“So let’s recap,” Pop says. “We don’t need to recap,” I say, dryly. “No, you teach the classes. This is the point where you recap all the things that happened to get us stuck out here in space in my granddaughter’s ridiculously named spaceship, looking for an… Errestian.” “Lerrestian, Pop,” I say. “YOU are a Lerrestian, I’m half Lerrestian, and the guy we’re chasing through space is, apparently, a Lerrestian too.” “Who stole the spaceship I gave to Sunny,” Pop finishes up smugly. “Good job on the recap, I give you… oh, a six out of ten,” he says. “Of course you do. But I wasn’t TRYING to recap. If I was trying to recap, I’d be talking about how YOU almost killed the healer, Mary, way back in the past—a couple of different ways in a couple of different alternate timelines, which led HER to try and take out the Hall, and that led her to working with Walter Colleck and waking up the Lerrestian he had frozen in his Antarctic base,” I say. “And look, we’re getting straight to the convoluted part, are you happy now?”
