| "It wasn't easy," Dr Vincent says. "But eventually I managed it. The
co- ordinates refer to five different analogue worlds of Terra Prime, and
the locations within those worlds are also very different. You see..."
But at that point Astra 9, knowing that time is ticking away, cuts off
Dr Vincent as gently as she can. "We'd love to hear all about it later
on," she says, "but we really must be on our way."
Soon the group, plus Dragon Synizn, are using Dr Vincent's teleportation
device to take them to the location corresponding to - they hope - the
first set of co-ordinates.
The Astra who is on Rifts Earth looks at the elves who surround her.
"Who are you?" she asks. She notes that her voice has changed; it sounds
harsher and at the same time higher-pitched than it should. "Perhaps you
will tell us who you are first?" the previously hooded elven woman
says. "There is a stench of dead things about you." Astra is both surprised
and annoyed by this rather frank remark. "Well, there's a sort of pretty-pretty
scent about you and your group that I can't say I much care for," she replies,
showing less self-restraint than she normally would in such an obviously
dangerous situation.

 "I asked
you a question," the elven woman reminds her.
