"Bob? How the hell did you get my pager number? Uh huh, right. Is it *that* important? We're in the middle of a crisis here. What sort of message? WHAT?!?"

Celly looked around her surroundings carefully. Well, they weren't in the Summer of Love anymore, that was for sure. Though there was the same crush of people around, the mood was heavier, more testosterone laden, and Kid Rock was belting out "Nookie" at the top of his lungs. "Damn," Celly said out loud. "We're at Woodstock 99... this is a bit before Lambda Project went down, so we're still in the past." Celly frowned in thought. She started to mentally catagorize and scan everything she could about Woodstock 99. Mostly news reports. It might help. What did she remember about it...?

Mercy shaded her eyes to get a better look at the crowd. "So what are we doing here anyway? I want to know who's playing with time and take a good shot at him."

"Her," Remy said. "It's probably a her. I bet one of the Otaku is doing this, but I didn't know any of them could manipulate time."

"I didn't either," Celly added. "Maybe Nyx is a part of it? She did blow Mercy away just before all this craziness started."

"For some reason, I don't think Nyx is capable of pulling something like this on her own. Maybe she's joined the other side?" Mercy ventured.

Celly laughed. "Can *you* see Nyx getting along with Meredith, Kristsi, or *Anaera*?"

"Then who?" Remy asked. "How are we supposed to stop all this time-travel and get back to our own time?"

Celly smiled as she finished her sorting through of information. True, she didn't have the best memory in the world, but she did remember the important things. "Don't you guys remember?"

The two other Otaku looked quizically at each other before they both smiled as well.
