[ Jesse let's her theorize for a moment. She can remember something about the case documents now that she thinks about it, but, how accurate her memory is of reading something four years ago is definitely up for debate. Especially after all the loops. She stands up straight and then glances to the side.
« This is Saga's mind. Can we do that? It wouldnt be invasive, right? It's from MY mind. My mental projection. Should we try it? »
Jesse holds her hand up. A surge of power can be felt in the room, but it's a gentle pulsing. A resonance. After a moment a vanilla folder appears with the FBC logo on the front. She opens it and takes a look over some of the documents, noting how she's already misremebered some details.
Sorry. If I got details wrong. It's been four years since I read these. [ « I'm not trying to hide things or important details. » ] I found these after I became Director. It happened well before my time. So, what I know comes from these, a few other documents about altered items, and from Wake. Which isn't as much as you'd think.
[ Her hands come to rest on the table as she leans against it. ]
I'm guessing the light switch mentioned in one is our Clicker.
One of them mentions Tor and Odin Anderson. From the Old God's of Asgard.... any relationship? [ There is an edge of excitement in her voice. She's always loved their music. Then, she realized how much their music seems to intertwine with everything. Bright Falls. Polaris. Who knows what else. It's the same excitement now that was there when she first met Alan. Other paranaturalarians. Potentially. ] The FBC decided not to monitor them due to age. So, if you do have a relation, I can promise they didn't bug the retirement home they live in. At least... I didn't see anything that would say they did.
[ She huffs a laugh. « I'd say you and the Hotline are pretty secure. When another parautalitarian isn't barging her way in. » ] Only certain... frequencies can tap into that line of communication. Wake managed to find the right one and send me the messages.
[ Jesse feels a spike go up her spine at the piercing gaze. Not intimidating, but, the kind that's trying to go right through her. See what they want to see. It makes her defensive walls want to climb up. She hates being around profiles, but, Saga is at the center of this too. Jesse can't afford the liability of her own emotions getting in the way more than they already have with Alan.
She sighs. How can she explain this? ]
This is the first time we've talked. But, it's not the first time you've done the investigation. Visiting Cauldron Lake. Found Wake. We're in a loop. Going around and around until we get the pieces right and solve the AWE. Stop reality from changing.
And you know it. [ Jesse stands up once again and half turns to show off the case wall behind her. A hand lifts to all the orderly string and clues that Saga has pinned up. ] You just haven't wanted to see it. Probably because you think it's too impossible after everything else you've seen. But, is it really?
[ « And... there goes the poster. Is she going to run away and screaming? Deny it? I hope not. We need her to help fix this. »
Jesse has no idea what Saga will see--if anything. But, she has the feeling that if Saga left any notes to herself about deja vu or the feeling of doing the same thing? It would be there. Polaris confirms the idea. ]
I'll share whatever information on the Clicker I get. I don't see why keeping details like that from you would be helpful to either of us. Agencies aside. This is sort of bigger than whatever issue the FBI and the FBC have with one another.
[ She steps aside so Saga can move as she needs. A silence falls as she waits for Saga's reaction to all of it--how reality really is. Jesse shifts side to side, rolling each shoulder out of her natural motions. There's no point in rushing the FBI agent through it all. That'll only make it worse.
Once she can tell Saga is ready to talk again? Jesse lets out another shift of resonance. This time just around her. Once Saga turns back around, she'll find Jesse is dressed differently. There's also another change.
Blood, and a decent amount of it.
She's sure Saga is going to pick up on the injuries right away. Multiple head wounds, all from blunt force. Broken parts of thr skull because of it. Lacerations on the cheek from glass. And, a similar cut in her chest where her heart would be. ]
As for your question about Wake's doppleganger? Yeah. There's definite proof of it.

Shit.
