Soon, I was jittering and plunging my way through a great space battle, events moving far too quickly for me to make much sense of it. I had no idea where or when this was—I could not correlate these events with any historical record. Complicating the recovery was many hundreds of points of view, threading through and around the central events, chopping and intercutting—and a remarkably different perception of objective reality. As a Promethean, the Didact simply saw things differently.
	Clearly, a thousand years ago, when entering battle, the Didact had plugged into the full sensory experience of thousands of his warriors … something I could barely imagine and certainly not control.
