**Lolita backed away from My slowly**

I am... apparently.

**Lo' blushed more**

Sorry Brit, I'm a little disoriented. You know how it is coming from GenCar to Alt.

Wow. I've never been part of a team before, I've only ever worked for Cobalt Kid. How am I doing so far?

You're doing fantastic, for an older girl.

This is so wild... I just got upgraded a few days ago, and now you've joined me and Brit!

How did you get Cobie to do it?

Wait. You think Cobalt did this? No, he's not the one responsible. I'd know if it was him.

This is definitely someone else.

**Lolita frowed slightly**

Hey, who you calling "Granny" and "older"? The name's Jailbait Lass for a reason.

Ohmygod, now you're beginning to sound like the old biddy we know and love...

You're the Granny 'cuz you're older than us. We're both seventeen and you're like a hundred and three or some junk like that... <Ducks>

So if it wasn't Cobie, who was it? Abin?

**Lolita blew a raspberry**

Well, at least I don't look it.

Abin? No, I don't think it was him either. I think he already used up all his alts.

Ohmygod!

We'll like have to figure it out later... Miss Caliente wants us to go find Mr. Hrun, Mr, Rockyhopper and Mr Inquisitor and see whats happened to them on that weird path.

And the boys have discovered that somebody set a trap for them along that path, a trap that includes Zombie Squirrels.

So we're gonna get to the other side of that trap and spring it early...

Okay, I'm sending out a message to Cobalt Kid now to inform him of our progress.

And to warn him against the danger of the Zombie Squirrels, Lolita silently added.

<A portal opens in the side wall of a tesseract. Into that tunnel step Abin Quank, Faraway Lad, and Gary Concord the Ultra Man.>

Okay if I understand Brit's notes, this device will allow us to create a portal back to Legion World where ever we decide to place it.

And using the viewing windows <A section of wall slides back at Abin's command> we should be able to find the Faces and get the drop on them.

There's something wrong in here Quank.

The Magnetic Fields don't align properly...

Everything is 90 degrees out of phase...

It's almost like we're on a different planet.

Yeah, Cobie said he felt that too and he's spent a lot of time with Stoopid Cat trying to understand where the tesseracts actually exist.

I think they decided that we're in between dimensions when we're inside the tesseracts.

Thats why I can do things like this...

<A Viewing Window opens, showing a fairy tale city made of ice.>

<suddenly, the tesseract system fills with thousands of mechanopods, insect-like non-metallic robots with laser vision and razor-sharp teeth>

<the mechanopods surround Abin, Gary and Faraway>

That should distrct them for a while! Meanwhile, in a matter of minutes, I will collapse the tesseract system, crushing them all in the process! And Quank's lantern power and Concord's magnetism will prove useless, as will Faraway Lad's power, as it is negated here between dimensions!

Oh-Ho, Somebody's Megalomaniac Training is kicking in...

<Touches a control and a side portal opens...>

Quick, in here you two...

<The three step into the side passage. and a second portal opens. The mechanopods are shoved into the second portal by a sudden constricting of the first tunnel.>

That portal leads to the loading rack for Mearl Dox's Sun Cannon. It's still set on automatic fire and while those mechanopods don't look much like care bears... *Shrugs* ...They'll be shot into the sun, anyway.

“Damn it I hate those things” say Far as he crushes a lone surviving mechanopods under his boot, “they remind me to much of those Luna Ticks that infested the system a while back.”

Looking around Far says “Hey Abin where are we I don’t think I have ever seen this part of the system before, it looks different”

Indeed this part of the tesseract system was markedly different to the normal brightly lit clean neat corridors in normal use.

These corridors were decorated with rich furs and hangings, Candles lit the walls and the floor was cover in rushes.

These Tesseracts were discovered by Stoopid Cat but he didn't build them.

He and Hrun spent a lot of time in here... Look There...

<In an alcove off the main corridor is a large cat box, richly decorated.>

He told me once that he would sometimes meet himself coming back from wherever he was going because, in here, time is variable.

Does that mean you can use these tesseracts to travel through time?

Yes, but it's dangerous and uncertain. Place to place is easy... just choose the location through the viewing windows.

Forwards or backwards in time? Now you have to move up or down through the various levels and if you pick the wrong stairwell... Bad Things, Concord, Bad Things!

Yes I'm positive that you would classify the possibilities that this place embodies as "Bad Things."

This is incredible... The possibilities...

"Never mind all that you two, we have a job to do remember.

Now I suppose all i need to do is open this door and......"


"No Faraway" shouts Abin "dont do that or......"

but its too late Faraway has opened a portal and a howling gale rushes through, dragging all three off their feet and sucking them through the portal they fall through space and land with a squelch in…..

A field littered with dead zombies...

here...

<Concord sits in a small alcove off of one of the main tesseract branches. One wall is covered with viewing windows, scenes from the Security Office, Lardy's Lair, Rockhopper's Rookery, Shakes, Cafe Cramer, and anywhere else on LW that interest him can be called up with the merest whim.>

That fool Quank, and the insufferable Faraway Lad, will regret the day they introduced me to these tesseracts. Those idiots left these to the whims of their cat!

<Numbnuts appears within the tesseracts in a different passage far from Gary Concord...>

Now this is something I can wrap my head around. I worked with Stoopid Cat at length protecting Legion World with the Tesseracts. He even helped me install several that led from my office to...some more lurid, yet enjoyable, parts of town.

The others will be joining shortly. Numbnuts, lead on! I think I'm even starting to understand you.

(Heh, once you get his lingo its not too bad. Probably I won't be able to understand anyone else now though :rolleyes: )
