Find a way to stay awake
It's going to blow, it's going to break
This is more than I can take." - Peter Gabriel, 'Steam'.

"Time for what? You may not have noticed, but I'm kind of beat here."
"Time for you to go to the Tall Man." She pointed over one of the dunes. "He is approximately five of your miles in that direction. He is taking your freind Mike to Or'b. You must go to them."
"I must, huh. And what about you? You just going to stay here and work on your crazy scribblings and fucked up radio?"
"Don't worry. I will meet you there. I need to prepare this vessel for what is to come." She gestured and his shotgun flew back off the table into his arms. Before he could decide what to do with it, a dimensional fork appeared in front of her, and she vanished through it.
"Time, huh?" Reggie muttered to himself. "What the hell, I got my four friends back. I guess we got things to do!"
