"Yes," Dead Vincent nods his vaporous head. "I agree, especially as I hope to have a long future life in whichever of these bodies I select to take as my own." Living Dr. Vincent's eyes bug out at the last part of the statement. A detached part of himself was happy that the ghost had finally started to sound halfway sane by agreeing to neutralize the danger posed by the slipgates, but the rest of him was shocked and sickened that even a mirror image could be so......cruel and cold as to even THINK about taking the body of another. Especially when some of those bodies belonged to those that he, the living Dr. Vincent, was fond of! The living Dr. Vincent, in the process of dredging up the exorcism spell he had learned from a wondering priest/magi decades ago.....pauses when his eyes fall upon Inquirer's gem. In a flash, the eccentric magi recognizes the significance of the runes on the mechanical construct's forehead as random facts from different people nit and connect to form a plan to the old mage. Dead Vincent, having tensed at the look he'd seen in his living counterpart's eyes, pauses in his silent incantation to lightning bolt his brother.....and stares in utter confusion as his brother laughs scornfully. "PIKER!" Living Vincent shouts, laughing at the ghost. "I guess you aren't like me after all! You truly are only playing at being a man bent on combining science and magic into a truly blessed synergy!" The living Vincent plows on before his undead counterpart can grow angry. "If you were anything like me," the old magi chuckles. "Then you'd have noticed the true nature of the.....female Golem." "I was more interested in the five Crystallics that the dragons and the other magic users somehow had," murmurs the ghost in an annoyed voice. He then slaps himself and laughs a mad....delighted laugh as the image of the gem in Inquirer's forehead causes the scattershot memories garnered from Sigin Vulpine and Alicia 2 to congeal, revealing at what the living Dr. Vincent was saying.
