goomeister appears with the Council military police. They quickly round up Lonevoinian and BD. The MPs slap wrist-binders on the offenders and lead them onto a Miranu Courier which leaves the station. In a few moments, a pair of escape pods left the vessel, hurtling into Gadzair's sun.
goomeister continues to ponder the situation. After enough drinks to make even an Azdgari noticably drunk, he gets an idea. He mutters something into his comlink and a Council scientist appears with some records.
"Don't throw the cesium overboard! Our lives may depend upon it!" Appearing slightly impaired, goomeister is ignored by the rest of the bar.
"We have a chance to get home! The hyper-dimensional oscilator! It's a coil of crystal that causes a pocket of space within the coil to vibrate between dimensions when energy is passed through the crystal. If we detonate the cesium at the exact instant when the HDO fires, it'll blow a giant hole in space! And there is an HDO in storage in the station's lower deck!" the bar's patrons take notice and follow goomeister with the cases of cesium. goomeister removed a small device from his ship before leading the crowd into the depths of the station.
They reached the lower deck. A few hours of searching revealed a large tube. "That's it! Put the cesium in there." goomeister attached his device to the HDO and placed a small charge linked to a water jug on the cesium. He wired the charge and the HDO's power supply together and connected it to the station's datalink access. They went up to the station's uppermost deck, furthest from the blast.
goomeister punched his access code in a nearby terminal. Before triggering the blast, he activated a security camera so the masses could watch the action. He made a call to the trigger. It worked! The cesium exploded exactly as the HDO activated. As goomeister predicted, a rift opened, slowly consuming the station.
"I attached the hyper-dimensional stabilizer to the HDO. The HDO only oscillates between dimensions at the point I tell it to, instead of randomly jumping around. In a short while, the station will reappear in our time. Minus BattleDoctor and Lonevoinan, of course." goomeister grinned. They would trouble him no longer. Then a thought occured: what would BD and Lone do if they survived their planned execution by immolation? They could drastically change their future...
