The first aliens to arrive on planet Earth were the Dorts. They
were amoebalike and frighteningly large, but they did favor us with
the Theory of Transformation-a brilliant advance over prior
attempts by theoretical and particle physicists to create the
ultimate, Unified Theory of Everything; but like all great
theories, even theirs had limitations.
Centuries after the first Dorts arrived, Laura Shane was born.
She reinterpreted the Dort Theory by giving it the "finishing
touch" of her genius. It led to the faster than light removal of
miles-deep, cone-shaped plugs from planet Earth. The latest and
largest such Cone carried a crew of thousands. It was named the
Great Cone of Transformation.
Through his 3T Corporation, Ned Keller directed the creation of
Cones. Despite Laura's unease about her first voyage into space,
she and Ned went together on the Great Cone's maiden mission.
Two weeks later they were light years from home when Ned's
"boss," Jack Lewis, arrived to inform them of an event on Earth
with implications for their mission. Unfortunately his concern did
not include awareness of what those implications might be; but they
were already in peril. It was sabotage-the first in a series of
calamities.
Before the final calamity began to close in on them (the "Big
Rip," set to destroy the entire local multiverse) and before Jack's
recent arrival, it was still teatime on the Great Cone. Laura and
Ned were having a pleasant morning beside her pool. The story
begins there, with our attractive young genius sipping tea and deep
in thought about her bewildering circumstances and the unchanged
perception of all the things around her. Ned was reading
comfortably in a nearby lounge chair. Now and then he'd look up to
speak of love, while shamelessly admiring her long and lovely
legs.
