Tina: “what happened, did you found out something?”

Louise: “yes…, don’t worry I’ll do my part…, you won’t have more nightmares… I promise I’ll send you both together to the battlefield”

Louise left the lab and asked for an urgent meeting with Melvin, Angus, Sharon, Kit, and Giles. Louise explained her experience traveling in Tina’s dreams and her meeting with older Tina and older Bette and the paradox involving the alternative reality.

Melvin: “well, that is coherent with the message we already received from the world of the dead and with our own dreams”

Sharon: “it looks like the worse will happen…, what could we do?”

Angus: “we have to avoid at all cost that Bette touch any unknown object”

Kit: “yes, we should avoid it even with our own lives”

Louise: “well, as the future versions of them told me, it’s not as bad as if Glory survives and trick all of us…, and here is when we need your help, Giles, we need to warn everybody about Glory, which means that we need her exact description, a virtual picture”

Giles: “of course I could give you a description, but Willow and Buffy could do the same, why me?”

Louise: “you killed her…, you could see her transformation and you know about her more than anybody…, we can take images of your sensations and description, we have the tools”

Giles: “well…, I’m at your disposition”

Somewhere in between space and time – probably 5 pm. Friday, February 14, 2059- Lab in the wormhole.

Giles’ images about Glory and her human alter ego Ben Wilkinson have been scanned, holo-graphed and reproduced in the way that everybody is now familiar with it and the order is to attack her as soon as she shows up. The smart probes have been cornering First Evil’s forces and his response has been quenched. Today is also Valentine’s Day and there is a big reception at the dining room in the cabin.

Few members of the supporting team are on the shift in the lab, checking on the probes and the activity at the entrance of the Hellmouth. Most of the Scoobies and their allies are present in the dining room. Buffy is eating with Faith and Willow in a table when Angel and Spike show with presents for the leader slayer.
