 * Lilac teleports out of the Furnace, and back onto her spaceship, arriving in a tired state. She decides to look through SC-9744's memories, only to find a considerable gap in them. *

[Lilac] Well, that's odd. Torque might know something about this...

* Lilac gets out a remote communicator and contacts Torque. *

[Torque] Who's calling? What's happening now?

[Lilac] This might sound weird, but I got out of that planet. I'm heading back to Avalice, and I thought I would see what SC's been up to in that time...

[Torque] How did you even do that?

[Lilac] We... share memories..?

[Torque] Huh. Anyway, what's the deal?

[Lilac] There's a considerable piece of memories missing just a bit before we bonded and the whole rescue thing happened. Do you know anything that might have happened around then?

[Torque] ''That's around the time we took him in. We discovered his transport vessel in outer space, between Colony 874 and 875B, in a rather damaged state, and he wasn't in a much better state when we retrieved it and opened it up.''

[Lilac] So, you brought him to one of those colonies and patched him up, yes?

[Torque] Correct. What's interesting, though, is the trajectory that the transport vessel was taking. It seems to have been set up to go to an enemy colony before it was damaged...

[Lilac] Did you ever find out where the transport vessel originated from?

[Torque] No real clue, although our current estimates do put it within an two light-length range originating in the Chronan System...

[Lilac] That anomaly... Do you have any idea about what may have happened beforehand?

[Torque] All we know is that it the vessel was geared for combat in an enemy colony.

[Lilac] Then I assume you took him in. What happened after that?

[Torque] Well, everything was going fine until he eventually collapsed and said he was hearing someone else in his head...

[Lilac] That happened to me as well.

[Torque] ...

[Lilac] That's all I needed to know. Thanks for that.

* She ends the transmission *

[Lilac] "Hey um... how are things going on your end?"

[SC-9744] "Not feeling too good...."

[Lilac] "What's wrong now?"

[SC-9744] "All that teleportation took... a toll on me..."

[Lilac] "I'm also tired and strained and just want to get back home, believe me."

* Lilac tries to remember something. *

[SC-9744] "...What are you doing?"

* Suddenly, she remembers. *

* Glowing pink eyes. *

* The power of holographic projection. *

* And SC-9744 can see it, too. *

[Lilac] "Alright, I'm about to try something very risky. So brace yourself."

[SC-9744] "Could we please do this at a time that's not-"

* Lilac concentrates and her eyes glow a soft eerie pink. *

* ''Now she's seeing her own treehouse from the outside. Hearing the sound of the wind blowing and grass rustling. And experiencing SC-9744's pain of all that teleportation. Despite being in a spaceship, she's able to experience what SC-9744 is experiencing.'' *

[SC-9744] "noW?!" WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

[Lilac] "This... feels exactly like piloting a missile in Fortnite. Except I'm not moving it. Basically, I am experiencing what you're experiencing right now."

[SC-9744] "Really now."

[Lilac] "The wind rustling is quite a nice sound from here, as is the sight of home... and I can feel your strain... that is actually really bad..."

[SC-9744] "How are you even doing this?"

[Lilac] "It takes concentration."

[SC-9744] "Try doing something with your body."

* ''Lilac tries to move her arm... except she can't.'' *

[Lilac] "I can't. Exactly like piloting a missile, I told you."

[SC-9744] "How do you have the energy for this?"

[Lilac] "I don't know and I nearly don't. And I think it's about time I stopped doing this so I can get back on track and back home now."

* ''Lilac stops concentrating and returns to the view of her spaceship... and a large asteroid on a collision course with it.'' *

[Lilac] oh. Oh. Oh nononononoPULLUPPULLUPPULLUP

* Lilac desperately pulls up and barely avoids the asteroid before continuing on home. *
