Xaviers!

"Huh..." he pondered aloud as he studied the pile of extras, "Too many pieces for one puzzle or too many memories for one Will?"

"Hey Will, how often have you had multiple yous around?"

With no Will with ears in sight, Tosh might not be prepared for where the answer came from -- which was more or less all around him.

Creepy.

"You're doing it right now, and I've seen you do it twice before. I helped smush you back together one of those times. Hell, in your mindscape I divided, so the extra memory phenomenon isn't entirely foreign to me."

"Perhaps all those experiences taught your body how, though that doesn't really explain all these extra puzzle pieces."

"Or perhaps your billion year nap wasn't as uneventful as you think..." he said, trailing off.

"Remember that chunk of you that Panopticon was using as an energy source? Do you think it's possible you're somehow connected to other stray bits?"

"Well, I would, but unless those bits are in this universe I don't know if I even can."

"Within the realm of the achievable, I could..." he began before drawing a blank, "Check your brainwaves or something, but you're so anomalous by nature that I'm not sure the results would mean anything. Worth a try though if you're up for some tests. But I imagine you feel prodded enough."

"If you have somethingin mindplannedusefulpleasurableeducationalscientific, then we trustenabledesirebegdepend on you.

Will's statement of trust took away some of the guilt Tosh felt over how he handled the MGH situation. It by no means wiped the slate clean, but it helped a great deal.

"I want to help if I can. Once I establish more of a baseline with a few basic tests, I can start looking for anything causing an instability."

"Sound like a planfuna disaster waiting to happen.

If you need help, do not hesitate to ask."

"I'll get back to you once I figure out what tests I'll need to do."
