Longtail blinked several times to make sure he wasn't having another sleep story and then he answered "Yes...yes it is." to Bai'ka question. He then walked forward until he was right behind himself, and finally decided the best way to get his own attention was to bite his tail, but as he went to do so, his other self said "I know that's you behind me."
The only difference in his other self however and the way to tell the two apart was a scar that ran down the right side of his face. 'I wonder how I got that scar?' asked Longtail to himself. Longtail turned around and said "Now you are wondering how we...I mean I got this scar on my face right?" Longtail nodded his head in reply. "Well that's a story for your friends to hear as well when we are done talking."
Longtail looked a little stunned and his other self said "Still trying to get used to the fact that you are talking to yourself right?" again Longtail just nodded his head and said "You rescued the stone...thank you."
His other self then noticed something "It's glowing...what did you do?" Longtail then spoke up to himself by saying "I didn't do anything, when Andrew gave it to me it just started glowing...I was hoping maybe you'd know why." Longtail then got an idea as he looked up to the chief of engineering and said "This stone is supposed do something when the time is right, but I..." he then looked at his other self and said "We don't know what that something is and when one of us holds this rock it glows, so what does it mean?"
