Upon hearing this news I was shocked and horrified.

"You want me to kill her?"

"Only if you cannot reason with her.....we would prefer her alive.....only then can we repair the timelines....if not then her death will have no significance in the other realm"

"Why is that?"

"The odd occurrence is that Therese is occupying both versions of herself....from both time streams.....so if one was to die....the other one would......the affects we have felt are negligible....her presence will not be missed"

I was at a loss to explain how such an occurrence was possible.

"You want further clarification?"

"Yes please...this mission seemed routine but now it is full of danger"

"We discovered during extensive scans that the crossing of Therese from one dimension to another did not involve humankind"

"Are you saying that Therese is not human?"

"That's correct.....there are a number of forms that she could be taking....but it looks like she left one dimension due to a situation among her own kind.....it was supposed to be a temporal shift to another locale but instead it caused a breach....we also have reason to believe that Therese is the most powerful being of her kind....thus she would have the power for a dimensional shift"

"This is truly bizarre........but I still want to go.....if anything, it will be a history lesson....and to actually indulge in 'sex'.....Im actually feeling tingles throughout my body"

Marissa looked at me and frowned.....such concepts were alien....admittedly we needed relief from the stress of life but that is why virtual reality suites were invented.....The signing of the temporal treaty in 2450 made sexual congress an outmoded concept....anyone caught indulging was castrated and imprisoned.

"Step into the booth.....we have determined that this is the best time to take over the body of Cindy Thompson.....We all wish you well with your mission"

"Will contact be maintained?"

"An old fashioned device called a 'name badge' is fitted to your tunic...it has an inter-dimensional transceiver inside....speak into it and you will be frozen in time so that we can take your report".

I entered the booth.....it began to fill with gas.....I was enveloped in it....and then I was on my way.

"Goodbye Xanthia......and good luck".
