'What the fuck are these things...' Mike thought to himself as he made his observations of the three in front of him. It was almost as though he tapped into another part of his psyche that allowed him to make out how the runes were moving so clearly, making his heart skip a beat as he finally decided he had an idea of what the runes were doing exactly. He listened to the three of them speaking at once, almost enough to throw him off through he kept his shit together as best as possible. As soon as Olivia asked her question, one word left Mike's mouth, "Puppeteer..." The way the three were acting, spoke at the exact same time and used the exact same facial expressions... It all signaled that they were being used by a single entity, at least that's what it seemed to Mike.<br/><br/>'What are we actually doing here...?' he thought to himself, trying his best to keep the smart ass remarks to himself before potentially pissing off some alien entity. "I would hope you could answer that for us..." Mike understood he wasn't the same person, on a biological standpoint, than he was before last night. Weather it be how he felt with direct contact with the sun, or the feeling of invincibility... He forever changed himself last night and it seemed he just knew the absolute tip of the iceberg, and even that was a mystery in and of itself.<br/><br/>"It seems to me you knew we'd be unaffected by the break in time..." He tried to make sense of his thoughts, though it seemed to become more and more difficult as he tried to wrap his brain around the event at hand, "Why would you even bring us here...?" It was about that time the smart alec showed up, "Then we're back to square one... What the hell do you want with us?"<br/><br/>
