Phi walked over to Archetype, who was sitting down and examining his new set of blades.
"Happy now? I got a weapon, all set, ready to go." She said in her usual deadpan demeanor.
"Why are you making it seem like I wanted them? They're for your own good. Even if you won't be fighting, it's good to have a weapon by your side, just in case something unexpected happens." Archetype said, still looking at and polishing his own weapons.
There was a brief silence before Phi spoke again. "Hey, uh... I'm..." She seemed to be struggling with coming up with the right words to say. "S... Sorry I snapped at you earlier. It wasn't very professional." She exhaled pretty loudly after saying that, as she wasn't used to apologizing to people.
Archetype looked up at Phi and gave a slight smile. "Eh, don't worry about it. I probably deserved it, anyway." He turned back to his blades, but looked as if he had something to say that was at the tip of his tongue.
Phi noticed his change of expression, and then slowly inhaled and exhaled.
Everyone seems to be busy at the moment. And I'm sure you're dying to know how I was able to communicate with you through your conscious, right? Phi communicated with Archetype again through his conscious.
Archetype stopped what he was doing and looked at Phi. "I do... although I admit, I'm a little scared to find out how."
'Scared?' Pretty weird thing to say with someone of your status. Phi responded.
"...... huh. Your mouth didn't move when you said that...." Arche said blankly.
....
....
"W-WHAT THE HELL?!? WHY ISN'T YOUR MOUTH MOVING?!" He knocked over the seat and erratically backed away from her.
Heh, I've been talking to you like this for the past 10 seconds. Phi responded calmly.
"But how are you doing that?" Arche regained his composure, stepped in front of the chair and looked at her directly.
"Could it be... telepathy?" He asked curiously.
Not exactly. You see, Archetype... She picked up the fallen seat and casually sat down on it with her legs crossed. We can access the Morphogenetic Field. She said with a hint of sadness in her voice.
"Morpho... what?" His head started to throb again.
Phi stopped communicating with Archetype through his conscious and continued talking to him normally.
"Morphogenetic Field" She repeated. "You and I are among the few that can access it. To put simply: It is a "field" where forms, structures, patterns, thoughts, language and order of everything in reality is stored. Any information contained, transmitted, or created by matter is held in the Morphogenetic Field.
She cleared her throat and continued.
"Communicating with each other through this field is called 'resonating'. The more we resonate, the stronger our 'signal' becomes; To the point where we can communicate with each other through time and space. In other words, we could contact each other in alternate timelines."
Archetype stood there, frozen and flabbergasted by everything coming out of this woman's mouth. Alternate timelines? Field connected by reality? Resonating? None of this made sense.
"Hold on, hold on!" Archetype interrupted her. "So you're saying I have some sort of... Super Power?!" He started laughing. "Lady, I've been alive for over 20 years, and I've never experienced any of what you're saying. I'm just a normal person and that's that."
"You're right." Phi responded simply.
"... huh?" He was now confused more than ever.
"It's not a Super Power." She elaborated. "We are normal human beings; but ones that have excelled past the standard processing."
"What do you mean by 'processing'?" He asked, with his face practically squished against hers from curiosity.
She pushed him back. "What I mean is an average human being can only access extraordinarily small portions of their brain. However, we can can access a far greater percentage of brain processing. Because of this, it is thought to be the reason why we can enter the Morphogenetic Field."
Archetype stared at her for a while, then folded his hands and tried to follow her explanation.
"So you're saying I'm, uh... I mean, WE are normal people, but with accelerated brain function. And that acceleration gives us the ability to enter this "field" you speak of? So you're saying the field is all around us?"
Phi nods. "Technically, yes. Here's an example for you: When cats look at a television screen, all they see are black lines running across the screen, right? But when humans look at the screen, they can actually see the picture, unaltered and how it's meant to be. Humans process information differently to the point where we can see the moving pictures, while cats can only see black lines. It's a similar concept with the Morphogenetic Field."
Phi sat there, talking about all this like it was nothing. Figured she has to be used to all this by now.
"This is crazy..." He looked down at the ground, trying to put together everything she said.
"Heh, crazy? This world is filled with it, and this stuff doesn't even compare." Phi chuckled.
"... You said something about alternate timelines. That we can access it." Arche spoke slowly. "What do you mean by that?"
"Pretty much what I said before. You can communicate with an alternate Phi, and I can communicate with an alternate Archetype. As for talking to our alternate selves... I haven't been able to do that yet. Not sure if it's even possible." She responded.
"But in this timeline, the reason why I'm here... was to have you join the Resistance, and help save the world."
