Long ago and far away....

Oh yeah....

[picking up the story from 13741]

Fred and Belboz were back in their old bodies - but they were in a land very very far away from where they started out.

Oh BOY, was it a land far far away! A far away land in a galaxy far far away . . . AND A LONG time . . . .ago!

"Who are you and what are you doing trespassing on my farm?! " a stern man who'd just gotten back from a discussion with a young blonde man with adventure in his heart but chaffing at being tied down even one more season on the Moisture gathering farm (or whatever).

Of course, without a universal translator (or magic spell, being that the one known as Belboz can't remember any magical spells), that comes out as gibberish to their ears.

"What?" the two heroes ask him, blinking.

That's when a wave of pain hits as the Two Girl's prophecy starts to kick in and transforms the displaced men . . . into women....causing the gruff farm owner to blink now!! The newly transformed then pass out, leaving the gruff man to (perhaps grudgingly) give some kind of aid and comfort until they recover their senses (and THEN get some answers from these tresspassers)!

But while our disoriented (and amnesiatic due to the magicks of the Transform Door, no easy ride here folks!) heroes try to make sense of where they find themselves (upon awakinging). . .

Let us instead look to elsewhere on the planet here a bit later in the day...[picking up the story from 58159]

After it is all said and done and questions are asked as to why here . . .

That question will never be totally answered to satisfaction! According to the data records of the magical teleporter this particular place is supposed to be a Terra analog.

. . .

Alas, due to a quirk of fate the part of the update at local failed to be saved when the fecal matter hit the induction blade when all those people got teleported to Terra Prime (re: 13745). The whole fracas caused some kind of malfunction and in THIS particular case some updated data got left in the bit bucket!

That is, instead of a Terra analog world Inquirer and friends land on a planet that was mirrored in a particular movie from the 1970's (Earth calander reckoning). That one movie with the opening credits stating that it occurred "a long long time ago in a galaxy far far away"!

. . . .

Yeah, you got it right: Star Wars! In this case, this is a scene right out of episode IV, A New Hope. The Champions beam in right into a particular desert valley where a small, brave droid is scooting about looking for some signs of civilization. But instead of the droid (R2-D2) getting hit by a Jawa disabling beam, it is Inquirer who gets zapped....RIGHT ....IN the . . . BACK!!

"F*CK ME!!" she screams, cursing aloud as the electricity dances all over her rigid body . . . and the Key device that allows Dr. Vincent's magic/science teleporter to retrieve them.

. . .

Not to say that it is totally destroyed, but the Key's return function has been knocked out.

Until it gets fixed (and THAT will take a lot of doing with exotic components and electronics only found in a few select places in this galaxy), the Champions' short visit here has been extended by . . .quiet a bit.

How much that means on getting involved in certain . . . geo/political matters (i.e. a certain Rebellion) remains to be seen...

1. But right now Inquirer's attention (and IRE), for her part, is more directed at the SOB who shot her in the back!!
