So, guys, a simple question: What in the Void happened to Meredith?!

First she's praying with Leliana, then she is almost killing the Hero of Ferelden and now she is missing in action. For a bunch of heroes, we're quite unable to keep track of things happening just right under our noses, aren't we?

Whoever is willing to, let's go find her.
I'll be able to get some sleep after the crazy templar is in the Dungeons.

Preferably, non-magical people.
I don't want her jumping over us right from the start.

Leliana: Is her sword somewhere safe? Please, tell me it is somewhere safe!

Dagna: I know it's tempting, but DON'T destroy her sword like we did to Samson's armor. Just don't. We still don't know the consequences of our little time here and not even how this can affect the Time.

Fine, fine!

Time paradox, I get it!
We don't know how this could affect little things, a stone causing the water to ripple, etcetera.

If there is no Conclave for Corypheus to strike, then there is no Breach, no death of Divine Justinia. Of course there is still the problem with the Grey Wardens, but without the Breach maybe this could give them more time to snap out of their 'following-a-magister-seems-a-good-ideia', since Corypheus would need more time to plan and to act on it.

Think about it.

Wait, purple? Oh bosh, you met Aria. Please tell me no one is smeared across the ceiling or the walls? ~~Please tell me she hasn't stolen that awful throne for her own...~~

Well, she did try to crack Meredith's armor open with her power and I believe she did manage that, in some degree. The ceiling actually fell over us but no, no people painting the walls with their innards.

Well, that's a relief. Umm...Aria is not as crazy bad as this Meredith but she's not...very nice. Just a heads up for anyone that comes across her.

She seemed very... stern?

Well, I'll keep it in mind.

She's not referred to as the Queen of Omega for no reason, I'm afraid.

No, I'm not.

I hope you realize this isn't exactly private.

Eep!

The whole point is this not being private, I'm sure.

I must thank you for saving my life, lady Aria. You handled quite well the situation with the Knight-Commander. Alas, I'm afraid we still need to send her back to her own reality and time once this is over, so I would like to know where she is.

Don't think too hard about it, I had extra medi-gel.

When I last saw her, I had locked her up in a cell underground. She should still be there. When she wakes up, I want her first.

Unfortunately, this is not about what you want.

If time paradox is to be taken seriously, then we can't mess up more with it. Unless you want to tend to her wounds or to have tea, you should stay away.

She attacked me, and you're telling me to stay away?

Fine. I'll humor you. I won't hurt her. But, if she attacks me again, I will defend myself.

Defense, yes.
Perfectly reasonable.

...

You dare to speak ill of my throne?

Really?!

Of course not, ma'am. ~~At least Joker's cockpit had leather seats. That just looks uncomfortable.~~

The Inquisition's throne is not about comfort, is about power and how I want people to see me as Inquisitor.

I only use that shit to judge people.

If you say so, ma'am. I would think you'd still want to be sitting on something less...unpleasant.

~~No, actually I want a less unpleasant job.~~

Not as unpleasant as having to carry on the death sentences I pass.

...I can imagine. I'm sorry.

They say a leader is less inclined to sentence people to death for silly reasons if they are the ones to carry the order. I agree.

~~Unless we're talking about ruthless crazed leaders, of course~~

...I think Shepard would likely agree with you. I know he has some choice words in store for a certain leader who prefers to supervise via holographic interface.

...Umm...via long-distance image?

Long-distance images.
Yes, can work with that concept.

But here we call it 'Eluvians' and despite that we can use it to speak to people, they were mostly used to transport people from one place to another. And by 'people' I mean 'elves'. And that was a very long time ago. Most Eluvians are broken now.

~~And I think we're all her as consequence of a Eluvian breaking in the real Skyhold.~~

Interesting. The Mass Relays are used to facilitate long-distance travel, but communication is more often done via quantum-entanglement.

...Two pieces of a single object which resonate with the same frequency, despite the distances between them, which can be translated into images and sounds via a computer...

...Magic. Bosh, this is difficult.

My Ancestors were, like, really suckers for the Beyond as they used to call the Fade on their days. Eluvians were portals made to connect the material world to the Fade, more specifically, to a place called 'the crossroads'. From the crossroads you could find all other Eluvians and enter them, provided you had the right 'key'.

But then, people says the Ancient Elfs were capable of casting spells on the course of days without a break, and the crossroads itself was created by them. They were also imortal, which considerably helped with the 'casting along days' thing.

The immortal aspect sounds suspiciously like the Asari...and so does the "doing things for days" aspect of your people. It's odd how somethings remain the same, despite dramatic differences elsewhere.

Somehow, I think our Relays are bigger than your Eluvians.
