"I haven't been there."
"I just read your mind."
The clone heard the chaotic information his original had directly stuffed into his brain, then organized it into coherent language as best he could and understood what his original meant.
His original truly had not been there, because the Golden Expedition Fleet possessed Blackstone warships. They would forcibly materialize the region occupied by the fleet, make time flow normally, and suppress Warp energy.
