"Ten twenty five," Jade murmured absently. The digital clock had been stuck on that time for who knows how long. It was the only one on the entire Prospitian battleship, and its harsh green numbers continued to shine.

She recalled how Rose had reported John's countdown clock, and hers and Dave's, had all read "4:13", and she remembered how hers had been different.

"10:25", it had read.

Jade vaguely remembered somebody mentioning Karkat's birthday being the equivalent of June twelfth, or 6-12. She wondered if maybe 612 had had some significance in the troll's session, as 413 seemed to have had in hers.

It then occured to Jade that 413 + 612 was 1,025, and that the trolls had not been so talkative when John, Rose, and Dave had entered the game, as they had been when she entered.

"Union?" Jade wondered aloud. "The union between two sessions?"

She smiled to herself. "How interesting."

Jade could not have known that on the meteor, a ridiculously drunk Rose kissed Kanaya.
