There was a moment of pure magnificence when I was able to appreciate where I was standing and what I was doing. The gold ring spun by overhead, its faint hum a small comfort. Then came the silver, and finally the bronze.

I watched them spin around me, not altogether different than the matrix on the Word. The consequences would be different, though. First, I needed to bond to the ship.

I began with fire, and tapped it on all three rings. With each press the vessel rumbled, and something answered within me. On the third press we were one. I could see through the Flame of Knowledge, and something altogether primal peered back through me.

Madness. That was the single word that described the mind before me, both the ship and its closest servants, all driven to insanity, though by what I couldn’t say. A vast ocean of pain and trauma surged through me as we joined.

It trickled down the back of my throat, and whispered into my ear, and promised to scour away my sanity. If I let it.

I had power here, and I fought back. My mind was my own. I focused on that, on the matrix, and the rings around me. In that moment I finally became aware of the sea of infinite possibilities around me.

I understood.

The Web of Divinity stretched in all directions, a vast interconnected flow of branching realities. I could perceive them as a seamless whole, and journey to the one I wished. Or merely peer into them, and study what our galaxy might have been.

The experience was overwhelming in the extreme, and focusing on any one thing caused pain and blurred my vision. There was a sort of undulating tide to the possibilities, one I hadn’t yet learned how to ride.

“The light of the past.” I closed my eyes, and let the prophecy guide me. A resonant chime sounded in the distance.

When I opened my eyes I could see a glittering object in the distance, though it lay underneath a half score millennia. I saw the Remora, not as she was today, but as she’d been in another age, a magnificent magitech vessel with a gleaming hull.

A powerful pulsing came from within the vessel…a sort of beacon. Time beacon? Temporal beacon? Was that what I needed?

I studied the beacon, even as the insanity filled my stomach, and my mind, and my nightmares. There was something else in that sea of possibility.

I spun around and spotted a second beacon. A second Remora. This one lay much closer. This was the vessel we’d arrived in. The hull rusted and pitted, and full of rushed patch jobs. It too bore a beacon. The same beacon, cleverly hidden in a bulkhead all those millennia ago.

All I needed to do was swap the two. Bring the original Remora, and superimpose it over my own. Simple, right?

Nothing is ever simple.

Jerek? It was Vee’s voice, and it bore an edge of panic. What’s happening?

This is the depths damned vortex of death, my father’s gravelly voice came next.
