Upon receiving the message, Sheena had hightailed it to the meeting, curious about what was going on. As she sat and watched the video, she was reminded of the hologram communicators at the human ranches, but this had been recorded? And wasn't live? Like a moving painting...

But even as she watched Kalki's expression and listened to Jack translate, there was one thing that had caught Sheena's attention. By the time the video ended and Jack sat down, her confusion had deepened into complete puzzlement.

"If there's nothing like this...tape...on Crystallis, then how did Kalki get it? Did she make it? How did she learn it? Is there a connection to this Earth we don't know about?"

Were the "Ancients" from that world? And is that connection part of the problem they now faced?
