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.

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).
