So, hey...

[Hey, Keelial. Remember him? He looks a lot more tired than before, his hair is ruffled and his shirt looks partly undone. It looks like he's sat in the College.]

Anyone noticed the pattern on the Turtle's shell? It's... pulsing. It started like... three? Four days ago? The time between the pulses is getting shorter.

I'm not sure what this means, but... hey. It sounds important, right? I've done some math and, well... I think... [Yawn.] ...I think the pulses are gonna stop in a week or so. If the period between them keeps getting shorter.

Assuming that's what this is.

That's the plan. At least, if I can find a way home without shattering the universe into pieces. Had enough of that.

[lasergrenades]

[Pepper looks a little startled.]

...That does not seem like it would be good. Is that why you need to get home, to keep that from happening?

[consultingbishop]

Nah, home's more or less fixed in terms of dimensional problems.

[It's just temporal fascism he's worried about now.]

But me being inserted into other worlds tends to go... badly.

[lasergrenades]

Enough Foreigners have ended up here that you're probably not going to break anything just by being here, if that's what you're worried about.

[Probably.]

So... this kind of thing has happened to you before?

[consultingbishop]

Yeah, and in my experience, the barrier between dimensions is a lot more fragile than people realise.

[lasergrenades]

Oh, I'd believe it. [She's seen it, even.] We're probably pretty capable of affecting the Dreaming, at least. But after all the crazy things that have happened here, I'm gonna go ahead and keep hoping you're not the thing that makes it all come tumbling down.

[consultingbishop]

Yeah. Me, too.

[He doesn't need the destruction of another universe on his conscience.]
