The Fourth Gambit

[alltheways]

[The Red Queen appears on the network with her Vorpal Shield hanging on the wall behind her. She doesn't sit on a throne, of course--she's not as presumptuous as some Queens--instead she stands, straight and tall. The room she's standing is is completely nondescript, giving away no hints about her location.]

I'm happy to say that I have regained my shield, dear friends, and just in time. Danger is once again coming your way. A crash is imminent.

But there will be a safe haven set aside for you. I fear it may be difficult to find, and it won't be large, but it will be there nonetheless.

[She tents her fingers together, looking pensive.]

It is...the best that could be done.

Ya can't tell us where 'tis, ma'am?

[video]

[alltheways]

No. Unfortunately, I myself do not know with any certainty. But it will exist and it is accessible.

[builditstrong]

Has t'do wi' th' crash, yeah? I remember what ya said afore, 'bout worl's comin' too close. So, the 'vent itself 's gonna create this...save haven, as ya said?

[video]

[alltheways]

It is a feature the temporary landscape, yes.

[video]

[builditstrong]

Alrigh', then. Thanks fer th' 'eads up. No way 'f knowin' whose worl's comin', is there?

[video]

[alltheways]

No, unfortunately I have shared all that I know and all that I have been able to accomplish. If I do learn more though, you can be assured it will not be kept a secret.

[builditstrong]

S' there any sorta pattern t'what ya kin see an' what ya can't? Sounds a bit like seein' th' future.

[video]

[alltheways]

It is more like remembering, I believe. But I am quite forgetful when it comes to things that have yet to come.

[video]

[builditstrong]

Rememberin'...things what ain't happened yet?

[video]

[alltheways]

They will happen, and that is why I can remember them.

[video]

[builditstrong]

Don' make much sense t'me, but I s'pose you know best.

[video]

[alltheways]

...Ah. I always forget that your memories only work in one direction. I apologize for the confusion.

[video]

[builditstrong]

Ya ain't gotta 'pologize fer nothin', ma'am. Anyway, thanks fer the 'eads up.

[video]

[alltheways]

Do take care, my dear.
