At the moment Jingyi pauses for affirmation, it will be a long one - either where Jingyi will need to clarify he's asking for affirmation, or for Ten-Nank to go, "You wish for confirmation?" and if it's a yes, then, "Yes, this is a way of viewing it," to help him along to the next question that's easier for them to assume as one.

"Physical bodies can theoretically, technically, some, enter the void - there are some beings who can tolerate it, but useful documentation of who, what, if there is or isn't side-effects - I couldn't tell you. I don't know. It's never mattered to me. But from scanning SCAs of the passengers of the Voidtrecker Express, of what information we have gathered on this vessel, it conducts 3-way tethers. A separation of body, self, connected to the void vessel. So this is clear."

Just to help the thinking brain. But then Ten-Nank will wait as requested, waiting for this apparent end, for Jingyi to get through everything spoken, rehashed into an understanding on his own.

"Talking, thinking, putting thoughts into words, anything into words. It's tiring, isn't it. You asked questions, but I wished to express this. I must take all of your words, as you do mine, make sense of them. If only I was an individual of true understanding. They exist. So much exists."

The weariness that they started with was pulled back for a while, but it begins to slip through again with their own aside, keeps as they continue, get to what Jingyi's assumedly waiting for.

"Machines, the ones I spoke of, are in buildings. Large things, like the working parts of ships. The ones that monitor the health of individuals from the physical side. Another term is the 'present side', but that may be as confusing to understand. Oh, you asked before, too - why are you physical here? Solid? It's because, this is you. You are you. Your essence, soul, spirit, ghost - we use these words to convey some understanding, but it is your tether to the craft that projects what you know yourself by your Essence. If you know yourself to be solid, then you are solid. If you know yourself to bleed, then you bleed. You may not understand it, but I find I understand little, too. Things just are. I did little to dictate, guide, how things should be, why."

They pause for a beat, then sigh quietly, a mumbling of, "Words and words and words..." following it.

But nevertheless, they continue a second later. "There are so many ways that time travel can be conducted. In the void - what do I know? If you have a craft that can move to points in time, then yes, who knows, will there be conflict? There might be, might not be. It is risky, but possible. You must be careful. You must have the right technology, abilities, capabilities. You want more concrete answers, I believe, apologies if it is presumptuous - but long conversations where I can't rely on only a few programs makes me exhausted. Researching and translating and translating and translating..."
