“Unknown.” Senku responded easily, although his expression didn’t change. “Anan explained how the tether is done. She went to her origin point, underwent training for void travel to learn about things like how to operate he craft, what the void is, how to deal with voidsickness...things that would be considered the basics and all information we’ve been blocked from having.” He wanted to impress that upon everyone gathered.
“From there, there’s a separation. She doesn’t remember that and she said that is common. The tether is tethered to three points: her physical body, the craft and her traveling self. So, either we’re dealing with a few possibilities.”
He held up one finger and counted off his theories to three. “Either our physical bodies are all at the same origin point, or they’re on our home worlds collapsed in a heap somewhere, or somehow we’ve been abducted whole.” Senku sighed a little bit. “I’m not sure which option is worse.”
“I can tell you that wearing her SCA was no different than borrowing someone else’s SCA on board, which would have me leaning towards a three point tether, but I don’t have enough data to make that determination.” Senku said with a bit of a frown. “There didn’t appear to be a difference being tethered to her craft or ours, and I didn’t notice any adjustment over the three minutes we swapped.”
“Aside from determining the origin point and potentially where the rest of our selves are, we have a real problem if people contract voidsickness to a severe degree because we can’t fix it. Most treatment is to manage the symptoms which can be done easily enough, but in severe cases, Anan says the treatment is to retether them which we can’t.” He frowned. “That’s a very real problem. I don’t know what would happen if someone got that sick, if the tether would hold.”
