Chapter 6

I’m writing in a rush. An anonymous source from the MINDS has confirmed our suspicions. Exarch Highbrow will make an official announcement soon. We’ve sent all our data back to base just in case… It might be weeks, days until the big evacuation. They suspect someone is feeding information to the Defiers.

Today is the day we pass through the P.O.R.T.A.L.. We got a silky note late last night saying we need to flee at once. The Defiers have been moving at a steady pace. Our comms might not work on the other side. It’s been an honour!

We made it. I think. We are still on STEM 2801, just on a different plane/ timeline of reality. We are still grasping the concept. We have all our heads and toes. Passing through the P.O.R.T.A.L. had no harmful side effects on our physiology, except an itchy uvula.

Our comms seem to have been unaffected. MIND specialists have closed the P.O.R.T.A.L. behind us so no Defiers could follow us. We are trying to get information on how that works, and if we are safe finally. The MINDS seem to have resumed their work at the new settlement as if this is a new version of Neuropia. They call this new settlement, Libria.
