Mura — Steve Elliott

One day, Kar, Ama and Zea come across a very strange person, named Mura, who appears to be undeniably insane. She claims to be able to foresee the Future and to possess the ability to travel between dimensions. Kar and Ama are skeptical, and Zea is blatantly disbelieving, but Mura eventually convinces them by displaying an impossible knowledge of the details of their lives. Zea remains somewhat incredulous, however, and refuses to accept Mura's statements of her abilities. She also becomes startled to discover that Mura may have hidden feelings for her. Mura settles all doubts by transporting everyone to another world although, at first, it appears that nothing has happened, because the new world is very similar to the old one. But differences are soon discovered, convincing everyone that Mura has, indeed, fulfilled her promise. Following a brief episode of seeming insanity, Mura maintains that there's a major catastrophe about to happen and, by the use of her abilities, she persuades the local Administrator to co-operate with her plans to disrupt the oncoming disaster.During their mission of prevention, Ama is nearly killed and Kar takes an extraordinary, and extremely dangerous, series of steps to save her. An added ambiguity, one that very likely initiated the disaster, is discovered in the shape of an impossible object and this leads to involved speculations as to what it all means. To investigate further, Mura, Ama, Kar and Zea agree to remain on this new world to see what they can discover of this latest mystery.
