The investigator’s brain might now occupy the unusual computing device whereas the captive brain occupied the interrogator’s worm-like physique. Then, in one other interchange, the interrogator’s brain might jump throughout boundless area to the captive’s vacant and subconscious physique at the trans-galactic world—animating the alien tenement as most sensible it could actually, and exploring the alien international within the guise of 1 of its denizens. while performed with exploration, the adventurer may use the dice and its disc in attaining his return—and occasionally the captured brain will be restored competently to its personal distant international. now not regularly, although, have been the dominant race so sort. occasionally, while a most likely vital race able to area commute used to be came across, the worm-like folks may hire the dice to seize and annihilate minds via the thousand, and could extirpate the race for diplomatic reasons—using the exploring minds as brokers of destruction.

It used to be with this latter that Dr. Winters-Hall’s “translation” mainly dealt. whilst the dice struck the earth, he wrote, the ruling terrestrial species was once a big, cone-shaped race surpassing all others prior to or seeing that in mentality and achievements. This race was once so complicated that it had really despatched minds overseas in either area and time to discover the cosmos, consequently well-known anything of what had occurred whilst the dice fell from the sky and likely members had suffered psychological swap after staring at at it. figuring out that the replaced members represented invading minds, the race’s leaders had them destroyed—even on the rate of leaving the displaced minds exiled in alien area. that they had had adventure with even stranger transitions. whilst, via a psychological exploration of house and time, they shaped a coarse suggestion of what the dice was once, they rigorously concealed the object from mild and sight, and protected it as a threat. they didn't desire to wreck a specific thing so wealthy in later experimental probabilities. at times a few rash, unscrupulous adventurer may furtively achieve entry to it and pattern its perilous powers regardless of the results— yet all such instances have been came upon, and appropriately and vastly handled.
