1: Julia has stood up.
Julia: Krizman? But he died! Raynott, Rati, they all died up there!
Jackson: None of the recovered footage from the incident shows what happened to him, but there’s no way he survived up there all this time…
2: Krizman smiles as he speaks, head tilted slightly.
Krizman: We’ve missed us. All of us.
3: The other two astronauts join Idowu in front of Melissa and her machine, standing between her and Krizman.
4: Krizman speaks, seen in profile.
Kirz: And if we’ve risked so much to come here… We wonder if we missed us, too.
5: Melissa squints. Krizman had been looking right at her.
Uh, Kriz, you got something in your eye, dunno if you noticed yet…
Oh, that phrasing gives me the best kind of chills~
‘We’ve missed us’. As a plural system… whoof, that HITS!
This is the Entity known as the black Idol, not the Person they are using to try to trick the People of Earth..
Sad and Horrifically Tragic at the same time…
The Black Idol doesn’t see this as deception, it’s not even trying to trick them, it’s smart enough to know they won’t be fooled. It sees it as desperately trying to cure its Identity Dissociative Disorder.
“We missed us.” It’s a hive mind that knows most of it is missing. Imagine if pieces of your brain flew off insisting that weren’t you. Wouldn’t you do everything possible to get yourself back?
