No, no... It's fine. I was blessed with a visit from one of my other world counterparts, she told me everything. How the rift could send out dangers, how she got sick and the Quintessence changed her. I'm taking precautions.

*The only thing she had been told was how dangerous the project had become, he had not been mentioned though she *should* have asked.* If you think I should cease my work, but we are yielding such interesting results…

//My sleepy 4 am brain: What if Zarkon and Honerva had a second child? Me: No… This will be left up to morning me.

*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...?

*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.

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...

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.

*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.

Eljie, what a lovely name. I can't wait to meet him either. *It was sure to be a shock once she met him, certainly was going to be awkward.*

//*Me re-checking timelines for when Honerva had Lotor* Oh, AFTER she died... Huh. That means technically she has no son yet... 👀

Twenty-two? My goodness, I can't imagine the pride that comes with seeing your child grow.

Zarkon and I keep talking about children, I know I'll have one eventually since, you know. *She waved a hand.*

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.

There has been an accident at the rift site, she's unhurt but one of the other researchers has been quarantined. Further tests are to come.

…

Everything is under control. I think.
