People we have emotional attachments to. ( Whether positive or negative, that really seems to be what it boils down to. It's got to be helpful to the gods to have the people who make each of them most emotional turning up.
It's interesting, really. As a tool to get home, sure, but even beyond that. It's a completely alien being of power, something that her home world could never even conceive. She wonders what Dagny would make of it, with all her dedication to non-human biology and everything she taught Kate about their kind's abilities, their construction. She wonders even more what Marc would do if he saw it—
Well, no. It's not really wondering. She knows Marc would want to take it apart and discover how it works even more than she does. )
Do we all have emotional signatures to you?
( Why wouldn't that be possible? It certainly is with people's powers. )
Yes. All individuals are unique, and the power that they generate with their emotion is unique as well. Your mind is like your fingerprint- there is something unconditionally you about it.
( And, in that moment, Kate gets the urge to ask something which she's heard in so many variations over the years — asked by everyone from friends to patients:
So, what does mine look like?
... So, that's what it feels like. That invasive, sharp curiosity pricking at the back of her mind, something about oneself which is hidden from them. It's a thoroughly foreign sensation, one that has to be shrugged off before she can reply. )

Makes sense. Thanks.
