Sue is not going to do this; he has his own solution. The point is to fork a double who isn't up to date on his life in full depth, after all. But arbitrary amounts of linked rapid summarizing have yet to turn Sue into Aianon or Ghosty or Brilliance or Corona.
He thinks.
He decides to pull his copy from the exact moment that would make him the same age relative to Aegis that he was when Jane went down - the moment of discontinuity, plus the amount of subjective time Aegis spent out of the world, plus the amount of time it has been since she got back. He doesn't have an exact count of how long that is, but there is no time in that ballpark he could pull from that won't be a busy moment. So he leaves Ivy floating in space as an anchor - can't be too careful - and freecasts to the Gentle Cave in case Past Sue is startled.
'Sue' and 'Past Sue' is going to get confusing fast. The past version can keep 'Sue'; the older one decides he will be Admiral War.
He spends an evil.
It's not clear who links who first, and for a few seconds thoughts are roaring back and forth, but Sue stabilizes fast. He hugs War hard; his Ivy instantiates to join the cuddle. It's like she's wrapping her coils around two of Sue, appropriately enough.
Still linked, Sue does a brief freecasted tour of all known worlds just to make sure his skills there are as up-to-date as War's.
He ends this tour standing in front of Aegis with Ivy perched on his shoulder as a candleflame bird.
