In a whole new world

"Hmmmmmmmmmmm, they must have learned about it from the original surviving humans..."

"Recently, a…. ‘friend’ of mine, I’m stressing that word mind you, has tried to convince me that I made an idol out of a madman. A question. Did you know the Xorda sent a diplomat when you dissected it?"

"Does it matter? Regardless of what your ‘friend’ thinks, based on what I know about Xorda neurology, as well as history itself, both 12,000 years back and recently, the Xorda are too sensitive, impulsive, and powerful, to really ever be allies with for long, without having to be on tippy-toes all the blasted time. Even if we were able to understand it, how would we know what it was saying was genuine? How would we know their alien race hadn’t evolved, with the ability to not reveal a single tell, in their entire damn body…?"

"Understandable, I suppose. You should still follow the Kintobor way, of course, but, you should also find and take measures to make sure you retain your sanity."

"You mean, would I care to become a cyborg? Not at this moment. I should be able to go well enough without."

  He puts his hand on Julian’s shoulder. “You might be mistaken about that, Julian. You see, I’ve done many a thing for the improvement of science, that most human beings would consider sickening, back in my day. It’s the Kintobor way: You do the more inconceivable things, so that the more moral-minded fools can feel good about the fact that they didn’t have to…”

Ivan chuckles. "Think nothing of it, my descendant. At the very least, I now know that my family line has become something most people only dream of their descendants becoming~"

  He chuckles. Well, this seemed like an agreeable enough descendant. “The honor and pleasure is mine, Julian, especially considering noone from my era ever lived long enough to see those from their lineage rise to such great heights.”

"….I’m afraid you praise me too highly. I destroyed the House you built. The House of Ivo is…. nothing after me." He said, sounding somewhat…. depressed. "But I am trying my best to rebuild it…. The multi-verse is a vast place. And there are many wrongs to right."

"I’m sure your best will be sufficient for whatever tasks you decide to uptake. Otherwise, what worth would the name Kintobor still manage to retain?"

Ivan chuckles, taking the datapad. “Alright. I’ll be sure to visit sometime, once I’ve discovered a bit more about this era.”

"Excellent. Now if you excuse me, dear ancestor, I have an empire to run. Until we meet again." Eggman bowed as he disappeared through a portal.

Ivan grins. “Well, I’ll have to think about it first. I do want to find out about as much of the 141st century as I can, before agreeing to any long term deals with anyone here.”

"Yes yes of course. Wouldn’t want to overwhelm you, correct?" Eggman grinned in reply. "New Megaopolis is where you can find me…and oh yes-" A pause as Eggman hands Ivan a data pad, "-that contains the blueprints for a teleportation device of my own creation. It’ll allow you to come to New Megaopolis with ease."

Ooc: Kinda.
