Has anyone had any luck closing the Liminal portals? I don't have anything to go off of, other than guesswork, but it seems like cutting that off might be the best way to keep all of us from ending up dead in space. Although I suppose that would be one solution. But probably not the one we want.

[She almost smiled at his initial response. Almost. Still, it was good to know that they were on the same wavelength in certain areas.]

That's actually a really good--if slightly disturbing--point.

I mean, we've all gotten abilities that seemed kind of Jaunt-specific before, haven't we? [She didn't outright think about the Ganymede Syndrome incident, but it was close enough to the forefront of her thoughts that Robin may or may not have received a glimpse of it.] So what's to say some of the other things we've picked up along the way haven't come from other Jaunts as well? Maybe this is just one instances where we caught the ability before we made it to the related Jaunt.

Except no one from here really seems to know how or why they're opening, either. Or if they do... they're keeping really quiet about it, which really doesn't bode well if one of the infiltrators is somehow doing this on purpose.

Mind control.

It wouldn't be the first time a Trump got to an Infiltraitor mid-Jaunt. They'd gotten to me before.

Maybe... If that's what's happening, we might want to look first at any infiltrators we know are marked and see if that gets us anywhere? Or maybe that's just a waste of time. I don't know.

We might be able to stop the portals if we can get the ships to drop down below lightspeed, since that's when they started opening... but that might not be the best plan if our end goal is everyone surviving this.

Umm...for the record? I'm infiltrating, and I'm marked.

I mean, you can go ahead and still check if it'll make you feel better, but I'm pretty sure I'm not the one causing any of this. Like, 90% sure.

For the record, neither am I. Unless I'm doing it by accident, which could be the case. Anyone been keeping track of the marked infiltrators if they're causing any problems around them? I think there are at least three of them on the Empress.

[She was starting to get a mental whiplash, going back and forth between voices in her head like this.]

[It reminded her so much of home.]

How do you know? You haven't been portal hopping between here and the other ships, have you?

... Maybe?

And you didn't invite me along?

You're not still feeling unwhelmed over the whole cabinet thing, are you? 'cause I'm mostly over that by now.

[Mostly.]

I'm just whelmed, okay. Completely whelmed. No overs or unders.

... And 'mostly', huh?

You heard me.

[And that was all you were getting in response, Robin. Interpret at will.]

I'll take both your word for it. Keep an eye on each other, maybe. You've got different Trumps, right? So if you're doing it by accident... it's probably only one of you.

[ Probably. ]

I haven't been keeping track, but... I really need a better list of who's actually marked. A couple on the Corona, I think?

Ambrose is there, yeah. Haven't kept up with everyone else... It's too bad we don't have some ability to ping where the marked people are, though it'd probably have to be a magic-user to make it work anyway.

Aaaaand Zatanna's powers are still going haywire, aren't they? ...no offense, Zatanna. It's not your fault, but I don't think I know enough about magic to pull it off, and I don't know anyone else who might.

Though it might still be worth figuring out sometime...
