You're so cold
but you feel alive
While intensely aware of his warm body beneath her, how his hands moved down to rest on her hips, Maea focused on his eyes, on the face between her hands. Gods, this was hard.

There was only one way to find out.
"About a year ago... I had a... vision. I was able to see how The Voice bring outlanders here." She kept her attention on his expression while she spoke, keeping her voice gentle. Soft. Serious.
"There exists a machine. Some construct, that reaches out across worlds to gather information. About people. She used this to bring people here to free her from the barrier, but even though it's gone, the machine.. is still active. And the way it brings people here... is by taking that information. And copy it. Creating a second version of the original, to place here."
It was only the third time Maea revealed this information to anyone. Twice before had she held her breath and waited for a reaction, and never had she been so scared to see the response it might bring.
She wondered if Sunjata understood the implications of what she was saying.
