Professor Albrecht Longenfang steps through the Great Cosmic Mirror to the Magick Earth, his mission to track down the alternate version of his lost love, Vulpina Vixen. He knows it's a one-way trip and a silly idea as Vulpina is currently with Tobias, the alternate version of Toby Thompson, but he has to try.

Finding Vulpina is easy. She is a disciple of High Priest Ruthan, at the Church of the Great Cosmic Mirror. Albrecht even gets the chance to tell her about the death of her Science Earth counterpart.

But then he gets into a fight with Tobias and is banished from the church. He finds himself back out on the street, unsure what to do next.

Then Millicent Jorgensen, meditating in front of a mirror, decides to cross over and join him. Unfortunately she has no way to return – save through the giant mirror at the church. Realising he has an obligation to look after his former student, Albrecht takes her back to the church.

But High Priest Ruthan and his disciples have tired of simply lurking in the shadows, hiding from the authorities while trying to recruit new followers. The time has come to act, to finally bring Magick and Science together. And Caroline "Karuna" Collins believes she has figured out the way.
