Chapter 21

Angela watched Vaughn fly the craft across the Alpine foothills north of Monte Carlo. He looked frustrated. She knew he wasn’t happy with her putting off the sharing of her theory, but she wasn’t sure about it herself. Angela needed to work her way through her thesis before she could defend it, had to think through all of its potential holes.

Turning from Vaughn, she looked down and scanned the craft’s instruments. Its numbers and characters were completely alien. However, all of the digits glowed green. In spite of his assurances about the aircraft being ‘Vaughn-proof,’ Angela couldn’t help but worry that green-for-good might not be universal.

“You sure everything is okay with this thing? We’re not going to run out of gas or electricity?”

Vaughn shrugged. “Everything is green.”

Angela frowned and cocked an eyebrow. After a moment, she sighed and gave him a curt nod.

The vessel began to climb in earnest as they flew up the tree-lined slopes of the Alps. Angela spotted a few more of the rocky domiciles. There weren’t as many here, but the tragedy represented by all those empty homes threatened to undo her. However, there was one thing that kept her going. She knew that it was still happening at this very moment, that millions of these amphibians along with the rest of this world’s animal life were even now falling to that damned light.

The sphere banked left as Vaughn steered it through a cut in the mountains.

Studying the lay of the land, Angela realized that it was the same pass they'd gone through in the helicopter when they had trailed the line of levitating ships en route to Geneva.

During that previous trip, they had flown over uncountable expanses of farm fields, but now Angela gazed down on a valley covered by wide swaths of shallow water. The multi-tiered terraces covered the land. She pointed at one of them. “Looks like rice paddies. Maybe they cultivate aquatic plants.”

Vaughn shrugged. “Maybe not just plants. Those look like the crawfish paddies we had in Southeast Texas and Louisiana.”

Multiple mountain ridges crossed the land ahead of the ship. Layered one over the other, each subsequent ridgeline painted a lighter shade across the sphere’s windshield. The farthest peaks were barely perceptible in the hazy distance. Angela wondered what they would find beyond it.

She felt Vaughn staring at her.

“Stop changing the subject, Angela.”

“Huh?”

Vaughn pointed ahead. “Uh, Geneva. You know, the city you wanted to see. It's time you share this theory of yours.”

Angela looked down and then back at Vaughn. “I think we might find the collider.”

“What makes you think there’s a collider anywhere in this timeline?”

“Because of the light wave we saw here. I think that’s how the robots linked to our world. They used our collider against us. They might have done the same thing to these people.”

Nodding slowly, Vaughn looked at her with brightening eyes. “Okay, that makes sense. The fish-heads must have found our old one and somehow reactivated it.”

Angela shook her head. “No, not the same collider.
