Description M: *knocks on hatch*, HEY NEIL IT'S ME!!

N: Identify yourself!!!

M: Come on Neil we've known each other for 30 years, how do you not recognize my voice???

N: Just identify yourself I'm not going to needlessly risk myself.

M: You already do when you go out and vanish all the time but fine ill humor you, It's me Myra.

N: Hehe just playing with you, it's good to see you again.

M: and you despite being the most paranoid person i know. just wanted to come visit see where you find yourself with your projects.

N: trust me what I'm working on now is definitely the most uninteresting and tedious thing I've ever worked on.

M: oh don't downplay your accomplishments!!! I've seen you discover and understand all sorts of crazy tech, like the dimensional travel device or all those weapons you used to work on while we were still under Scurv.

N: "while we were under Scurv"  yeah sure but I got a lot of help from "wide-eye" back in the day.

M: Then, how about now?, I've watch you accomplish things on your own like new materials, or tools of your own, or finding a universal cure to most ailments? hell I think your biggest one is probably all the dimensions you've been to and managed to come back alive from.

N: Okay first off you're right about the materials, the tools? they're half-assed most of the time or me tying to repair stuff I don't understand half the time, that universal cure? It's preventative it won't save me or anyone if you find yourself in the later stages of a disease.

And the dimensions, I'm just glad I'm able to make it in one piece all the time, though I don't think my streak of luck is going to last long at my age.

M: how old are you again like 67?

N: 78...

M: that isn't adding up how are that old? I remember you being like 37 when we deserted.

N: yeah there's a thing about dimensional travel i wasn't aware of until now, the flow of time can be different in some places, most of the time minimal differences between those places and places like Bir-D3 and Coloss-D15, I am so lucky I haven't found a world where time goes so fast that I just decompose on the spot.

But the places i did find since i just learned this recently by testing the waters with throw away clocks and seeing how fast time goes by, but because of the exposure that i did face, I'm 11 years older then i should be.
 
M: Don't you sometimes think it might be time to just settle down?

N: Not while I still believe there is something great waiting for me out there, think about it, a place of ones wildest dreams and desires just somewhere out in the multiverse.

M: That sounds wonderful Neil, but I'm going to say this again for the hundredth time after my visit from empyr-8131, you're trying to comprehend infinity and you'll die doing it.

N: And die I will, knowing that I got ever closer to paradise.

M: Isn't Coloss-D15 paradise enough? hell even Bir-D3 sounds paradise enough.

N: No not while Scurv is still out there looking for us, and Bir-D3 I found remnants of something way bigger then Scurv there, It's doomsday if it wakes up.

M: You seriously are starting to sound crazy when you talk about Bir-D3, And how are you still this worried about Scurv anyways? you talk about him like he's the boogeyman under your bed.

N: Him his grunts they're still out there waiting for us to show ourselves, I just know it, I mean look at you several relationships in and they all tried to turn you in!

M: Not cool Neil...

N: Am i wrong?

M: ...

N: Sorry I've gone a little overboard bringing up your relationships like that...

M: It's not the first time but still not cool...


*their conversation goes silent*



This is one of the last few visits Myra made months before Neil's last excursion to the unknown.

Myra's fate is yet to be concluded.
