Skills remembered - Quantum Fold Chapter 3/8
Kayla couldn’t hide her satisfaction—Adrienne had taken to the VDD with uncanny ease. Over the past few days, they’d leapt across countless locations, Adrienne increasingly taking the lead.
“You’re doing fantastic,” Kayla said with a wide smile, watching Adrienne recalibrate after a particularly sharp reentry.
Adrienne let out a disbelieving laugh. “It’s all so clear. Like muscle memory... like I was doing this just yesterday.”
Kayla nodded. “Some knowledge runs deeper than memory.”
Kayla poured two glasses of wine, took a drink from one and handed the other glass to Adrienne.
“But we haven’t touched time travel yet,” Adrienne added, frowning. “I’m not sure I understand how that works.”
Kayla sipped her wine. “That’s... complicated,” Kayla admitted, her tone shifting. “To be honest, I’m not sure we even fully grasped it when you were one of us before.”
Adrienne tilted her head, curious.
“Time isn’t a straight line,” Kayla continued. “It doesn’t move cleanly from past to present to future. Think of it like a thick, folded blanket—layers compressed together. That fold… we call it the quantum fold. Past, present, future—they’re all happening at once.”
She tapped her VDD lightly. “With this, we can access straight through those layers. But here’s where it gets trickier: an infinite number of alternate timelines are stacked on top of each other. It’s easy to become lost. You must always remember to set a home beacon on your VDD whenever you time travel.”
Adrienne blinked. “So… multiverses. Like in the movies.”
“Yes—and no,” Kayla replied. “Time travel is incredibly dangerous. Especially moving backward. One small misstep, and you might erase yourself. Or worse—change something you never meant to.”
Adrienne gave a short nod. “Yeah, I’ve seen
how that goes in sci-fi.”
“What about other dimensions?” she added. “Are those the same as alternate timelines?”
“Not even close,” Kayla said. “Dimensions aren’t timelines—they’re entirely separate realms. Parallel realities that exist beside ours, unseen but present.”
A flicker of something unreadable crossed her face. “They’re… strange. Some harbor things we have names for—Bigfoot, spirits, demons. Others defy explanation. Not all are safe. A few are.”
Adrienne’s eyes widened slightly. “That’s why—when we escaped the reptiles—you took us between dimensions?”
Kayla nodded once. “Between is a safe zone, one that is neither here nor there.”
Adrienne studied her, catching a stray thought that hadn’t been meant for sharing.
She hesitated. “Kayla… why were you sent here?”
