They didn't know anything about what had caused the anomaly - they had only been called in to investigate it. Maybe Doom and Luminous had orchestrated it all, but maybe they had simply been in the right place at the right time to escape. They just didn't know. Bonnie knew the raft had measures to prevent the use of powers and magic, but it was possible that Doom or Luminous could've found some way to disable those protective measures. There was just still so much they didn't know. [color=f6989d]"And if they did do this on purpose, why this reality? What do they stand to gain here that they wouldn't in another world, perhaps one that their alternate selves already control?"[/color] [color=d86615]"I don't really see why it matters - if we have to drag them back, then we drag them back,"[/color] Raynor said with a shrug. He wasn't going to argue more with his opinion that they ought to just leave without Doom and Luminous. Everyone seemed strongly against letting those two roam free in this world. But if what was happening to the others was any indication, the Doom and Luminous they knew would be overwritten eventually and cease to exist. Problem solved right? [color=d86615]"Who cares if they were the ones behind it - or if it was some crazy thing like the Phoenix?"[/color] [color=f6989d]"It matters because the ability to hop universes is [i]dangerous[/i],"[/color] Bonnie stressed. [color=f6989d]"If we don't understand how the anomaly formed, then we don't know how to counteract it. This time it was Doom and Luminous - what if next time it's a group of children, lost in the multiverse? Someone is going to get seriously hurt - someone might die if we don't figure out what's going on here."[/color] Raynor shrugged, putting more food into his mouth. He trusted that they'd figure it out - but once again, his main priority was making sure that he got Sparky on home to their daughter. The universe may be in danger, but as always, his thoughts were reflected somewhat inward, focusing on his tiny family. As soon as Bob's machine was repaired, he was going to make sure that he and Sparky used it to get back to Zarina. The rest of the group could be martyrs without them. [color=FFB795]"Wecanfigureitoutwhenwefindthem,"[/color] Amelia said, her mouth full of food as to make her words hardly intelligible. She then swallowed, allowing her speech to be clearer. [color=FFB795]"Like, there's so many telepaths on Genosha that if you throw a bleeding rock, you'll probs hit one. They can take a peak inside Doom and Lumey and tell us what they did and how they did it - and if it wasn't them... Well, that's what you science-y types are here for,"[/color] Amelia finished with a shrug. "Well... I think we just eat some food, and then we drink some beer, and go to bed," Darcy said. "And then I think I'll stay here with Bob. I've got some know how when it comes to weird machines. Can't be that different from astrophysics right?" Bob chuckled a bit. "It runs on tachyon particles, so.... sure. I have to harvest some more, but I can get one of the island's time manipulators to help me with that, so won't be a problem. And I'd appreciate your help with fixing the machine, Darcy. At least so it won't be such a lonely process."
