In the normal dimension, Horatio was talking to his younger self in his house. Everyone had already told the story of what is going on and why they needed them to reconnect.

Young Horatio: So you are telling me I... we get to Captain a real Indominous with a fleet, have a wife and kid...

Horatio: Daughter.

Young Horatio: Have water and ice powers and be able to transform into a dragon?

Horatio: And be able to rock this uniform and six swords.

Young Horatio: And that assault rifle?

Horatio: Yup.

Young Horatio: Can I see?

Horatio brought out his assault rifle, he ejected the Meg, released the bullet and the grenade from the chambers. Horatio handed it to his younger self and he was looking at it.

Young Horatio: Shot count, Grenade launcher, suppressor, how can you have grip on this with the grenade launcher?

Horatio: Had enough for the extra attachment.

Young Horatio: Select fire and Target finder scope?

Horatio: Nope, that scope does all ranges, all sights and a target painter for an artillery strike.

Young Horatio: And you built this?

Horatio: No, Pure did.

Young Horatio: Pure, are you serious?

Horatio handed him the bullet he ejected from the gun.

Young Horatio: Hollow point poison rounds, only one person knows the custom bullet I like.

Horatio: Yeah, we get along well after what happened.

Young Horatio sees the dragon scales on Horatio.

Young Horatio: What did we had to go through to get this far?

Horatio: Military training, making sure the call I made was right, caring for my ship, fighting in a war, a lot of things.

Young Horatio handed the gun and bullet back to Horatio, Young Horatio was thinking about everything.

Horatio: I know it's a lot to take in.

Horatio reloads the assault rifle and the grenade launcher. He puts the gun on his back and continues talking.

Horatio: But it was all worth it in the end.

Horatio goes into his coat and pulls out a picture; he gives it to young Horatio. It was Lucinda and Horatio and he was his daughter Athena, Athena had on Lucinda's Captain's hat.

Young Horatio: This is them?

Horatio: Yeah?

Young: Why are they blue?

Horatio: They are Scylla.

Young Horatio: What?

Horatio: My wife, Lucinda is a Scylla and our daughter Athena is a hybrid of human, Scylla and Dragon, her laugh always brings a smile to our day, even the worst ones and she laughs a lot.

Young Horatio: Do we play with her?

Horatio: Every chance we get.

Young Horatio just sat there looking at it, thinking out the good and the bad. Back in reality and at the fort, everyone was on standby to move out with their weapons and Exo-suit to go, they still had the option to train and some of them still stuck to training while they waited. Miku was talking to Gear on his chest while he was sitting down.
