COULD BE ANYTHING. ASPECTS SHIFTING. DISAPPEARING. ALSO, YOU MAY SEE SOME
STRANGE VARIANT UNIVERSES, ONES WEтАЩVE NEVER SEEN BEFORE. EVEN ANTI-

CUT OUT THE PAGES SO THAT JEREMY CAN USE THE SHEET FEEDER.

тАЬMy books!тАЭ Osmirik wailed. тАЬTheyтАЩll be ruined!тАЭ

Incarnadine went on: YOU CAN START ON THAT RIGHT NOW. JEREMY, YOU MUST HAVE
THE OPERATING SYSTEM READY FOR A BIG JOB BY THE TIME I GET BACK. WILL YOU
TRY?

Jeremy sighed. тАЬJesus, heтАЩs not giving me much choice.тАЭ
