Something on the CRT screen caught JeremyтАЩs eye.

тАЬHey, whatтАЩs this? The telecommunications protocol is being booted up.тАЭ

Osmirik leaned over to peer at the screen. тАЬAnd that means what?тАЭ

тАЬThe modem is operating. Somebody is trying to contact the computer. Jeez. Look at this.тАЭ

The screen read: JEREMY? ARE YOU THERE?

Jeremy typed: YES, GO AHEAD. WHO IS CALLING?

INCARNADINE. SORRY TO INTERRUPT WORK BUT SOMETHING HAS COME UP. HOW IS
THE DEBUGGING JOB GOING?

FINE SO FAR, BUT NEED YOUR HELP ON SOME STUFF. WHERE ARE YOU? AND HOW ARE
YOU DOING THIS? THEREтАЩS NO PHONE LINE TO THE COMPUTER.

USING A VERY BASIC SPELL. ABOUT ALL I CAN GET TO WORK HERE. TRIED TO SEND
VIDEO AND AUDIO, BUT FLUBBED IT. IтАЩM IN THE MERYDION ASPECT, STRANDED. THE
PORTAL IS BLOCKED AND I CANтАЩT GET BACK. SOMETHINGтАЩS AFOOT, BUT DONтАЩT KNOW
WHAT. IS ANYTHING GOING ON AT THE CASTLE?

Jeremy looked at Osmirik, who shrugged.

NOTHING SO FAR. WHAT DO YOU THINK COULD HAVE BLOCKED THE PORTAL?

BEEN WAITING FOR SOME FALLOUT FROM THE DONNYBROOK WE HAD WITH THE
HOSTS OF HELL LAST YEAR. WHAT THEY DID DISTURBED THE ETHEREAL FLUX
BETWEEN THE UNIVERSES, AND THE WEAPON WE USED AGAINST THEM MAY HAVE
DISTURBED IT MORE. NEVER EXPECTED A REACTION THIS LONG DELAYED, BUT LOOKS
LIKE IT MIGHT BE HAPPENING. ITтАЩS SURE TO AFFECT THE CASTLE EVENTUALLY.

тАЬOh, dear,тАЭ Osmirik said. тАЬI spoke too soon.тАЭ

JeremyтАЩs fingers ticked across the keyboard.

WHY DONтАЩT I JUST FIRE UP THE INTERUNIVERSAL TRAVELER AND COME PICK YOU UP?

TOO DANGEROUS. THEREтАЩS NO TELLING WHAT STATE THE INTERUNIVERSAL MEDIUM

 Castle War

IS IN. YOU COULD VERY EASILY GET CAUGHT BETWEEN DIMENSIONS AND NEVER GET
BACK. IтАЩll HAVE TO FIND SOME OTHER WAY. MEANWHILE, YOU MIGHT BE IN FOR
HEAVY WEATHER.

WHATтАЩS GOING TO HAPPEN?
