"I know." Kortock sighed. "Makes you lose every last morsel of sympathy for the krobinnuti."
"Where should we go? Did you get that map?" Aiden asked the mentor.
"I downloaded it while you were busy. This is…this dimension does not favor regular planets."
"What is that even supposed to mean?"
"The surfaces the krobinnuti live on…they are fragments of a destroyed planet that, somehow, by the powers of different laws of physics, have maintained a stable atmosphere. No, Ian, please don't give me that look. I wish I could explain more, but I am a humble gambler and this is too close to quantum physics for me."
Ian felt strangely elated, almost manic. When he looked around, he saw the same emotion repeated on Diana's face as well.
"So, first things first!" Ian said cheerily. "Let us cook the krobinnuti tail. I would say I am eager to know how it will taste like. That would be a fat lie. I don't care for the quest at all, and frankly, I hate my system for it."
