[Without warning, a transmission appears on the imPort network. It has no ID or other identifier.]

—nyone there? Can anyone hear this? Shouldn't be here have to try but I'm dead if they find out, I'm dead anyway because it's all gone wrong—

[Several panicked breaths, and then several longer ones, forced.]

She's coming. The organization wanted power because why should you all be the only ones who have it, we wanted to break through to other worlds and this was they way—if Atropos was summoned here, she'd shatter the barriers, walls would become doors, but that's not happening, everything's just falling apart.

I've tried to call it off, this experiment's a failure, we'll do something else but the others won't listen. They've glimpsed something beyond and it did things to them...or maybe they're just that committed. Maybe I'm the weak one. I don't know.

Listen. LISTEN. She's going to come, the process has already begun. Can't be stopped. Calculations say she'll arrive on the full moon and if she's alone, god help us all. But if you can summon her sisters, they'll bring her here with them, and there'll be balance. Vulnerability. No guarantee.

Don't know how. Don't know if it's possible. But you're heroes right? Do something. PLE—

[ He flashes her a smile. ]

I understand. And yeah, it does help one avoid mistakes, or at least the same mistakes.

[ He hmmms, then nods. ]

That's probably it. I work in Heropa a lot.

[Oh good. She's glad he does.]

Was it something else? A few other people have mentioned me being familiar too, even though we are from different worlds.

[ He considers her, then nods, slowly. ]

My world is a crossroads, a world where reality is a little thin. There is an area called the Nevernever, where some of the strongest fae see and hear and dream of other worlds, and then write those stories down, or pass them on in a song, or a tale.

One such tale tells of a woman named Jane, a heroic scientist, who, through compassion, curiosity, and brilliance, helped save the world more than once against gods and aliens both.

They made comics and even movies about you, doc. You and your friends.

[Jane's face turns red as she gapes.]

Really? They did? And the Avengers and Thor too, I imagine?

[There's a world where she's fictional and helps save the world?? Sure, she did that in her actual world, but ... It's kind of like getting a cameo in a favorite book, but she's a main character instead.]

[iminthebook]

Yep. All of the above. [ He chuckles. ]

Asgard, The battle of New York, and all the rest.

[bifroster]

[Okay, give her a second.]

Wow.

I mean.

[/rebooting jane.exe]

Really? All of it? Is there a happy ending, or would that be a spoiler?

[iminthebook]

I don't know. I have only seen some of your stories. My life was pretty busy back home.

[ He offers her a smile. ]

Sorry.

[bifroster]

That's alright. There isn't much time to read a comic book when you're dealing with ...

[She waves her hand around, to indicate "all of this disaster mess".]

[iminthebook]

[ Harry laughs and nods. ]

Exactly. Just a little chaos on the way. Nothing big.

[bifroster]

What do you think about this? Do we have anything besides the obvious?

[The full moon is only two weeks away.]

[iminthebook]

Full moon, twins or time twins, spider-mistress's temple, and lots of imports need to be there for the ceremony, using their power and calling the ladies' names... and beyond that?

It will likely be messy, some people will likely get hurt, and there may be a little death involved.

But... we can do this.

[ He says, with confidence he is not sure he has. ]

[bifroster]

There's always a little death involved in these things.

But you're right. We can figure this out and more importantly, stop it.

[She thinks.]

Maybe 'twins' is a loose translation. What if two different people were born on the same day? Or it's two copies of an item?

[iminthebook]

True, that, historically.

I don't know. A lot of us are pouring over this. I am hoping we can answer that before it's too late.

[bifroster]

I hope so too.

If anything, we can probably keep an ear out for anything and sabotage the ritual.

[iminthebook]

I think that is wise.

Hopefully, we can figure it out before too late.

[bifroster]

At least we will have options there.

Will you be there, when it happens?

[iminthebook]

Always.

Its where I belong.

[bifroster]

In the thick of things. Sounds like the kind of person we'd be lucky to have on our side.

[iminthebook]

I have a feeling we'll need everyone by the time this is done.

good to fade?

[bifroster]

Yeah, probably. Call me if you're able to, okay? I plan to be there.

This works!

[iminthebook]

Of course. See you then!
