So, because I mention it in another conversation, I am going to say this here where all new people can hear it, and it does not need to be said a bunch of times.

You will sometimes see people with faces like people you know, but they aren't them. You will see people with names and histories of people you know, but look a little different. You will see two different versions of the same person, that looks exactly the same, but with slightly different pasts. Sometimes someone will go away, and when you see them again? They won't remember you.

This is called 'alternate universes'. Most of the time. Maybe sometimes it's a pretty bad prank. That would be shitty of someone to do but it could be. Usually though? It is that you get two versions of two very alike things.

So don't get too confused if someone shows up and doesn't remember you, or someone remembers one of your friends, or someone is looking for a different but much alike person with same name. It just happens. It is pretty shitty that this becomes normal but ah... whatever. Someone good at science can explain how it's possible.

Whoa! Let's take this back a bit. Last ship? You've been through this shit before? You should have opened with that the first time.

So, like, they were making you slaughter a bunch of planets? Tell me there weren't people still on them. That's sick. Actual sick. Not sick-si- you know what I mean. Just what? Damn.

More screwed up than strange.

At least by now I'm sure this ship won't do that intentionally.

Fucking accidentally, obviously. But not intentionally.

Have we already had something like that happen accidentally?

A little bit, yes.

Just ah... if we piss off a planet? Make sure we get off it as quickly as possible. You're pretty good at being fast so we don't have to worry about you.

What qualifies as a little bit?

No one should ever be worried about me. Worry about the rest.

A little bit is that we actually were responsible for the destruction of a planet. We were ordered to get off of it, did not in time, and then one of the crew members transformed into a giant angry man and tore down a city and fucked up the ship and the fucked up ship fucked up the planet.

Moral of the story. Don't overstay welcomes.

You destroyed a planet. With a giant angry man. Right. Where there, uh, people still on it? Accidents are accidents, but. Uh.

Some made it away. Yeah.

But not all that many.

Christ. That's....heavy. But, like, accident. Okay. Nothing to be done about it.

Glad you got some off, at least.
