"Hunh. Well, congratulations, you're the second person I've met who has an alternate universe double of themselves here. Kind of proves the theory of the multiverse. Thinking of her as a sister is probably more healthy than worrying about the existential crap of whether or not you're the same person."
Every single word that is coming out of Genesis' mouth is utterly fascinating. The look on Jack's face slowly melts into one of wonder, and then one of sympathetic frustration, as Genesis describes the situation on his home planet. Of course, the only time anyone would notice or define such an energy source would be when they were trying to use it for something.
Once Genesis is finished, Jack slowly nods. "It all makes perfect sense. I've met beings, entities that transcend time, or space, or just encompass something so much greater than us simple humans. If a planet has a life force, of course it should have a consciousness, a soul, to go along with it." He frowns. "But, of course, the people on that planet are using it for their own ends without knowing what they're doing. As different as our universes are, some things are completely the same." A dry tone as he says that.
"But there's no mako," he uses Genesis' term, "here. So there's no way to connect to the life force, if this planet had one?"
"Also, betting you've already been asked this question, but, materia," he reaches into his pocket and pulls out his own crystal, sets it on the table. "Different than whatever's being used for these?"
