"You know the wigglies are going to try to get in as soon as I turn this thing on, right?"
"We don't know that for sure."
"Yeah but -
"But it's a good guess," says Kendra. "I think I have all the ways in blocked, but I'll try to be quick."
She breathes out then rolls her shoulders. "Come on, lets do this before I lose my nerve."
"Oh! Right! - Wait."
"What?"
"I just want to - I mean - I - look, if we're going to do this…"
Crap!
Bina started this sentence with the best of intentions, but it's running away on her.
Sentence fragments babble out, nothing connecting. "You just spent - like, I mean - I went to sleep and you spent like two hours protecting me from monsters, alone, and you built a time machine and you didn't even mention how weird the journal is and - I'm just this crazy girl you met and - look - even if this doesn't work…"
She trails off.

The silence stretches. Kendra starts to say, "Uuhh -

"Come on! Lets do this!"
"We don't know that for sure."

Notes
Sorry for the lack of interactivity over the last few days. I know everyone just wants to GET TO THE TIME TRAVEL DAMMIT, and I do too, but the limits of time and energy means that I can't just jump right there in one update. Too many panels, too much to draw.
It will be one or two more days of ==>.
