The Mad God sighed within his mind, rubbing his hand across the pod sensually. "She is almost ready, Ashy. Just a few more small things, and you will be home again." He smiled a bit, but continued, "Looks like you're stuck with me for just a little bit longer. I have some things I need to take care of here at Madworld, but after that, our next location is somewhere close...but in reality, very far away. We'll be back for your body, and hopefully, everything will be how it should be." He continued in his mind, Mir giving him a strange look as Max made facial expressions while just looking at the girl's body.
"You're creeping me out..." Mir said, the Mad God not paying attention, so continuing on a different topic. "...So, about these Vokornians?" Mir said with upward inflection, catching Max's attention.
"Oh, I suppose I'll have Ash explain when she awakens." Max said flatly, "They are an incredibly old race, though, and suffered a catastrophe were all of them lost their bodies and were forced to take on energy forms instead. They had many powers, mental in nature, one of which was precognition. The same power granted by the All-Seeing Eyes. See, I put two and two together and found out that those eyes are the very last remnants of a Vokornian's physical body." Max replied, leaving out the specific part where he had one trapped within his mind at the moment. "But, that's enough studying. We have to go fix our Madworld."
"Right." Mir answered. "Any idea on what the current state of affairs is?"
"Hmm." Max thought, recalling the energy he felt, reading it like a blind man would braille. "I know you haven't particularly met, but Val is in command of Madworld. Their Mad Goddess, Mad Queen, whichever she has adopted for herself, and the citizens are real instead of being robotic in nature. Val's noble steward and lawgiver is Otto, unsurprisingly. That bastard is up on Warworld and commands it like a mobile battle station in orbit like a moon. Godblessed is a lawgiver and a warlord here, by the looks of it. But, my question is, how did you end up back on the Ark? You were in the room when Doom restarted the Multiverse."
"Not a damn clue." Mir said, pointing to his golden ring. "Maybe this thing teleported me back to it? Only thing I can think of."
"Entirely possible - but I never intended for it to have some homing teleportation device. Good to know, though." Max replied, "Let's get going. We need to go see Otto and then Val. Maybe we can job some memories."
