Lloyd and Rosita noticed that the light spot grew smaller while the intensity of the light itself increased.
So the brightness within the room remained more or less the same except that the corners were not as
evenly illuminated as before.

Finally, what had been originally an area about 25 feet in diameter had become a small point of almost
unbearably bright light. While Rous continued to work, the light point again began to spread out. He
noted this and went on turning things, switching and resoldering as necessary until the light point was back
again on the window pane.

Then he stood up. "So!" he sighed. "Do you know what that is?" He pointed to the spot of light.

Lloyd shook his head.

"Well, naturally I donтАЩt know either," admitted Rous. "But I have a hunch. I surmise that our annular field
here is working as a kind of lens. Light rays from some very distant object are brought through it and are
cut off just at the focal point."

Lloyd looked at him uncomprehendingly. "What light are you talking aboutтАФand where does it come
from?"

Rous scratched his head. "ThatтАЩs the big mystery. If I turn off the generator the light disappears, so the
light does not exist inour roomтАФwe know that."

"ThatтАЩs a little too esoteric for me," grumbled Lloyd. "So what room does it come from?"

Enthused by his discovery, Rous gave him a friendly elbow nudge. "Remember that we could never see
the aliens when they attacked," he said. "They were invisible. If itтАЩs too complicated for you to grasp the
concept of 2 space-continuums being coexistent in which we and the enemy are located, then simply
imagine that we may have found here the means of nullifying their invisibility.

"Actually it works something like this: the ring field with its lens-like properties causes an instability in our
own space structure and that instability acts as a bridge between 2 continuums. The light from one
continuum can go over to the other."

Lloyd nodded. "Good. I think I can understand that. And what else?"

Rous pointed to the spot of light. "What you see there is a picture. A picture of some sort of object in
that other realm of space. If we take a magnifying glass and enlarge it, we will be able to see something."

"Okay thenтАж so weтАЩll just get ourselves a glass."

Rous waved a hand negatively. "A glass magnifier is nothing more than a lens. If the first lens consists of
an annular force field, then the 2nd one can be made up the same way. So all we have to do is to slice
our generator ring into 2 parts and thus obtain 2 annular rings, the one as the objective lens and the other
as the eyepiece." He looked around. "There behind us we have a wide white wall. If weтАЩre lucky weтАЩll be
able to project the picture over there."

Lloyd caught on. Eagerly the 2 of them began to work with the field generator while Rosita watched
them curiously but without the necessary experience to know what she should make of it.
