Billy in the Great Mother Ship

(Following Semjase's instructions, I promptly sit down in the extremely comfortable chair inside one of the three cabins. As soon as I am seated, a peculiar helmet moves over my head and settles down silently. It is so large, that it encompasses my whole head, only leaving my face open, so that I can see out from it and watch everything. But the helmet does not touch my head; rather lying equally close all around and staying about a centimeter and a half away from my skull, as I can feel when I place a forefinger between the helmet and my head. Now I am tense and expectant, for I wonder what is going to happen. Ptaah and Semjase manipulate the console, and now I can again see how the fantastic starry sky is changing. The initially calmly passing by constellations are again transformed into strokes and after a few seconds begin to blur. And in the next moment they are no more than a whitish milky mass, a shimmering mass, like I have experienced in all previous hyper-leaps.
