CHAPTER THREE The message from Herbert made Aber determined to follow through on our plans to go through The Rip today. We check all the equipment and load it onto the truck. I have been preparing for this moment, but the adrenaline is more than I expected. I am about to step into another universe, or dimension, or reality. My mind is spinning with anticipation. But there is one question I have been dying to ask Aber.

"Wow!" That's the reaction Chloe got from the five princes the moment she got out of one of the guest's chambers. She knows that she looks pretty with the authentic hanbok that she's wearing now. Chloe realizes that the ones from the hanbok shop were fake. She looks like a queen with a red hanbok since that's what the royalties are wearing around here.

When the lights come out again, Chloe realizes that it's not the blackout that caused it. She can see that it's still daytime. But then realized that she was still holding James' hand tightly. She immediately let go of him and pretended that nothing happened.

CHAPTER TWO We pull the truck into a maintenance shed. And I start to grab some equipment, but Aber stands and look toward the storm. I suggest that it might turn away from the station. It didn't seem to be moving directly at us. He says we need to check the schedule for the next transport out and walks into the station. As I follow, we hear the station speakers blast a notification.

CHAPTER TWO Today we chose 323 degrees for our trek. My WristWear has a compass showing the cardinal directions and 360 degree graduations. As long as the communication satellites are working around any planet, it is extremely accurate. Herbert has an old physical nautical compass given to him by his grandfather, whose grandfather gave to him, and so forth. It shows magnetic north. It also has an inner circle with the 32-point compass rose corresponding to the 0 to 360 degree graduations. It's a pretty cool antique. We occasional compare the readings along our walks. They are always the same.

CHAPTER ONE “The instruments are going crazy!” I watched as Aber rushed from one device to another. I told him to stay calm. We could figure this out. He froze. Then collecting all his strengths, calmly but with decided confidence and extreme urgency, he looked me in the eye and said we had to run. Something was about to come through The Rip. Something big. He didn't know what it was, but he didn't think we should be standing in it's path.

CHAPTER SEVEN I have made a file about the people Webby marks. It contains more info that I should ethically have collected, but I justify it to myself by saying it is for science. It has to be done to understand The Rip, a never before seen cosmic anomaly. That's what I tell myself as I prepare to send it to Aber before I leave for Marvin's planet tomorrow. I am asking him to see what he can find out about them on that side. My suspicion is that they all no longer exist there. I also suspect that he and I no longer exist here on this side. But for some reason I am having trouble getting up the nerve to ask Pretentious for our histories.
