Hey, believe me, it's okay. I know what kind of a headtrip arriving here can do, and I didn't even have any of you to make it worse. I just kind of came in cold.
And here I was kidding Guerin that he had a great-niece or nephew out there somewhere.
[ Nope. Not going there. ]
You know I'll be here when you're ready to tell me more, right?
jesus, no. Isobel's not even technically related to Max so. No we're not doing those jokes, thanks.
I don't mind telling you any time, Alex. The short of it is I can sometimes have visions. My psychic energy is probably alien energy at work. That's why I'm thinking I might have some latent mind powers like Isobel's that will let me fuck with people.
The necklace? The only I ALWAYS wear and that she gave me at high school graduation? Apparently has some of those special flowers or whatever that dampen the alien's abilities.
I think her mind's been... slipping ever since. And mine stayed fine. While I had it.
Alex. I'm not scared of what's going to happen to me, ok? And Michael made me this bracelet. It came with me. If things get bad, I can always put it on.
You might not be, but let the rest of us worry a little for you, okay?
Yeah. Death doesn't seem to be all that permanent here. A few days, a week. You can come back from being dead, but if you disappear, like Max, that's kind of it. If you come back, you usually don't remember any of this.
That's...not what I was saying, Maria. I wouldn't take away a part of who you were, not unless it was literally that or death and around here...
Well, anyway. When you're ready for other people to find out, you can let me know and either Kyle or I can ask Margo. She and Eliot are the only real magicians I know well enough to ask, though I guess there's Nate, too, now. But they'd know who to talk to in order to figure out if there's some way to stop the damage. I can also check in with Dr. Bashir. When I had my run-in with death, he's one of the ones who helped with the prosthetic.
That's more a statement of warning than it was reaction to anything your said. I don't want you to start talking to Doctor Who and get excited and then I have to say no.
Thanks. I really appreciate it Alex. I might ... not do anything for a little while. Just to see what happens HERE in Duplicity. But I'll let you know.

You're that half-alien. Or maybe, I guess, 1/8th alien. Or maybe 1/16th. It doesn't matter. I know.
[ A few seconds later when he realizes how that sounded... ]
Max knew something and told Guerin who told me, but we didn't know who. I'm guessing you didn't earlier?

Death. It's not the same here. You come back. ...I came back. So did Bass. Michael.
[ And there's Guerin's name, just to show how serious this is. ]

What do you mean come back?
All of you?

But if something stops the falling apart. That would be amazing.
