Chapter Six<br />
The Negative Presence<br />
Solo, studying the Stellar Monitor, looks up at Duo and<br />
says, "Something is happening on Planet Theia." Solo readies<br />
the position of our Starcruiser to depart our synchronistic<br />
environment for a new voyage experience.<br />
One of the Interlopers looks over Solo's shoulder and<br />
asks, "Where are we going now?"<br />
Solo gets up from the pilot's seat and leads us away<br />
from the command center, "Sit in your assigned seats."<br />
Solo instructs, "Secure passengers." Duo responds with a<br />
touch to the keypad and XR engages. Our replicated forms<br />
and the duplicate of our spacecraft, Etoftot, are sitting in<br />
readiness. "We will depart for an extraordinary trip to Theia."<br />
Solo looks at Duo and utters a quiet command, "Transfer<br />
into RSR mode."<br />
Duo commands with authority, “Data 84342,” and his<br />
Universal Portal Prompter materializes. His fingers fly<br />
across the futuristic keypad and he sounds out, "Data<br />
RSR777," as Totfote and its passengers slowly dematerialize.<br />
Duo strikes the remaining icon on the Prompter. "Fold<br />
synchronistic trans-conversion."<br />
We find ourselves, aboard our duplicate Starcruiser<br />
Etoftot instantly materializing on Planet Theia. XR disengages;<br />
we instinctively stand up as our synchronistic<br />
Starcruiser evaporates leaving us in this extraordinary situation<br />
as a reverse duplicate of ourselves.
