Sudden insight - Quantum Fold Chapter 6/4
K’hall paused, his gaze steady, waiting for Kayla to elaborate. Adrienne, already anticipating the answer, tensed.
“The only way there could be another VDD signal,” Kayla said, locking eyes with K’hall, “is if the person activating the signal is me.”
K’hall tilted his head slightly. “My understanding of your kind is limited. Explain how this is possible.”
Kayla nodded. “It involves time travel. The reptilians surprised us. I jumped away but Adrienne wasn’t able to jump. I had to go back—back in time to rescue Adrienne from the reptilians. That act triggered a timeline convergence. There was no alternative.”
She continued, her voice measured. “When I jumped back, I was already here… there were two of me. I grabbed Adrienne and we leapt into an alternate timeline… then later returned to this one.” She paused, watching K’hall for a reaction. He gave none.
“It’s impossible to know where my duplicate went. There was no time to coordinate. The reptilians were closing in. But because of that split, I now exist in two places. That’s the only explanation for the signal you received.”
K’hall ran a hand through his hair, absorbing her words in silence.
“This travel through time,” he said at last, “is only theoretical to us. We can compress time, but not move through it as you describe.”
Kayla offered a faint smile. “It’s more than theory. It’s how I got here—despite originating many ages ago.”
K’hall nodded slowly. “Then tell me—how did you detect your companion’s device when she activated it, yet not detect your duplicate’s device?”
Kayla replied, “I wouldn’t be able to detect her unless she was in the same timeline—and the same dimension. And I don’t know where she went. There are infinite possibilities.”
“Then how do you know your double escaped capture? Did you see her jump?”
“No, I didn’t see her jump. There was time and I believe she did. I did so she did too.”
“Can I assume she would continue the mission to find the lizard’s nest?” K’hall asked.
“Yes. That’s what I would do,” Kayla said. “We’ve been focused on the search. Now that I think about it, I’m very concerned I haven’t picked up her signal. If she’s still pursuing the mission, she should be in this timeline.”
K’hall’s expression darkened. “This is deeply concerning if true. We have no proof she has not been captured. It is imperative that we locate her.”
