'Erin Mills version 2.5' spoke:

    The bounty hunters and Panda stood stunned as the rock and 
stillettos dealt with the Erin 2.5's. Ideally, the rock would've 
hit the Erin in the T-shirt and jeans, and the stillettos would take 
care of the Erin in the trenchcoat. But, life seldom works out the 
way we'd like, and the exact opposite happened.
    The Erin in the T-shirt hit the ground face-first as the knives 
embedded themselves in his spinal column. Meanwhile, the rock 
connected with the Erin in the trenchcoat's skull and caused him to 
drop his gun. Panda scooped it up and trained it on the both of them.
    "Hold it," he said. The trenchcoated Erin laughed.
    "I really must remember to thank whoever did that. They've just 
insured that I'll be his next clone replacement."
    "What the Hell are you talking about?" asked Kendra. 
    Erin smiled. "Allow me to introduce myself, _I_ am Erin Mills 
version 2.*6*. And I'm afraid I must leave you now..."
    With this, before anyone could act, Erin 2.6  pressed a button on 
the remote and vanished in a similar blast of yellow light.
    "...no...stop him..." Erin 2.5 gurgled as his life's blood began 
to run out. The others crowded around him, not sure what to do.
    "...reality stabilizer...deactivated..."
    The rest was silence.

Stargazer is very confused adn angry right now.  He decides that nobody is
leaving until he knows what is going on.  He uses his ability to track any
'port from one of its endpoints to the other to determine where the other Erin
went.  He then 'ports him back, and uses his 'porter to set up a blocking
field that surrounds Panda and all the other bounty hunters, blocking all
'ports, no matter if their tech or magic.  "Nobody is leaving until we have
some answers here.  I don't care about the rules of the Hunt, I'll burn down any
body who tries to leave.  Once things are cleared up, we can conttinue the hunt.
You two,"  He points his cannon at the 2 Erins, "How do you fit into all this,
and why are their two of you?"
