  Claire could feel Vance trying to penetrate her psyche, staring at her, unblinking. She gracefully deflected his innuendo and gave her stock answer, "Communication Via Transit thrives because the Tribes came together for all of us."


  "Ah, perhaps." Locking eyes, Vance said very quietly, "Everyone is someone else's puppet." He took a deep breath and continued solemnly, "Personally, I’d like to think that history is like a meandering road while it happens, but appears completely deterministic to us in retrospect."


  It wasn't the conversation Claire Elsworth had expected.  It had all started when she had made the mistake of answering one more call, just like we all do. She skipped the scheduled interstellar flight of her private ship, WALLABY DARN, who departed with only her husband Martin and daughter Keira onboard. Claire kissed them goodbye and sent them on ahead, promising to catch up with them later at the hotel on planet Disney World. But Martin and Keira never arrived, and WALLABY DARN vanished from time and space.


  Unbeknownst to Claire, generations before, an anthropologist, a geneticist, an astrophysicist, and a slobbering bulldog searched for clues to unravel genetic links between themselves and their ancestors. Confounded by evidence of people that were seemingly out-of-their-own-timelines, they questioned whether their own descendants had been abandoned in the distant past by a conspiracy to manipulate human history.
