“Corporal.”

Caryl looked up from the steaming tub of soldiers’ underwear she was stirring from as far away as she could manage. “Commander?”

“We are moving out in 60 minutes. Finish up here and report to the battle lines for disembarkation.”

“What about the pants, sir?”

“Their owners will be along to collect. Tip out the water and leave them on the grass to drain.”

When Caryl re-joined the army, the amphibious vehicles had already been winched down the cliff on to the eastern beach, and the invasion force was gathered ready for the journey. She attached herself to the last squad of soldiers to visit her pant pile, and was amused at the damp patches showing through the uniforms as they made their way uncomfortably down the cliff path. An adjutant saluted smartly, and asked her if she would be kind enough to join the General in the lead vehicle. She complied reluctantly, but was encouraged when she saw Gough at Antarn’s side.

“Well?” Antarn helped her into the armoured car. The two men were poring over a map pinned to the dashboard. It had a plan of the island and an expanse of sea; nothing else. “Where do we go? Can you fill in some blanks?” He handed her a marker pen.

“This way, sir.” She drew what she could remember of the coastline. If we head due east and then change course towards east-south-east by a few degrees every five miles, we should be there in three hours or so.”

“Sixty miles?”

“Not really sir. You see I believe that we’re moving between universes, so it could be any distance.”

“So be it.” He spoke to the driver. “Let’s get the fleet moving. I hope we have enough fuel.”
