[OOC: Pre-Milliways...]

It's been years - decades, actually - since Cordelia was a Betan Astronomical Survey Captain, but she's fairly certain her skills haven't deteriorated that badly.

There's no getting around it, though: the console cannot be persuaded to identify the starfield visible from Milliways as anywhere in the known universe.

Cordelia is aware that she's been stubbornly resisting the obvious conclusion for some time now. The awareness will make it easier to accept the conclusion eventually, but for now it has the unwanted side effect of making her feel just a little petulant and foolish.

Which makes that odd hallway - she's already started thinking of it as the access hallway - just that little bit more attractive. You know you won't let me alone until you've figured me out, it whispers; and if you're going to accept my nature sooner or later, it may as well be sooner.

Well, and so.

In an innocuous-looking hallway in the Viceroy's Residence on Sergyar, just off the master bedroom, Cordelia stumbles out of thin air and puts up a hand to catch herself on the wall. She blinks in the dimness for a moment, then moves down the hallway as silently as she can.

She peers into the bedroom. Aral is still there, still asleep; and according to the wall chrono, her entire experience in the place called Milliway's lasted approximately two seconds.

Which is impossible, on the face of it. But not really much more impossible than having gotten there in the first place.

Frowning to herself, more in puzzlement than in bad temper, Cordelia moves off down the hall again.

And vanishes.
