[Charles is sitting in one of Tranquilities mess halls, slowly stirring a mug of tea and staring down at a chess board. His face is pale, expression set in a resigned sort of calm.]
It is with great regret that I must announce that Erik Lehnsherr is no longer on the Tranquility. It would appear that he went among the missing sometime around the last jump.
[His voice is level as he relays these facts. He had hoped that Erik might have surfaced from the jump beds and gone about some project or another but as time had passed, Charles had looked more closely into the matter and found that his hope was for naught.]
I hope this means he is free of all of this and has returned to our world to continue along his path there.
[Even if that path was one that could potentially lead to war, it was better than the other possibility niggling at Charles’ mind; a possibility Charles did not want to consider too closely.
Setting aside the spoon in the mug, Charles reached up and brushed his fingers through his hair, then reached to move a pawn, pausing and then spinning the board around so he could play the other side.]

Were you a friend of Erik's?
video;
Mhm, I was a friend of his. One of the few people I've actually befriended on board.
video;
I'm Charles by the way Charles Xaiver. I do not know if you met a previous incarnation of me but I do not believe I have had the honor.
video;
I did meet another you in the outpost but nevertheless, it is a pleasure to meet you, Mr Xavier. My name is Bela. Bela Talbot.
video;
Well, still this allows me to make my proper hellos. It is a pleasure to meet you, Ms Talbot or may I call you Bela?
video;
The pleasure is mine and feel free to call me Bela. I don't mind at all.

[He smiled at her comment about his other self and nodded.]
Yes, he and I share a similar history up to a point, then we diverge quite radically I am afraid. This ship is not the first time I have been taken, by forces, from my point of origin.
It gives us some subtle differences and it is my understanding that we are not the only pair to have experienced such.

[She gave him a polite smile in return.]
I still find it interesting though, don't get me wrong. To have two of the same person on board with varied history and slight differences is fascinating. I haven't spoken to many others who are in similar circumstances.
As for myself, I've been mistaken for two different women whilst I have been on board. Apparently, I look exactly like them, save for a few differences like hairstyle and dress-sense.
