Eva: Hm, I didn't think having just 10% of your powers would feel like I'm a little stronger than your average amalgram. What do you think? Am I weaker or stronger than my father fused?

(Her question is met with silence. She stands there for a moment until she remembers why.)

Eva: Oh...right…*Sigh* *Thinking* I was hoping maybe I could still hear them. But I guess I'm lucky I still remember everything despite being fused. I guess I have Technas to thank for that. *Deeper sigh*

(Her keepsakes begin to glow again and the beings form in front of her. None are able to speak, but their gestures and mannerisms are unique to their respective persons.)

Eva: I do still have you, don't I? Though, you can't speak. I suppose I could give you voices, but I don't know if it's right to make you all into something you aren't. I don't think I can revive you the way I'd like you to be and I'd feel haunted if I did anything close to it. No amalgram has power over life or death, so this is good enough for me, I think. Well, time to go meet the humans.

(The beings walk with her to the center of the island. She told corny jokes, laughed, played, and had one sided conversations with all of them. They gestured in according to what she said, which made her feel massive relief as she thought she may have gone crazy. She takes her time getting there in which she arrives about a week later. She arrives at the obelisk and stands there.)

Eva: (So they're here. I was told they were underground, but after seeing Micheal's memories, I know it's a little more complicated than that.)

(The beings disappear into her keepsakes. She waves her hand and a podium erects in front of the obelisk. She walks up to it and presses keys in a complicated pattern.)

Eva: Weren't you the careful one, Micheal? Setting a password like this to unlock the devices which then open a subspace you had created to house the hundreds of millions of comatose humans in their incubation tubes. But you told everyone there was an underground facility. Of course, only Trey- my dad, knew.

(After a click and whirring noise, the island begins to shake. Sectioned facilities begin to rise from portals opening up and surrounding Eva. Each facility numbered in the tens of thousands with each housing hundreds of thousands of people.)

Eva: Wow, I've never seen a normal human before. I wonder if they also have cool eyes or strange birthmarks. Wait, why am I wondering, I already know. Having knowledge about everything makes life a little boring.

(She walks around a few facilities, touching and gauging the pods. After a bit, she determines what she wants to do.)

Eva: They still have a lot of time it seems. Their cells are waking up little by little. One or two at a time every minute. Let's speed up their time a bit...Or should I wait? Nah, I'm feeling a little lonely. I think having some real interaction will be good for me.

(She takes a deep breath and claps her hands together. Her aura expands to three times the size of the island.)

Eva: Speed up.

(She speeds up the time around each pod until a minute before they would awake.)

Eva: Okay, there we go. Just enough time to make myself presentable.

(Each being forms in front of her, gesturing disapproval.)

Eva: Hey! First impressions are important, remember?

Beings: *Shake their heads*

Eva: Come on guys, I want to look good. I know I look 12, but-.

(One of the pods decompresses which freaks Eva out. She pops up a rock and jumps behind it. The beings quickly follow her, but they stand out like sore thumbs.)
