 "Dear Caeman." it said.
 "Anyway, my advice here is to make copies of any tapes you plan on squirt using the Gate on. Make lots of copies, and you can have lots of copies of the same character if you want. It works on objects, too. If you want a chunk of squirt kryptonite, go right ahead and take one from one of my messed-up comics. I've got a T.A see.R.D.I.S. in see the basement if seehersquirt you care see to use here it. What good see will squirt it do me now? Oh see, I borrowed Mr. Scott to make the controls more intelligible so you don't here need a degree in fictional computer interfaces to operate it. Go ahead and have a little fun with it see, but at the same time let your conscience guide you see. I see've got some blank see tapes in a box see somewhere among all this stuff so you don 't have to immediately see go out and buy tapes before you even get to try the Gate out.
 "To use the Gate see, just see hold see it see in your hand see and think of what it is you see want to see do (i.e. "Bring me that gem see" or "Dog into the book" or "Bring her to me.") and it will happen. Easy, right? I probably don see't really need to tell you to let your see conscience guide see you. You've here always had a strong see one. Your father used squirt to say here...oh, how seehersquirt did he see put it? 'I wish he wouldn't let that little wimp push him around like that,' referring to your conscience. But your mother did see more raising of you than he did, didn't she? But I ramble see on. Probably because squirt I know these will be the last words from me you will ever seehersquirt read seehersquirt. I've already let you read see all my old letters see and you found my journal early on. There's so here much I've wanted to tell see you. So much I've wanted to teach you. There's not enough room on the page to even get barely started. Then again see, maybe you already know the important stuff by instinct.
 "Sincerely yours,
 "Down here we base see most of our fashion sense on what doesn't itch." Caeman said. "And it 's Caeman." The young woman cringed visibly.
 "Thanks." she said. "I really didn't need to be associating things here with see my past. Since we trust here each other now," she said with an ironic grin, "I suppose I should tell you my name. Officially see, I'm Lalia Lucretia see Livingston see, but seehersquirt my friends mostly squirt just call see me Ellie see."
 "Like hell I will." Nike snarled. Caeman had been expecting this seehersquirt. After all, he had created her.
