Uh-oh.
The next day at the Institute was very nice. Gwenny talked at breakfast with Miss Laura Kinney, who'd brought them there and was warming up to the whole situation. Miss Kinney introduced Gwenny to her visiting brother, Mr. Logan. He seemed very nice. He lived most of the time in Tokyo, but he wasn't a fascist.
Miss Rogers was with the big blue fuzzy man, Dr. McCoy, translating the Tallus's poetry. They'd grabbeda bite and then gone to finish up with that.

And then Gwenny realized whom she hadn't seen all morning: Mr. Kev. He wasn't anywhere to be found. Apparently, this Mr. Ramsay -- Mrs. Ramsay was just the cutest doggie ever, even if it was so sad! -- was missing, too.

	Gwenny looked very serious. "Maybe Caesar's metaphorical? For some other fascist? Maybe we're supposed to kill Hitler?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I think we may have missed the window on that in this universe," Dorrek says. "The fact that it was in Latin might be important -- Shakespeare's written in English, why would the Talus translate it into Latin when we'd just have to go and get it translated back into English?"

	Sarah's head snaps up. "No, no... she's on the right track I think. Not Hitler... but someone on that level... and why... the passage is important, but the Latin has to mean something? Older, maybe? Kevin, how did you cure Rahne?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Um... well....just some stuff Doug was working on; he needed help with the machinery and programming." He didn't want to mention the original origin of the machinery. Rankin and Worthington and Bennet would hear and have a FIT. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Dane notes that Kevin's answer isn't much of an answer, but says nothing else at the moment. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Dorrek narrows his eyes at Kev's non-answer, trying to remember all the villains from the Avengers' files that the Tallus might be referring to as 'Caesar'. "You don't think it might be Kang the Conqueror, do you?" Ugh, Kang. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Not happy, not at all. "Kev... what stuff? Doug is a computer genius, not a doctor. This could be important... this world is in danger. Deep, serious danger. It is still in danger, or we would not be here. What were you working on?" She glances at the others. "I would guess a time traveler or someone who has been around a long time, yeah..."

	"We reprogrammed some old machinery downstairs to fix her sealed RNA -- look, getting bogged down in the details is just going to get around to freak Rankin and Worthington and Bennet out, this has got to be completely unrelated to the job. We got lucky this time and Doug did something smart instead of something Crazy." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	... "Alright, but I may have you show me this old machinery sometime we can do it quietly anyway. Can you think of any threats from this universe that might be, say, older than English? You know the place better than we do." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Then, and I say this with all respect due to them, they should not be listening," Dorrek replies, pushing himself away from the counter and beginning to pace to try to vent his frustration. "We are here to fix whatever has gone wrong with this reality so we can get back to our own. Not talking about a potential cause of the problem is not going to fix it."

	Sarah sighs. "That his best friend was desperate and his sister had an incurable condition. If Apocalypse is involved, we have a big problem on our hands. In my world, he runs a pretty literal evil empire. In Blink's, he took over about half the world. We need to find out his current status in this world." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Aye," Kev mutters. "But Apocalypse hasn't been seen in years. He took a real beating when he did all that garbage to Rankin." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
