Welcome to Gaia! ::

The concept that so many of his fellow--erm, "White Moon" didn't necessarily want to go into space was utterly baffling to Encke.

They had an opportunity that many of Earth would have thrown themselves at. Not taking advantage of it seemed foolish at best. How many other people from Earth could say they had walked on a comet? Not many, he could imagine. He was proud to be one of them himself--it was too bad it wasn't anything he could share with NASA or CSA or ESA or--.

"Does seem wasted. We have an opportunity few others born here have..."

Born here being the qualifier because he imagined his own ability to go to the comet confirmed aliens, or something.

Remarque seemed genuinely interested, and Encke had no real reason to withhold what he had found. It was exciting. Well, besides for the fact the comet was arguably dead. "It's fascinating. There's abandoned buildings all over, architecture is built around tall spires that jut out of the corners of buildings -- and there's taller ones that remind me of Tesla coils?" He was gesturing fairly wildly. "The one place I've been exploring appears to have been the capital, I think. It's surrounded by rocks and sands of a greyish shade. I haven't been able to figure out what they're made of yet. Nor have I really gone out of the capital."

"Not... Really...?!"

Encke seemed genuinely surprised, in turn. Memories? He didn't know that the homeworlds were linked to memories, though it might explain the strange flashes he got while he was there. He had chalked it up to deja vu or his own wild imagination but perhaps there was something else to it?

He'd have to go back and see if he could make more sense of what he had noted down now that he had more context for it.

Seeing the Mirrorworld sounded intriguing and Encke couldn't help being interested. He'd never want to give up going to space, but they certainly had something interesting if it was a labyrinth. In mirrors. He nodded, in agreement, and again when Remarque talked about restoring life to the universe.

"I agree. I'd like to know why my comet is devoid of much of anything living... And maybe how it could be living again. It seems crazy that there may have been so many thriving civilizations that are just gone." He knit his brows. "There has to be some way to fix things."

Encke had relaxed considerably, especially after the talk of space. Remarque was making a lot of sense... Perhaps this Dark Mirror group were just more allies.

Having guesses only, nothing concrete, would be rough. Especially if the past was the key to figuring out their futures on the comets... or planets or whatever somehow.

He wrung his hands and fidgeted awkwardly for a moment, before simply bouncing on the heels of his feet, unable to keep still.

"Yeah, I'll let you know if I remember anything relevant."

It seemed they both had the same general goal, so he had no fear necessarily in sharing information. Maybe it could somehow get them both closer to what they wanted, even if it was from different angles. With different resources. Like that Mirrorspace thing.

"Mirrorspace does sound interesting, I might take you up on that." Afterwards, though, he laughed. "If you're looking to be surrounded by less pretty people, I'm not sure in the right choice." He flashed a winning smile, before snorting at himself. This wasn't exactly the flirtiest of situations... "I appreciate the offer. I think I'm a bit attached to my comet, though."

He paused, before adding, "Doesn't mean we don't have common goals, though."
