In response to what Astra had typed in, the walls of the office appeared to become transparent. They now seemed to be located within a dimly-lit cave. Through the cave walked a man wearing chain mail, a sword in his hand as if he expected to encounter danger at any moment. As indeed he did. A hideous ogre about eight feet tall suddenly entered the cave. However the armoured man removed its head with one lightning stroke from his sword.
"That's some mighty impressive projection equipment that you have here," Stacy said. "Though there doesn't appear to be any sound. What's the name of the movie?" Astra smiled. "This is no movie. We are looking into an alternative reality. Its technology is much more primitive than this world's. Hence the knight has a sword rather than a gun. Another important difference is that magic works there. And creatures that would be considered mythical here, like that ogre, actually exist. As you might have guessed from the way I'm dressed, I am originally from there myself. I come from a country called Aqualaria, where I'm a princess. Another major country is called Allaria. As you might imagine, when I first came to this reality, it was a bit of a shock." Stacy wasn't sure whether she believed all this or not. "So ought I to call you 'Your Royal Highness'?" she asked, to give herself more time to consider things. Astra laughed. "Certainly not! Though if we should ever find ourselves at the Aqualarian court, the courtiers would consider it polite."
