A revolution of the planet around its star.<br><br>Something has gone wrong.

*[[Fortuna]] triggers after [[Eden]] crash-lands onto an [[Earths#Eden's_World|alternate Côte d'Ivoire]].<ref>In the doing, it alters one of the third entity’s powers, replacing its own ability to find the optimal future.<br><br>In that very instant, it recognizes that it has made a grave error.  The simulated world and the glimpse of the optimal future are already gone from its grasp.  Too late.<br><br>The perspective changes, breaking away, distant, confused, detached.

The woman fell a little harder.<br><br>The entity moved, and everything around them stirred.  A thousand hands, a thousand arms, not all attached to the hands, legs, feet, ears, eyes, faces without features, expanses of skin, they twitched and writhed.<br><br>The noise around them faded, the heartbeats going still, the breathing quieting.  The movements all around them stopped. - [[Interlude 29]]</ref>
