[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?

It's not 'set in stone' at all. Hasn't anyone ever told you about alternate realities? [ He sounds angrier than the question necessitates, but the alternate reality hypothesis is one he needs to cling to for his own sanity, so he'll defend it down to his last breath. ]

I hardly understand what there is to be so frustrated about. To answer your question, though, I'm not familiar with the term, no.

How about 'parallel universes'?
