356 Thelma

Minutes later, Jake and Will emerged from an elevator at the top of the skyscraper where a large metal platform awaited them. A Yellow Cube, about ten meters wide, emitting a pulsating light comparable to that of a dying sun, was floating in front of them one meter above the ground, slowly spinning on itself.

Accustomed to the procedure Will put his hand against the Yellow Cube and paid the Aether fee required for the teleportation. His body melted into the Yellow Cube and vanished in a flash, leaving his partner behind.

Jake had never been to Thelma before, but he was left unmoved by the trip. He just knew that compared to New Earth, this Floating Island was the jewel of B842 and also the home of the Oracle Overseer in charge of monitoring this planet.

The few guests from other planets and systems had to get special permission to visit B842 and except for a few exceptions, Thelma was the only place they were allowed to set foot. Of course, any form of violence was forbidden.
