[Space exists, certainly. But it's a far cry from the rift itself. Still, the fact that she jumps first to space helps him to finally - finally - pin down which shard she's come from.

The Seventh, but recently rejoined through a very much intentional echo of that same starfall.
How and why she's only just now emerging from the Lifestream when that particular Rejoining was several years ago by the reckoning of the Source is... something he's less certain of. But he's never made any significant attempt to even see if time should happen to pass while immersed in Lifestream. (It could, also, be an artifact of time passing differently between the shards. But either way it's not something he needs to know immediately, and so he tucks the thought away for later.)
He also figures that it's probably best to not mention that he knows at least some of the players behind that all-consuming desire for more. If not the details. He had rather been busy masterminding the creation of an entire empire, after all.]
You would think they'd have learned. Or cared to have looked.
[Not that he's surprised they hadn't. Greed is one of the easier emotions to work with, and from what little she's offered it sounds like there'd been no shortage of that to work with.]
Oh, believe me, I wouldn't want to either. [Though his reaction would likely have been more... dramatic, had he been in a similar position.] Still, they aren't here. You are.
[Be it for good or ill, she's left labs, goons, and scientists behind. Along with everything else she might have known besides, but there's not much Emet can do about that.]
