Episode Fifty-Six

"Aerial"

"It just feels a tinge different, but not too different," Kitty muses as he continues to look around London.

"What does that mean?" Naomi asks, still pulling Ally along. "Where are we?"

"Well, we fell through the Intersect," Kitty says, thinking to himself.

"What does the Intersect intersect?" Naomi asks.

"Parallel dimensions." Kitty begins looking around for clues.

"Did you see that?" Ally calls out loudly, jumping up and down and pointing at the sky above them.

"What?" Naomi looks up at the sky.

"Up there!" Ally squeals. A shape swoops overhead. A large bird shape. "Owls!"

Naomi's eyes widen. She knows what Ally is thinking. "Are you kidding?" Kitty sighs.

Meanwhile, in Paris

It is calm and serene. The stars twinkle brightly and cheerily in the sky overhead. Not a cloud is to be seen and it all seems quite beautiful and perfect.

Mostly.

Tourists and Parisians alike gather and stare in awe and fear up at the Eiffel tower. It seems to be under attack by a continuous bolt of lightning. The bright white light blazes through the night and crackles in the drying atmosphere.

People can't help but wonder if it means anything. There are cries of religious symbolism and the coming apocalypse. There are cries of science and global warming and pollution and detrimental effects on the environment.

From where he stood on the Arc de Triomphe, Wayne of Nine smiles.

Meanwhile, at the Dead Sea

"Thoth and I were mostly interested in teaching and learning," Ma'at explains as Taylor and Neah load the sarcophagus into the back of the jeep. "We kept records of all things we encountered."

"So the temple is like an archive," Neah says, wiping her hands on her pants.

Ma'at tilts her head in affirmation. "Undoubtedly the information you seek is located in the Temple."

"Yes, but how do we get there?" Ashlee asks, leaning against the side of the vehicle.

"Please," Pizoku says quietly, "We're not driving there, are we?"

"Not with her behind the wheel," Reese glares at Ashlee. Ashlee waves him off.

"No," Neah says thoughtfully. "We can go by portal." She smiles and looks at the others. "Egypt is an Ancient culture which in all likeliness was influenced by the Chainkans, there should be a portal there."

"And if Egypt has one, Jerusalem does," Ashlee points out, reminding the others of her earlier point.

Jilan frowns. "We just need to find it."

Taylor slams the back of the jeep shut. "Leave that to me."
