Re: Atlantis
Aya thought for a long moment before half shrugging.
"A few details here and there, like what she was planning, and how close she was to actually getting Vanessa advanced enough to not even bother with Siphon. She knew you were coming too, not quite sure how, but she did. Anything in particular that you are looking for? I can try but ... some of the memories I had lifted from her seem to be fading. I'm guessing eventually I'll lose them all?"
Vorhan shook his head.
"Only dominant ones will likely remain, not all of them will vanish I'm afraid. But yes, if some are fading, eventually they will be gone for good, probably within a few hours."
Siphon nodded to Ariana, settling for leaning against the wall.
"Fair enough, I guess we both do."
He seemed about to say something more, then apparently thought better of it, just shrugging and leaning against the wall, staring out into space. Some time passed in silence between them, Siphon not moving away from the window. If Ariana looked at him, she could almost tell that he was thinking things from today over. Every so often his features would tighten some, as if he were trying to work things from a different angle or if something were bothering him, but he said nothing.
Then at some point without her realizing it, he had moved into a sitting position on the floor, and the first she knew that something might be up was when another flash of mental projection hit her, though it was much more controlled than last time. It wouldn't overwhelm her, but it would still be a little surprising given how sudden it happened.
She could see as Siphon moved to the chair, sitting down and the city trembling just as it had a little while ago. The city was taking off, departing whatever world they were on. She might frown, for hadn't this already happened? Why was she seeing something that had happened maybe twenty minutes ago? The city flew on, and she could now see the star map as it popped into her mind, wait no, it was HIS mind, but she could see the map as if it were her own! Something wasn't right though, and it took her a moment to work the problem. The stars seemed familiar, and they shouldn't given they were in a different galaxy. Then it hit her that these stars were from back home, in the Milky Way galaxy. As the star map charted out the course Siphon was plotting, she could see it leave the galaxy, crossing a void where nothing existed, and ultimately crossing into what she could only assume was Pegasus. She saw a countdown timer begin in his mind, unable to decipher what time it had left as she didn't know the language. Whatever it had left seemed to satisfy him, and the chair suddenly powered down, though the city remained in hyper-space. Siphon stood, walking out of the room, at which point the vision abruptly ended.
Back to herself again, she'd be left to process what she'd seen. If she took a look over at Siphon now, she might be suddenly alarmed at the fact he didn't appear to be breathing. Then she noticed a breath slowly go in, exhaling out even slower. It suddenly dawned on her that he might have entered some kind of meditative trance, apparently one that his breathing seemed almost non-existent. Now the question was, how long had he actually been like this, and was it normal for him?
