The Intergalactic Peddler-Volume 1

by Ronnie Coleinger

  Chapter 17 – Teleportation Accident

  As Jill (now twenty-one years old yesterday) and the computer waited for Ronnie and Angela to teleport back to the Empress from a three-day holiday at the IFTT Headquarters, Jill heard the computer speak her father’s name. It was just one loudly spoken word, “RONNIE.” Thinking Ronnie and Angela had contacted the computer before they teleported back to The Empress, she stepped to the travel console. It was then that she suddenly realized that a serious problem existed.

  Just as Ronnie (holding Angela’s hand) had pressed the green button on his travel watch, the display flickered and the destination changed from The Empress to Timms’s address on the planet Keemus. When Jill had heard the computer speak Ronnie’s name, the computer had already realized the failure of Ronnie’s travel watch, but the computer was unable to prevent the teleportation from taking place. Ronnie and Angela had been teleported onto the antimatter planet of Keemus, then instantly annihilated.
