Can't say I've ever been in a position where there were doppelgangers of members of my team. Well, save for that one time. But then again, there's just some alien species were it's impossible to make heads and tails of between them, I don't care how "open minded" you are. But let's stay on point, yeah?

This..."altnerate universe" theory that's all

Okay, just. Take it from me, Bandit Guy, don't even try to understand alternate timeline bullshit. Seriously. Soooooooo not worth the hassle. All you have to know is that when there are two of the same person grubbing around thanks to weird time shit...

[Vriska holds up two magic eight-balls to the camera.]

One of them is a paradox clone. And the universe haaaaaaaates those. So much. And it always finds a way of getting rid of them! In the most fatal and messy of ways. [And... SMASH. One of the eight-balls is now a shattered pile of plastic.]

So I guess what I'm saying is - relax! That little problem of yours is totally going to solve itself before you know it.

Dude, do not listen to this troll, she's an idiot who doesn't understand shit about time travel.

Seriously, Vriska. Paradox clone is not the correct term here. Or I sure hope for your sake it isn't, since it would mean that as a paradox clone you'd be doomed yourself.

Not like that matters here.

Huh? What, no. I didn't mean we were all clones! There's two of that Shepard lady running around, right? They can't both be real! So. One has to be a doomed paradox clone. Come on, dumbass, you know this shit.

Oooooooobviously.

Yeah, I know this shit, but obviously you don't because apparently my point passed several miles above your head.

A paradox clone is someone created through ectobiology. That's why the word clone is included. I really hope you know what ectobiology means because I sure as hell am not explaining that here.

Multiple versions of the same person existing through time travel are not clones. They are simply different instances of the same person. Whether they are doomed because of unstable time loops or not, only a complete moron who doesn't know how time works would think they aren't all equally real.

Did you get any of that? Maybe I should draw you a fucking diagram.

The many-worlds interpretation of quantum physics dates back to at least 1895, speaking solely in Earth terms. May I suggest reasing The Fabric of Reality for a more concise explanation?

[gawdamn]

I'll put it on my to-do list.

[Hmmm... ]

You're one of the little Spartan AIs, aren't you? Delta, was it?

[Have a surprised snort at that last bit, immediately fading into hysterical laughter. He has nothing to say. Nothing whatsoever.]

[gawdamn]

A real riot, that.

[idkmybffedi]

Okay, yeah, so you might need a trauma shrink, but think about Garrus. More specifically, the look on his face hearing you say that. It's a beautiful thing, sir.

[gawdamn]

Don't care what his face does, it's his feet who's direction I'm attempting to alter.

Cut the 'sir' shit, Joker. I'm not your bloody father or someone who ever had bars on their shoulders.

[eighttotwelve]

To be fair, neither Shepard were the ones I took original command from. A second Commander Shepard comes as little surprise to me in comparison to the rest of you, I'm sure.

That aside, my condolences to Garrus for the mix-up.

[gawdamn]

True. What did you say last time? That it was a man you served under? Surprisingly not that difficult to imagine, actually.

Bah. Condolences to my innocent leg.

[eighttotwelve]

John Shepard. However, gender aside, the behavior of that Shepard matches the one I was originally introduced to here. The acceptance was not terribly difficult for me.

I shall pray for it, if you'd like.

[gawdamn]

What's your take on the newer model, if you don't mind my asking.

Yeah, yeah. Don't be a smartass.

[savor_last_shot]

Thanks for that, Zaeed. Just what I needed.

[gawdamn]

Just what you needed? Shit, the least you could do is offer to buy me coffee. Making a man feel used like that. I'm ashamed.

/Not here.
