At that moment LloydтАЩs observation was ruthlessly interrupted by Rosita, who simply couldnтАЩt suppress
her curiosity any longer. She pulled the towels from his head, shoved him to one side and took his place.

Rous and Lloyd let her have her way. For a few minutes Rosita observed silently and motionlessly. Then
she stood back from the observing position. "So it looks like a plain thatтАЩs paved with tile and thereтАЩs a
couple of dark things on it that could be called machines if you stretched things a bit. Everything is slightly
blurred. I donтАЩt see anything unusual there."

"Is that so?" laughed Rous. "You donтАЩt see anything unusual? Do you know what you were looking at?"
"No," answered Rosita.

"Alright, IтАЩll explain it to you. You were present when we rescued a Mirsalese from disappearing by
means of our screen generator. So you can understand that the forcefield has some kind of effect on the
enemy, whatever or whoever he might be. Just what this effect is we donтАЩt know yet."

"Now when the same kind of forcefield is changed into the proper form it causes an instability in the
structure of space and creates a bridge over which the light from the space-continuum of the enemy can
transfer into ours."

Rosita began to comprehend. Her eyes went wide as she stared at Rous. "You donтАЩt mean to tell me
thatтАж"

Rous nodded calmly. "ThatтАЩs what I do mean to say, exactly. The world of the enemy is different from
ours. He is located in another space-time continuum and he launches his attacks from there. What we are
seeing through this circular window is nothing other than a small indistinct slice of the enemyтАЩs dimension!"

They had gotten their first glimpse. After long weeks of having had to parry and thrust at an unseen
enemy, this was the first time they had succeeded in peering into the other continuum where the
opposition lived.

It was a boost to their confidence if it served for nothing else. The extreme complexities of holding the
image by means of the energy fields made it an impossibility to determine or even estimate where the
scene was that they could see through the circle of light. It was not possible to fix its location, no matter
how logical and reasonable an objective it was to locate something that was, so to speak, in another
universe.

There wasnтАЩt even the slightest clue as to whether what they were looking at was a static structure, fixed
motionlessly by its very nature, or if it was only that another time relationship operated in that other
space, to the effect that movements there were so slow that they could not be detected.

The imageтАЩs tendency to jump closer had been noted a number of times since LloydтАЩs first observation
and occasionally there seemed to be a mathematical inversion of the process so that the jerky movements
resulted in a retreat rather than an advance. Rous did not consider it to be an actual effect but rather
attributed it to fluctuations in the forcefield generator.
