Watching Aïcha, transported back home to safety, a wounded Xan prepares to leave Martial Earth to join the rest of the warriors in battle.

The writer gives life to a story, the reader keeps it alive.
Heyem is still in a state of shock, after the attack, and has discovered that she not only has two unlikely saviours, but another one of her girlfriends is an Amanojuko spy.

Xan and Edith, followed Heyem along the pathway, phased out of focus so that Heyem could not detect them. They both materialised as three Amanojuko agents were also stalking Heyem and appeared on the pathway. The agents surround Heyem in an attempt to abduct her.

Heyem is suspicious that the two strangers who have gate crashed her lecture are not innocent passers-by, interested in herstory.

Generals Xan Medani and Edith MehXian have been ordered by President Asenath Bomani to keep watch over Xan’s progeny, as the Amanojuko agents are taking particular interest in their twin granddaughters, Alexand and Heyem. Xan and Edith sit in the second row of Heyem’s lecture theatre posing as students. Xan has used a gender switch to disguise himself, as he believes Heyem could recognise him as a man. Edith being much younger than she was when she had died, remains in her own body.

Future Alexand finished the interview a few hours ago, and after the News crew had left, she retired to her bedroom, to get away from people, as she was emotionally exhausted.

Cordelia Gray wishes her film crew had been transported to Alexand’s garden with her, but the consummate reporter knows this is probably the biggest scoop of her career. She has a recording device inside her writer, which has captured the whole conversation, and she is hungry for much more.

Anya has never touched a piano before or seen musical instruments. She has not met women married to each other, or who are so free spirited. Such things are taboo back at the Haernyara Headquarters and will one day be placed inside the Bad Thing Box worldwide.

Anya has followed the eccentric future version of Alexand Merek, posing as a Kyo-ashita called Creya Johal, to the Kyo-ashita quarters, after being granted probationary sanctuary.

Future Alexand’s Guild Master has arranged for her alter ego, Creya Johal to have lodgings onboard the Kyuunansen. Future Alexand had to pretend not to care about Katherine, and they both reluctantly parted from each other, Kat returning to her laboratory and Alexand chaperoning her ward, Anya Ranyevzsky.

Asenath Bomani orders the entire army of Kyo-ashita, and everyone else save Inajda Rekaya out of her High Council chamber.

Future Alexand, in the guise of a Kyo-ashita guard, has been charged with the custody of Anya Ranyevzsky.

Katherine had taken the two new refugees to her friend Jay Varma’s laboratory, as Jay is an expert on cloned technology, and the most qualified on board the Kyuunansen to help with Aamiina’s injuries.

The Guild Master’s General has been ordered by his Guild Master to assassinate a high-ranking member of the American Government in 3992. This politician would have risen to become a leading member of Filius Anderson’s Knights of the Amanojuko, resulting in the death of Anesidor Sumian, a key member of the resistance. The Guild Master’s General must take this agent out to save Anesidor’s life. (Story refers to issue 2: Anesidor Sumian)

Mr Ash walks the corridors of Anum Anzeti’s castle and approaches the Time Maintenance Library in search of the illusive General’s Guild Master.

Grace O’Malley takes the Amanojuko agent back in time to Ireland, March 1574.
