//Actually, I think there are images of her wearing that cloak while pregnant with Lotor... it's been way too long since I watched this show, I'm rewatching it and I'm at the end of season 2π
The rift has been throwing out strange readings so she's joining the team to investigate.
No one is to breach the dome, but everyone is to be suited up in case something breaks out.
@RadiantCobalt //I could tweak her slightly, have her become a mother before she "died" and lost her memory. Would make abandoning him hurt more because she used to be a loving mother.
[ With how much Lotor himself no longer looked like he used to, seeing Eljei must come across as even more shocking. ]
He's become quite a handsome and accomplished young man. We just celebrated his twenty-second birthday.
Eljei, my oldest- You may recognize him. He can't wait to meet you.
[ How embarrassing was this. Was there any way he could explain the situation with his son that his mother would understand? Would it really go over well? ]
*Oh, it would look like she had shut down the project to anyone who came looking, but of /course/ she wasn't actually going to.*
A son /and/ a daughter? My goodness, you have been busy. I'd love to meet them.
[ His eyes were hard, his expression otherwise blank. He didn't believe her; she'd played her hand too fast. She was going to keep at her work, but now she was going to lie to him about it. It was... That was the mother he remembered. ]
I'm sure you'll be busy, but you should +
What? Oh, no that isn't the problem, I'm just trying to plan how I'm going to do this.
*She stopped pacing and smiled softly at him.* I /will/ shut down the project, I promise.
[ He was starting to not believe her, but if she chose not to heed his warning, he had done everything he could. ]
Much of your equipment can be repurposed.
I don't know how long it will take, there is a lot of equipment and a lot to sort out.
*She started to pace back and forth.* And Zarkon may be upset...
[ He...wasn't expecting that. No one resembling his parents had ever listened to him, not even when he and his mother had been close. To rsk she shut down her life's work and she was....listening? ]
It is for the best.
*She opened her mouth to speak but then closed it and for a moment a look of disappointment washed over her features. She then nodded and let out a small sigh.*
I will... Begin preparations to have it shut down.
Think of it as if you are a two dimensional creature and you built a two dimensional box around it. To you, it seems enclosed. It may even present as a lower exposure reading. But it is not bound to two dimensions.
[ He had lost so much to it. How could he not be afraid? +
*Honerva nodded slowly. If he truly had done more intensive research than she had maybe he was the authority on the project.*
... Even with the rift enclosed? With only two people near it at any time? With all the safety precautions we have in place...?
+ had found his son in one. Who would he be if not the one who warned? ]
There are labs that still study it. They are fools. If you would like, I can find you our report.
