Calculating the Leap
Azurat: Zetsfir still exists. Go figure.
Bus: They do but they've become warped and insane. It's some kind of genocidal mega-cult.
Azurat: I don't like the sound of that.
Bus: After I became fluent in the local language, I spent a lot of time learning about the history of this world.
Bus: For all of this world's recorded history, Zetsfir has been hunting and murdering people.
Azurat: I have a hunch as to why. They've taken things way too far.
Azurat: After you and Ravenna disappeared, the V-CORE aboard the Morgan's Gate had extensive logs of its activation.
Azurat: This triggered a major investigation aboard the Morgan's Gate.
Azurat: My first discovery was that you, Ravenna, and my wife were not vaporized but sent forward in time.
Azurat: A deep analysis of the data showed that all three of you were sent to different points in time.
Azurat: Because the V-CORE is spatially locked to the Morgan's Gate's position, you would all still be aboard the ship.
Bus: I was but I couldn't find Ravenna anywhere.
Azurat: All indicators suggest the destination times were after the Morgan's Gate landed on this planet.
Bus: That was roughly 707 years ago on the current calendar. The calendar system changed 1278 Kaperthian years ago.
Azurat: 707 years since the Morgan's Gate landed?
Bus: Yes, by my calculations, the calendar changed 428 years after we left. Long before this planet was settled.
Azurat: You never fail to impress me, Marvin.
Bus: Well, I've had a lot of time to work through the numbers. The years here are 1096 days and the days are 25 hours.
Azurat: Yes, I've observed that much from the star positions.
Azurat: Wait... now that I know about when you arrived, I can calculate the other two leaps from the V-CORE's data...
Bus: Ah, ha! You were able to find that out?
Azurat: Yes... but it's all relative. You just gave me a vital piece of the puzzle.
Azurat: According to the numbers I have, you jumped 4418 years and it looks like Ravenna jumped 4428 years to...
Bus: This year! So, if she's really here, she hasn't been here very long at all!
Azurat: Precisely. Sadly... my wife seems to have arrived....
Azurat: ...around 707 local years ago. She definitely would not be alive in this time period.
Bus: We have a time machine, though! We could go back and find her!
Azurat: Perhaps. There is a major catch, however. Time travel has a horrible twist to it...
Azurat: I made some errors previously and went too far into the future here before coming back.
Bus: Professor, I believe in you.
Azurat: The time intervals of the migration and the present day... 2214 Earth years apart.
Bus: Oh, yeah... I noticed. Hey, how did you arrive here with the Hovercrane?
Azurat: It took a while to make it possible...
