Welcome back for another snippet from War’s End. The big question for all of them (aside from how to stay alive and get home) has been how they got from the ship (which was getting decidedly unfriendly) to the surface of Rakal. Now they may have that answer, though the problem of survival is still there.
“Lyra said if she were frightened enough she might teleport to me. But ….”
“Colo was still after her!” Audi exclaimed. “She went farther to get away from him, and since she wouldn’t leave you, and we were all in physical contact, she brought all of us along. No wonder she’s hungry!”
“Poor baby,” Ginger said as she rummaged in her kit. “Nothing wrong with you, Coralie—no Human mammary system could keep up with the energy demands of a R’il’noid baby who’s just teleported that much mass. No wonder she couldn’t quite manage the energy and momentum matching.”

I’ll be slow getting around today (most will be next week, if at all) because I’m taking off in a plane about the time this goes live at midnight. (The only way to get connections out of Alaska is via the red-eye.) If I make my connections, I’ll get to upstate New York (Ithaca) well into the afternoon and I am not going to arrive in any condition to be surfing the internet and leaving coherent comments.

This is perfect, Sue Ann! It explains everything so logically. ‘Course, I expect nothing less from you!
Enjoy New York!
Bit of a shock for the mother.
Well . . . it usually is, anyway.
The baby? The baby teleported them? That’s a neat twist.
Not very competently, but it got them all there alive.
Wow, talk about an attention grabber! The baby teleported them?!?
That’s what happened.
Been leading up to this.
Safe journey. Is someone teleporting you? Interesting eight.
Safe? Well, they all survived.
Aha! Interesting and revealing post!
I’ve been leading up to this one for a while.
I loved the idea that the baby teleported them! Take it easy on your long journey today, hope it goes well…
Long is right! I got picked up at home 9 pm Saturday, reached my sister’s home 5 pm Monday, and didn’t have that much time between planes. Still trying to figure out my brother in law’s Windows PC.
That’s one talented baby.
Definitely.
A baby that can teleport them? Now that’s different. Enjoy your trip!
Actually too warm for a sweater this morning.
The baby? Now that would never have occurred to me! Very original – well done!
Well, it wasn’t a very well controlled teleport.
That’s why she was so hungry.
Well, that was a twist I didn’t see coming. I love that the BABY teleported all of them. No wonder she’s so darn hungry, I’m betting that took quite a bit out of her
It certainly did!
What a very interesting turn of event!
Baby teleportation is an awesome idea. I just hope she doesn’t do it again by accident and take them to a frightful place.
I suspect she’s going to be a handful to raise.
Quite a bit of interesting background information here. The baby is not human and wore herself out when she teleported in terror. Fantastic twist.
She’s hybrid, part Human, but the teleportation comes from the non-Human side. Coralie (who is Human) is going to have her hands full.
