Mandragora went over the basics of what had happened since the group had disappeared into Lorelei's time portal. It was strange and awkward to explain, especially the part about the Master being an alternate-timeline version of Gestalt and how they had met Sheema and Summit. He felt as though he might be giving too much information, but after Sheema had expressed her displeasure with the group for keeping so many secrets. Besides, Simon wasn't around anymore to keep secrets.

It was strangely relieving to tell someone else about what had happened. Who knew how much of it she'd actually believe, though. Most of the world didn't even remember the Disappearance once they had fixed the timeline the first time. In fact, he wasn't sure if he'd have believed the story himself if he hadn't been involved in time travel already.
