"I understand. But the thing about this movement -"
"Look, I can barely follow physics when I can think straight — which is not now — so skip over that and just tell me where we go from here."
Justin sighed. What good was discovering something important if no one wanted to hear about it?
"There's only one thing we can do. We find Seltsam, whatever that is. That's probably where they're operating from. I don't know what they're planning, but from what's written in here, it's big!"
"Uncle Justin, you've stumbled on the secret of instant travel, you've gone half-way around the world in the last hour or so, and you don't have the first clue where Seltsam is. Is that what you're trying to tell me?"
Justin grimaced. "Yeah. And with their freedom of movement, I'd say it could be anywhere on Earth."
"I think I can find out," she said, standing up and walking to the phone. She began to dialing, but suddenly stopped and turned to Justin. "Uncle Justin, would you mind… just going somewhere else for a moment? Like outside? No, go outside the normal way, through the door. Thank-you. And shut it behind you!" Justin allowed himself to be forced outside, where he waited at the top of the steps, wondering whether or not he could blip himself a coat if the wind got any colder.
"Oh, but baby!" Rhonda squealed on the other end of the line. "I'm not supposed to say! I didn't want to give you those cigarettes! Denny told me to!"
"Denny's in on this, too?!"
"Oops," Rhonda muttered.
