         Ooooog... now that's *nasty.*  And Sam QLs
into one of the
Senshi....

And it didn't immediately occur to you which one?  ^_^

"The bad news is, whoever this woman is, some of her
powers came with her.  She knocked us out almost as
soon as she leaped into your body, and when we came
to, most of the equipment was gone.  We're not sure
how long this jury-rigged transmission will last."

Sam lowered his head in resignation.  "So now I can
never come home."

"The good news is, you're coming home."

"...say that again?"

"This woman's a time traveller, Sam.  It's apparently
got something to do with that staff you're holding.
Just raise it above your head and think of the lab.
It should take you to us.  And I'd suggest you hurry."

"Why's that?"

"She said something about making sure all this never
existed.  We're pretty certain she wants to stop
Project Quantum Leap from happening."

Sam stared into space for a moment.  "It's worse."

"How could it possibly be worse, Sam?  We would never
have existed."

"I've got some of her memories.  She's planning to
leap to the Moon, and I don't mean the Apollo
missions."  Sam looked up, into the night sky.  "She
remembers an entire kingdom up there."

"A kingdom?  On the Moon?  That's impossible, Sam!"

"A thousand years ago.  She erased all traces of its
existence, all records that it was ever there, after
it was destroyed, but if she can keep it from
falling...no one we know would have existed.  I'm
going to have to meet her there."

"What are you talking about?  Get up here.  We need
you to help track her down."

Sam held the key-shaped staff high.  "She couldn't do
it before.  A person can only exist once at any time.
But now she can leap into herself, and she knew this
was going to happen.  She doesn't know if she'll
succeed, but she's already got a plan to set right
what she thinks went wrong.  When I jump, I'll come
out into whatever history she's made.  I won't exist
unless I jump before she does."

As he watched Sam ascend into a rapidly forming pink
swirl of clouds, Al could only think that his friend
seemed a little ridiculous in the leotard and skirt,
but his mind could easily picture them accentuating
the woman's curves, doubtless the view everyone else
had.

Then the magnitude of what Sam had relayed set in.
"Oh, boy."
