"I know what you dreamed and I know where you hope - but it wasn't the planet below us now. It was as if you were in another time.... or, or," he stammered... "or in another history!"
Distracted, Tonhalle tried to soothe: "Look Semyon- don't regard it. Put it out of your mind, it will only make you ill if you try to make sense of it." He straightened up. "I must get MedLab."
"NO!........
