story.

Vicky picked up a piece of chicken and bit into it experimentally. She answered Dace by widening her eyes and wolfing down the food quickly, even going so far as to crack open the chicken bones to eat the marrow inside. She sighed contentedly as she finished eating and said,
Code:
"So nice to get something with some actual flavor. Where'd ya learn to cook like that?"

"Perhaps while Gwen's explaining the second half to Samus, perhaps I could give you the first half? I'd be happy to explain anything." She said to Sophia.

<color=purple>"It wasn't easy. Getting to that energy takes an enormous amount of time and patience. We've only done that fusion once, and only once in our entire lifetimes."
