"Little, but some shared memories written down, verified by accounts left from the prior crew. I'm not sure how much of it was said in any of the earlier, ah, what we termed interrogations. I believe they were called interviews?"
A newer term for him, as one didn't interview, per say, thus the concept was inherently more of an interrogation or questioning to his understanding, without malice behind it. One investigated. One collected testimonies, as Ten-Nank was here, and as they'd gotten off track with no particular reason not to meander as the conversation has naturally.
"I can summarise for the sake of why I broached the question of time not flowing in a line in all the same directions. Frankly, it doesn't seem like it's a matter of necessarily traveling back, always, so much as arriving shortly after having left."
He waves a hand, because he's offering something else other than his own musings.
"The members of the prior crew who survived came to an agreement on a course of action that involved modifying the Voidtrecker Express. Their engineer seemed responsible for that, and what that means I don't pretend to know, even if I'm extremely curious." A smile, and a man who would have been an engineer in any modern context as well as an artist in all contexts allows that curiosity to shine bright in his eyes, and sighs. "They did whatever it was, then activated... something. The Voidtrecker Express doesn't believe they went missing right at that time, or right after, but sometime following whatever occurred at that point, they did go missing. I... hm. I'm not sure, but I believe they were part of whatever activated our own summonings, the tethers to the Voidtrecker itself. The train claims not to be part of the summoning or the ending of a summons. Potentially to its own frustration."
