[Well, at least that's more information that he had to start with. It could be any one of those things when it comes to him and Northly - proximity, Soul compatibility, time spend together during duress...
The rest is unnerving, though. Yeah, he remembers that Augmenter part, recalls all too well helping Hubert get it.]
What's that say for those of us who've been in close contact with it? You folks at the cabin, or someone trying to use it for magic and whatnot?
[Because if they have any chance of turning out like the Augmented under Kelesis... well. He doesn't like what he'll have to do, but he knows he has to do it.]
[ Jayce pulls in a deep breath, then sighs, shaking his head. ]
Truthfully? I have no idea. The last time I asked Patho-Gen for medical records of the previous Augmented, they denied my request. And without previous records, or any data to compare, we're running blind.
[ That's been the case for a year. He frowns again. ]
But - there's some similarities between Katalyth itself and the imprinting process. The overlap is a desire to connect, to be understood... [ he holds up a hand ] I'm not saying that it's something to be worried about - [ yet ] - but... whatever is wrong with this world, that seems to be an aligning force.
[Pom hmms on his end of the line, making a mental note about those records, should there ever be another opportunity to wander the halls of Patho-Gen. One never knows.]
Makes me wonder if the world really is trying to reach out to us in some way, with whatever's in our Augmenters drawing us toward one another. Had a thought like that with Mel a while back.
