With it back in order, the pilot Jenny offers to fly her counterpart to her next destination.
Worldbuilding
Jenny Everywhere
- The story's main Jenny is the version previously seen in Parallax and Camera Shy.
- It is suggested that the oracle Cha Ni is also a version of the Shifter. She described as “about [Jenny's] height, with long silver hair”, wearing “a layered white robe and, of course, a long stole and a blindfold over her eyes”.
Universes
- The story's main Jenny lives in one universe. She visits another one which is home to the Temple of the Oracle.
Other
- Jenny once saved “her world's computer inter-network” in something to which she refers as “the Eye of Tripoli thing” and got banned from Shangri-La for “putting the ram in the Rama Llama’s ding-dong”. She insists that she only had good intentions.
Continuity
- Cha Ni reminds Jenny of how she “fought [her] mirror self to her death”, referring this Jenny's first encounter with a Jenny Nowhere, in PROSE: Parallax.
