Author's Note: Oh-ho-hooooh! Time for some genderbent description! ...Okay, not very exciting. Or funny. BUT, but, it IS crucial! To me, anyways.

Meanwhile, in another dimension, a young spacewoman was rushing around a large, marble, pillar-like factory, constructed for the sole purpose of delivering jaffa cakes worldwide. Her arms were filled with glowing blocks caked in a fine golden powder. Of course, she was carrying a large stack of glowstone. She had shoulder-length brown hair, with sharp blue eyes filled with intelligence and bravery. At her hip swung a Red Matter sword.

"HONEYSUCKLE!" she screamed. "DO WE HAVE ANY MORE GLOWSTONE?!"

"WHY DO YOU NEED SO MUCH GLOWSTONE ANYWAYS?!" yelled back the woman supposedly known as Honeysuckle.

The spacewoman sighed. "WEREN'T YOU LISTENING AT THE BRIEFING?"

"NO!"

A facepalm. That's so typical of her... Suddenly, all the glowstone toppled out of the spacewoman's arms, due to her exasperated facepalm. She swore vehemently, then stooped to snatch up all the glowing items. Of course, as she was scrabbling around on the floor, someone just had to come by and see her.

She was around her age, but clad completely differently. She had long blonde hair that fell about her like a curtain (a very messy, tangly, oil-stained curtain). A pair of goggles was perched atop her head, and underneath them sky-blue eyes sparked with knowledge. She was dressed in a sweeping white lab coat, and had gloves that everyone assumed was made of rubber.

"Erm, Zephari?" said the scientist, helping said spacewoman to her feet. "Are you oka- Oh, wow! Thanks! This is just the stuff I needed!" She ducked down and sweeped up all the glowstone in one go.

"Thanks for the concern, Talna," muttered Zephari, brushing off the glowing golden particles clinging to her clothes.

"That's TwistedTeacup, to you," amended the scientist, before dashing off with her arms filled with glowstone. She barked out something to someone, and that someone answered briefly before flying up into view.

"Oh, hi, Jacin," greeted Zephari dully.

Jacin was a strange girl. She was handy with a laser, which made her formidable, but insisted on dressing in her company's uniform at all times. Secretly, Zepahri suspected her of being too lazy to change out. She had sweeped-back brown hair and chocolate-brown eyes, and a voice that suggested that she was happy all the time. Of course, that wasn't true.

"Oh, hello Zeph," smiled Jacin. "Er... you have some... um..."

Zephari blinked as Jacin pointed vaguely at her face. Then, it clicked. The facepalm... the glowstone dust... Zephari swore before thanking Jacin briefly and dashing out, her flying ring making a strange ringing noise that indicated the consumption of fuel.

On her way down, Zephari bumped into Nips, who was coming out of the storage floor. She had grey skin, which was due to a vitamin deficiency, according to Jacin (who was her best friend). Her raven-black hair was ruffled and messily cut short. She had dark eyes, and an almost eternal frown. She was also dressed up in her company's uniform (Nips Co.), although she said that she preferred to wear her blue plaid jacket and pants. Apparently, lamps had killed her father.

"Hey, watch it, Zeph!" exclaimed Nips. She was easily riled.

"Sorry, Nips," apologised Zephari, hovering in mid-air.

Nips shook her head exasperatedly. "Man, Zephari, you can't just go bumping into people. Especially with egg on your face."

"Um, it's glowstone," snapped Zephari.

"Really?" said Nips, cocking her head and squinting. "Oh yeah. It looks like extra-sparkly egg from here."

Zephari sighed, but resisted the urge to facepalm. Instead, she descended rapidly and landed on the ground Factory floor, where she saw her best friend and dwarven lady, Honeysuckle, dropping off some junk accumulated in her inventory into the dump chest.

She had dark eyes, like Nips, but softer. Her curly ginger hair was mostly hidden by a war helmet she liked to wear. However, she more than made up for it with her spectacular ginger beard, that grew from cheek to jowl. Nips constantly teased her, but when on any other girl it would look terrible, Honeysuckle managed to make it look amazing and grand. Probably due to her dwarvish nature.

She wore some kind of adventure kit-suit-thing that covered her forearms, shoulder and breasts (which were really quite voluminous). Her legs were armoured above the comfortable leather pants she wore, and she went everywhere with her diamond pickaxe. Zephari had had to use one of her special "spells" to prevent her destructive friend from picking up or crafting TNT, flint and steel, or any kind of tool that could destroy a large area quickly. However, she was very funny and likeable.

And a flirt. A biiiiig flirt.

"Hi, Honeysuckle," greeted Zephari. "Um, do you have a bucket of water or something?"

Honeysuckle turned around and promptly burst out laughing. "HAHAHAHAHAHA! By Score! HAHAHAHA! Haaah... Ah... ahhh... d-did... what did you DO?!"

"Facepalm a huge amount of glowstone dust into my face," replied Zephari grimly.

The dwarf doubled over in laughter, her sides shaking furiously. After a while, she straightened up and handed out a bucket with trembling hands.

"T-take it..." giggled Honeysuckle. "Oh, girl, you NEED it!"

"Shut up," snapped Zephari, before sprinting through the front door.

Suddenly, the spacewoman screeched to a dead halt. She felt her jaw fall open, and stumbled back, a faceful of glowstone dust now her least problem.

There was a tangle, a pile, of bodies, right in front of her and behind the noticeboard. They all appeared to be male, and were all unconscious. But the scariest thing was how much they looked like them. There was Honeysuckle's beard, on this strange dwarf-man's face... And Teacup's goggles, and the uniforms of Nips Co. And...

And that man? On the top of the pile? Zephari shuddered as she saw how much he looked like her. Sure, there was the facial hair, but that was to be expected. What was REALLY freaky was that he had a Red Matter sword, he had the same hair, same clothes, same... same everything!

And then came the fact that he was a guy.
