Author Notes:
"We had to go in the tubes," Tesla says.
"The scientists then plugged our tubes into the machine," adds Faraday.
...Hm. Alright. So, to replicate Experiment Odin, you'd need to climb into one of the containment tubes, and have someone plug it into the machine, then start it up. You're... slightly concerned about what kind of effect that would have. On the other hand, you remember what the library said:
"i f y o u w e r e i n h e r
s i t u a t i o n i t h i n k y o u
c o u l d p u l l y o u r s e l f
t o g e t h e r ."
Did it mean Faraday's...? If you took it a step further--overcharging to Incident F levels, and distributing yourself through the bunker--would you be able to return...? Just on will power?
I don't know if I'm just spouting words, and it's most certainly risky, but it does seem like it could feasibly be a solution here... 'ㅅ';
I think you just said the magic words! If will is the key, which makes sense with ghosts, then we don't need to force anything on her.
Let's try discussing the differences in what we're experiencing right now with both of the ghost, then go talk to both Mama and Jane Red. J-Red can read us directly and may have a better grip on what questions to ask about folding as a compression effect on 3D space (possibly 4D or 5D, we might be missing a clue right there). When we have the conversation to a point than Jane (our Jane) can understand, we go back and talk to Faraday again, talk her through it!
Yes, I'm fully aware I'm a nutter...I vote to do it!
I vote to do it!
We don't even need to teach her how to do the same, we occupy the same space and squeeze her into the shape she needs, and then squeeze ourselves down once we're done getting her to where she should be.
Oh....
Oh my...
It just dawned on me... folding is almost the opposite of stretching thin and going deep. If one could be seen as extending oneself outward to maximum potential, folding in could be seen (kind of like a katana) could be seen as gaining the refinement and power of 'stretching thin', but folding back prevents from stretching out, so benefit without the risk, but instead of being just a blanket effect on the benefit, it's refined and honed... precise.
I mentally head-canon dub this idea... project Katana.
Edit: Oh... and double-oh-my... being in spirit form, this specifically enhances the -human- aspect of Jane (as it was pointed out the Red didn't do it). As far as "vessels to hold body" though, although Jane's body is 'small', it's attached to the red which is a LOT of room to fit in, and Red can also adapt the body as needed, so, if anyone could, we should be able to fit back in our body no problem. It may even make working with the red easier as both the alien and human self will cross boundaries instead of the red being the only boundary-crosser (but we'll need to fold regularly as we enhance the spirit half to keep it from getting out of hand.)
Let's not go and try that, alright?
Therefore, us imprint-boosting, then 'spreading out' then coming back together into an interact-able form (like now) might be a better idea for us instead of Odining ourselves. Still could have unforeseen negatives, of course.
This idea also sounds like what the Library suggested.
Because SCIENCE! As opposed to well thought out repeatable experimentation to prove or disprove a well formulated hypothesis with peer review...Oh yea there was no peer review ever, just results.
We can talk it over with Dr. Finch and wait until we're physically back-in-shape before attempting a process that may keep us from going back into ourself physically for a prolonged time.
On that note, I think we're going to be useless for the rest of the day at this point. If we've got anything left replacing bone armour or working on Elizabeth would be priority. Otherwise just chill until we can sleep (we may be tired enough to just sleep the rest of the day anyway).
If Jane, who already has her whole half-eldritch heritage and a dimension of red to tap into, gets access to that kind of immense electrical power... what would happen ?
Probably a question worth asking the Tradesmen, assuming they know. Alternatively, an experiment leading to knowledge they'd be interested in.
Caution is required, but we can proceed.
I bet we get new abilities from all this.
I wonder if Jane can create diffeent outfits for Telsa after imprint strengthening. It would be similar to giving Red a fresh outfit.
We might be able to find out whats wrong with that girl.
Not too hard to understand, really.
take her can and put it in the room with tesla(but first asking tesla to Make sure the Edison would go on a murdering rampage) Releaser her form the can, and be careful with what we do.
this could work.
Jane Doe:pray to Morgenstern, the great glasses cat in the basement.
