Tragic. Was that the sum total of Daniel's life and death? One word? Tragic? Jack thought back to that October afternoon, when Daniel and he did what they did every Sunday: bicycle around the ring of the old, abandoned Superconducting Supercollider. Well, it certainly wasn't abandoned anymore. The explosion in the ring that had killed his friend led the scientists to discover another universe, one in which the SSC was operating and leaking antimatter into this universe. Suddenly, the two different SSC experiments had become hotbeds of activity, in both particle physics and the attempt to build stable Gates to other universes. Particle physics had made great strides, but to date, no other universes had been found. And it had all started because of the death of Jack's best friend, Daniel Strock. "Doctor," Jack said slowly, "it's because of my friend that I wanted to see you." She nodded. "Please continue. I don't have all day." Her brusqueness was in great contrast to the politeness Jack had experienced from the other scientists two years ago. Well, if she could be direct, so could he. "I need to use the Gate."
