Bruce had been doing well in his meditation, by his own estimation, right up until he found himself in an entirely new setting. 

Blinking a few times after noticing that Alvios, Jenso, and Nexus were present, he entertained the idea that he had fallen asleep. Upon trying and failing to conjure himself any booze, however, he was disillusioned. And slightly disappointed, but he kept that to himself. 

[color=0072bc]"I'm all for figuring out how to break free of these dimensional prisons."[/color] Bruce said, joining Jenso and Nexus. 

[color=0072bc]"I suppose going over what he told us would be a start,"[/color] Bruce said, rubbing his chin. He went over what he believed the key points of Nexus' story had been. [color=0072bc]"The one called Alexis, it seemed, inadvertently saved Nexus from death with her research into Arki. Somehow, that helped him live to see today."[/color]

Bruce tapped his nose, thinking further. 

[color=0072bc]"The most direct information I got from him was about the natures of void energy and pure Ki. Namely, that they can give birth to meta energy, which allows the transcendence of natural physical laws. He was very urgent in his stress of how important taking caution in such an endeavor would be."[/color] Bruce sighed and sat down. [color=0072bc]"He failed to end the story properly, but the rest was essentially how he came to work with Yzeira. He more or less confirmed what Vale said about all the members of the Order being somehow connected to him."[/color]
