The drug first kicked in full on Isabelle, but as it spread over Gypsie's veins, he started catching up. Suddenly something changed. Every part of their bodies felt double, the sense of touch was playing with their minds, or where they actually intertwining?
Isabelle's head soon became flooded with flashes of a bar scene. It didn't look like house space, everything was old and a bit dirty and untidy. Gypsie was having a drink with some other man. Suddenly, an alarm went off. The scene dissolved and in the middle of the blackness appeared a neutron star. Little blue lights started popping up in front of it, and then a larger one. The voice of Skripto could be heard in the background. Nomads? Attacking Puerto Rico? This time of the year?
The scene suddenly shifted to Baffin. There was a station next to the Tau 29 jumphole. Plenty of Zoner vessels where forming up and started their cruise engines. In the background, planet Eris and the Goddess Geode waited in the horizon. A rather robotic voice said: The Temporary Autonomous Zoners would like to welcome all of you to the first Baffin Council of Zoners.
A new scene popped up, Gypsie Skripto was furious in his office. Well tell Golanski he can stick it up his jumphole then! He smashed the telephone against his desk.
As the inner reflections continued, Isabelle noticed Gypsie was no longer sitting on the bed, but lying on it, in ecstasy.
