Author: Princess J'Li Whitemane
Subject: "November!!!! Where are we?"

In a blinding flash the Kymellian smartship reemerged into normal space, far from home.

"November!" she cried, grappling with the controls, "I'm starting to think my father was right! Turn around! Take us back to Kymellia at once!"

"I'm afraid I have no bearing on our coordinates Princess...whatever power surge propelled us from Kymellia and overrode your father's flight restictions also fried my telemetry boards...I believe we may have passed through a spacial distortion of some kind as well, taking us far from home.

We're lost, J'Li."


The Princess' head hung low as her vessel spoke these last words. Lost. She had done the impossible, or what had once seemed out of her reach, and disobeyed her father. She wanted adventure, to see more than her homeworld, and was now realizing the wisdom of the old earth proverb about care and wishes....

"Kkkaccrackk! Hochal! Khhar Mach spoo! Khhar!"

The equine's eyes widened in horror at the gutteral voice coming in over November's transmitter. J'Li had been fortunate to be born nearly 30 generations after the defeat of her races lizardlike ancestral enemies, but even she had heard horror stories about the Z'nrx. The voice sounded a lot like what had been described to her. Only this was no story to frighten a small child. This was real, and she had no idea how to respond.

She hoped November's translators would find a match soon....
