guns, the opponents of Styphoni supported armies are quickly dispatched. It's been a very successful
policy throughout Styphon's House Subsector, except on one time-lineтАФKalvan Prime.

"From all reports, with Lord Kalvan, Styphon's House ran up against someone from the outside who
knew the Fireseed Mystery and was not cowed by their wealth or military might. Kalvan is the former
Calvin Morrison, a Pennsylvania State Policeman, who was picked up as a transtemporal 'hitchhiker' on
a Fourth Level Europo-American time-line far advanced over Aryan Transpacific, both socially and
technologically."

There were snickers from the audience as they all were familiar with Hispano Colombian. The dominant
culture there was socially backward, but also explosively creative and technologically innovative. Lately,
the latest Hispano-Colombian music crazes and flat screenmovies had become very popular with the
masses on First LevelтАФespecially the proles.

"This Pennsylvania State trooper, after an interpenetration foul-up with another transtemporal conveyor,
was able to subdue his Paratime Police host and was dislodged from the conveyor onto Styphon's House
Subsector."

There was a murmur of appreciation for his feat. While most University professionals disliked the
Paratime Police and their over-zealous regulations concerning outtime travel, they did appreciate their

Scholar Danthor stepped back from the podium and a 3-D image of a lanky Paratime Policeman in his
green uniform seated in front of a table appeared on the visiscreen. "Here is a recent interview of Araln

Paratime Police Chief Verkan do if he knew?

The familiar voice of Yandar Yadd filled the hall. "So, Officer Araln, what were the circumstances of
your unexpected pick-up of Calvin Morrison?"

Araln looked sheepishly into the recording lens. "I had finished making a standard pick up on
Europo-American, Confederate States Subsector, and was returning to Fifth Level Police Terminal when
my conveyor merged transtemporal fields with another conveyor on an unscheduled jaunt to Third
Level."

"Then what happened?"

"When the two fields juxtaposed there was a opening created in the transtemporal fieldтАФ"

"Hold on a minute, Officer Araln, not all of our listeners are familiar with Paratemporal jargon. Just what
is an opening in the time field?"
 Using his hands, Araln continued, "When two conveyors pass the same spot their fields try to occupy the
same time/space continuum," he paused to inter-twine his fingers. "This creates a transtemporal void, or
opening. Any objects and/or lifeforms, including humans, that are in the immediate vicinity can be
'accidentally' picked up and deposited into one of the interpenetrating conveyors. This is what happened
with State Trooper Morrison. Now you understand," continued Officer Araln, suddenly animated,
