[The voice that comes over the tablets sounds calm and collected, masking the panic and fear of the woman speaking.]

I don't know who she was staying with, nor what unit she had been assigned, but if anybody has seen Emma Swan recently, I'd be glad to know. I can't seem to get in contact with her, and though I didn't know her well...

[She has to stop for a moment. It is so, so hard to force her voice not to crack, saying those words.]

Though I didn't know her well, she doesn't seem the type to purposefully make herself unavailable. I suspect she's returned to our home, but I thought it appropriate to inquire about her regardless. Thank you all.

[And then a pause.]

If someone told you about the future that awaits you back home, would you try to change it though it seems set in stone?

And in that time, people will grow in a way to do just that. If it's changed, it will all be lost. In some ways, yes, it would be. And in others, the cost would be too great.

So the cost of changing it would be great, and the cost of letting it run its course would be great as well, you think?

voice

[ladyofrivendell]

It depends upon which is the greater cost, which course of action you choose.

Is there a way to know if I haven't lived either possible future yet?

voice

[ladyofrivendell]

None but for talking to whomever it was that first informed you of the future.
