"Oh my. What's it like?"
"You'll see." responded Eric as he checked his watch again, "in about eight minutes. That is if you're will to risk having the adventure of a lifetime."

"Becasue a mass of curious aliens pouring into that world would destroy it utterly. Listen Cass, never has there been such an opportunity." He rolled his eyes as if to say the opportunity was beyond measure.
