=== What is with the age differences? [[Cristina Thompson]] is in her early thirties, so if she has an adult daughter she must have met [[Conn Thompson]] as a child. Why do the ages of various versions of [[Laura Thompson]] seem to jump around?===
* Hey, anything is possible here. Cristina may look early thirties, but with the advanced medical discoveries from the destruction of the [[Regeneration Core]] on [[The First World]], she may actually be somewhat older. Her personality indicates a mental age more typical of an older adult, with greater cynicism borne from experience. As for why different versions of Laura seem to vary in age anywhere from being a child to a young adult, this could be explained by differences between realities. As shown by the [[Temporal Bacteria]], temporal displacement can happen in one reality entirely independently of the other realities around it. As a result, anything from taking a different quantum decision branch to gravitational distortions since the birth of each universe may slightly alter the passage of time, leading to displacements in their respective time-lines of years, or even millennia.
=== How did Heath end up the way he is? Where is he, and more importantly, what is he?===
* Heath apparently volunteered for the procedure that turned him into the ultimate network node within the networks of [[The First World]]. It wouldn't be too surprising if he was part of the infrastructure supporting [[Command]], as well as [[The First World]] shields, given his ability to readily connect with the systems. He is located in a reality somewhere near the [[Inner Shield]], possibly on a [[Branch World]]. His reality was visited by the children lead by [[Danny]], indicating it isn't one of the shielded (read-only) worlds previously discovered. One theory currently standing regarding Heath is that he may be related to the creation of the [[Inner Shield]] and [[Outer Shield]], which was built with the help of the [[Brownshirt]]s. He may even be a descended form of [[Brownshirt]] himself, which would explain why the [[Cordyceps Fungus]] infected [[Brownshirt]]s reacted as he adjusted the camera [[Cristina Thompson]] was using. Another possibility is that there may also be other 'Heath' level system administrators out there, performing similar functions.
* This has also been answered in 'Our Final Acts (Part 3)'. [[Heath]] is the last of eighteen human volunteers, who along with eighteen [[Brownshirt]] volunteers became the underlying infrastructure that creates and maintains the shields protecting human space in the multiverse.
