:::He shook his head... that was a very strange peice of information to take in, but at least it meant that Mel wasn't killing people... as far as he knew:::
Well...
:::he sighed again... should he really be telling anyone? But then, he recalled feeling better the last time he spoke to Luana:::
Do you remember what I told you about my mother..? Luca? According to legend she came to this place...

"I remember. And she changed Cora's world. Isn't that how your revolution started?"

Yes... our nation is a direct result of what happened here. But... like I've told you...it appears that I'm appearing here at a time, before the events which sparked it happen....or something. If that's possible. I have no idea what's going on.

"And, what does that have to do with Melliandra?"

Apparently...she ages strangely...or doesn't age. And I started to think that it was possible for her to survive to my time... There were a few things that made me think that she had something to do with... I don't know.
She reminded me of Kara a lot. So I... I picked up a peice of her hair. To test it...

"Test it?" She leaned forward. "You mean, a DNA comparison?"

:::he moved his hands away just enough, and looked Luana in the eye:::
That's exactly what I mean. The match was perfect.

"Wait a second." Luana stood up, one hand to the side of her head, she took a couple of steps, then turned.
There was a change in everything from her body language and facial expression, to the tone of her voice. The dark cloud that hung over her was blown away, and the rusted gears inside her head began to turn once again.
"So, you tested a hair, and found it to be a perfect match to yourself and your sister." She stepped closer, almost standing over Kal. "You say you picked it up. How sure are you that it was Melliandra's?"

:::Kal hadn't really thought it could be anyone elses:::
It came from the spot she had occupied just before she faded out. It was long, and it matched her color. Who else's could it be!?

"Well," she continued pacing, this time in a path that made it possible to look at K at any time. "Two things you should consider: One, for all we know, there could be hundreds of people who pass through the Brink when we're not here. Humans are constantly shedding skin and hair, so it could have come from any of them. Two, unless you watch it fall, or pluck it from her head, there can't be 100% certainty."

:::Kal looked intrigued for a moment, but soon his face sunk back into it's frown:::
It would be easy for me to believe that. But the truth is, there's a woman who doesn't age, is very powerful, and resembles my mother, who left a spot just moments before I found a piece of DNA belonging to my mother...
what seems to be more likely?

Luana nodded. "It's a strong possibility." She took her seat agian. "But there is such thing as reasonable doubt. I'm not saying she is or isn't, but there is always a chance. We're human after all, and humans make mistakes."
That last sentence she said almost to herself as much as she did to Kal. The idea that the flyer was sabotaged was still only a theory.

Well... that makes me feel better...and then it doesn't.
The problem is not that Melliandra is my mother. The problem is that my mother is appearing here. That's for certain...I have that evidence. Cora is here, and my mother is appearing here. Which means the events which lead to the revolution haven't happened.
:::He rubs his brow again:::
But Cora tells me that she hasn't been able to return to her own time in months. If she can't get home...how does she become a part of the revolution?

"Maybe she beats some long odds and finds a way. Or follows someone through the door." She shrugged. "I couldn't say. I barely know what's going on in my own world right now, and this place makes a whole lot less sense at times."
The change that came over her melted away. She no longer sat tall, her arms wrapped around herself, her eyes stayed low.

:::He realized her mood was deteriorating...:::
Hey...I'm sorry. Here I am crying over myself when...
:::Kal got up and bent over where Luana sat. He picked up both her hands and held them in his:::
It'll be ok... everything.
