Paul stood in the common area of the apartments where most of the Time-Travelers lived. He had just explained that the first Translocation Mission would happen on the 2nd.
“So this is it?” Kent asked. “Tomorrow we just find a place to sit and veg out? How long?”
Paul shook his head. “A few days, tops, I reckon. Let’s call it three at most.”
Emma pulled Merritt close to her side. “So we get to sit on the sofa and cuddle for 3 days. I like this!”
Paul grinned. “You’ll be knackered… or as you say, vegged out… but you’ll manage to look after yourselves and all that fuss. Now, I’ve got to mention… you might feel a bit of what your duplicates are going through. Maybe even catch a thought or two… so don’t be too thrown by it.”
Kent furrowed his brow. “Paul, you say we’ll feel a bit and catch a thought or two… what if… something bad happens? What happens to us?”
Paul looked down. “Well, now, everything is shared by you and the two other Moments… Anything… well, it will be spread out. Diluted, you know…”
Hannah fake-laughed. “Well, that sort of puts a damper on the cuddle-fest.”
