Electronic schemata flashed through the mind of Forge as he slowly circled The Device. He ran his hand along it's surface, spreading his senses along every inch of it's structure. Again and again he studied every inch of it. It was the thousandth, thousandth time since Rayen's accident, and here he was again, at the core.
The mistake wasn't in The Device. It was in his original logic. At first he thought he could seperate Lorna's signature from Rayen's. In truth, what he was watching was a variant on his sister's power. Her electronic signature is quite unique, and it wasn't hard for him to mistake parts of it for Lorna's signature.
If he couldn't distinguish Lorna's signature, then how could they separate them? It was as if Lorna and Rayen had blended electromagnetic patterns completely. This problem was edging out of science, and into the supernatural. It was heading to that part of existence that wasn't currently explained by modern science. What is a soul? How do mutant powers work?
Then again... maybe he wasn't thinking laterally enough.
With a heavy hearted sigh, he shut the lights off in the lab and left, heading for the comfort of his bed. He could feel the clock ticking in the back of his mind. How long would both Lorna and Rayen last in this state? How long did he have left?
