Arriving in [[Universe B (Paying It Forward)|another universe]], Jenny meets up with [[Jenny Everywhere#Stunt pilot|a Jenny]] who is a stunt aeroplane pilot flying an [[Everywhere Explorer]] biplane — or, rather, who had been flying it until a malfunction downed her in the middle of a deserted steppe. Thanks to Cha Ni's list, the second Jenny brought the pilot Jenny precisely the part she needed to repair her aeroplane. With it back in order, the pilot Jenny offers to fly her counterpart to her next destination. | Arriving in [[Universe B (Paying It Forward)|another universe]], Jenny meets up with [[Jenny Everywhere#Stunt pilot|a Jenny]] who is a stunt aeroplane pilot flying an [[Everywhere Explorer]] biplane — or, rather, who had been flying it until a malfunction downed her in the middle of a deserted steppe.

====Part 3==== | |||
After the other Jenny drops her off in the ''Everywhere Explorer'', [[Jenny Everywhere#Helping other Jennies|Jenny]] finds herself looking over an African veldt. She is soon joined by [[Jenny Everywhere#Janni, She Who Walks in Every Place|Janni, She Who Walks in Every Place]], her counterpart in [[Universe C (Paying It Forward)|this universe]] — an Amazon on a quest. She explains that she seeks “wisdom of the tiger, a wheel of numbers, and an owl made of lightning”. Jenny realises that the “wheel of numbers” must be the spare flight computer she had brought the pilot Jenny. | |||
As a gift freely given would not be a fitting prize for a quest, the two Jennies agree on a wager (with Janni offering her spear, the very weapon which slew “[[Jamek Tagilono]], the Nameless Lurker in Shadows”, as the counter-prize). They decide on am-wrestling as the nature of the challenge, with Janni easily beating the modern, city-dwelling Jenny. The latter then leaves, wishing Janni good luck on her two other challenges (with the two of them agreeing that it would not do for all three of Janni's adventures on this quest to involve the help of an echo of herself, though for a single one of the three it is a welcome addition to the story). | |||
