[Sherry's been looking at this comm unit for days trying to figure out how to ask this, today she just decides to bite the bullet.]

I guess there's no way to ask this without sounding insane but, has anyone else here met people from their world but different times?

Now what year is it and who's the president?

[g_jr]

With how recent events turned out I'm too afraid to try changing anything.

[Although she would really really REALLY like to avoid spending six months in a neo-umbrella lab. And stop Leon from being framed for assassination.]

[hopefanatic]

I'm not sure. But regardless it's quite unpleasant, you know?

2013 and President Adam Benford was just assassinated.

What's your name?

[g_jr]

I can't imagine how difficult something like that would be to deal with. And I just heard from someone else going through the same thing.

Matthew Miller, MI6 agent and one of the remaining humans from 2019. I've never heard of a President Adam Benford.

[g_jr]

[Sherry reads over the message several times eyes widening.]

Sherry Birkin, DSO agent, who was present in 2013 for you and what happened to the people?

[notblayde]

Defense Science Offices?

It's a bit shameful, but I wasn't particularly concerned with American politics at the time. I was only in the country for the criminal aspects then. Didn't appreciate much at 15, I'm afraid.

Standard alien invasion.

Raccoon. [#triggered] You wouldn't be talking about Raccoon City, would you?

[hopefanatic]

It really is quite despairing... But I have to look on the bright side and turn that despair into hope.

[asaqueenshould]

...Oh dear. That would make it more difficult to judge.

Being on the opposite side of your problem, I'm not sure if I have any practical advice - only that your friend might ask about it eventually, and the truth might help more than dodging the question.

[paradoxically]

Believe me, it's not that weird.

I haven't met anyone like that here. But I've had something similar happen.

[jiyuujin]

I think better than some yes. [Like her or anyone going through what she's mentioned.] We don't often have the chance to interact with our duplicates so I would say it has been an illuminating experience overall.

[ You have her curious. ]

[albionchanged]

You...oh.

[g_jr]

Yeah, so much as happened I'm a little scared to talk about it, what if the timeline changes when we go back? [Because they have to make it back right?]

But you have a point Leon is going to start asking questions. I better decide what to tell him.

[g_jr]

Even without traveling between worlds?

[g_jr]

Duplicates? Is that what you meant by different versions?

[This doesn't remind her of anything bad at all,]

So like clones?

[g_jr]

You know about Raccoon city?

... ... ...

What year is it for you?

text;

[g_jr]

People from the same world like earth, but it's a different earth, and people from different times but the one from the past is dead in the future.

[g_jr]

No Division of Security, it's an anti-bioterrorism organization.

And did you really just say an alien invasion?

[g_jr]

That's almost poetic. And I guess that's all any of us can do, try and make the best of it.

What's your name? I'm Sherry.

[g_jr]

Yeah... talk about awkward.

[g_jr]

Yeah, and the more I see the nutter this place seems to get. And now there's a kid here too? Are they okay?
