Hypothesis: had I better understood your designs, less energy would have been required. 2 1 POKE: However, despite this doubt (and the struggle of living without you), I will press on. Like this tree before me, we Nomai can thrive even in an environment far from our home. 3 2 POKE: I depart soon to explore the ]]>comet]]> alongside Pye and Clary. However, when I return, I will investigate any way to reduce the energy the warp core requires (perhaps with more precision...). 4 2 POKE: The possibilities of the ]]>Ash Twin Project]]> still excite me. Once we have found the ]]>Eye]]>, imagine what else we could achieve with this technology! With a negative time interval on this scale, we could potentially duplicate matter (or even one of us). 5 4 POKE: Imagine - temporal clones could be used to temporarily increase the population of our clan. How would it feel to work alongside a future version of yourself? 6 5 CLARY: Hypothesis: two of you would be too much for the fabric of spacetime (or me) to handle. Come, sister, the shuttle is almost ready. codex_ember_matter 4
