Time is of the Essence

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 15633

Dr Vincent answers the knock on his door to find Jarlath, Joan, Annafrid, Andrea and Astra 9 on his doorstep. "Ah, you're back," he says. "Did you have an interesting time?" "You could say that, yes," Jarlath replies. "We'll tell you the whole story later, but we have some urgent business that we hope you can help us with. Can you translate these Atlantian co-ordinates for us, please?" He hands over a sheet of paper onto which the co-ordinates for all the missing non-Champions have been copied from the books in the Pyramid.

Dr Vincent peers at it. "Yes, I can translate them, but it will take a little time." "Time is what we are short of." "Well, I'll be as quick as I can. Would you care to come in and have some refreshments while you wait?"


The dark coarse skin now covers both of Belinda's hands and has spread up her arms almost to her shoulders. There are also patches of it on her thighs. It itches so abominably that she has stripped down to her underwear the better to scratch at it, and also because the steamy jungle heat means that that the less she wears the more comfortable she will be.


The Fred who had been in a valley has followed a small stream which has led him into another, larger valley. The way the red skin seems to be spreading over his body concerns him less than the way his clothes now seem much too large for him. He estimates he has lost a foot in height.


The Astra who had found herself between fields of corn has headed away from the cultivated area, for she feels that she does not want to encounter anyone like this. She only has a few tufts of red hair left on her head now, but ironically much of the rest of her body is now covered by a fine fur which is continuing to grow.


The Fred on the bleak hillside has had to discard his boots, and fears he may soon have to discard the rest of his clothing, as he is definitely getting bigger. Horns are beginning to grow from his head.


Thessamar ix'latl is following the river downstream. Most of her body is now covered by the short coarse hairs. As a redhead, her complexion has always tended to be pale, but her skin seems to have acquired an unhealthy greyish tinge. Her arms have grown noticeably longer, and she is starting to lean forward as she walks. She fears that she may be turning into a goblin.
