Fenchurch blinked a few times, then looked around.
"That's odd," she thought. "The last thing I remember was being on that spaceship with Arthur, about to make a hyperspace jump."
She looked around again.
She seemed to be sitting on the floor in some sort of hut. She stood up, brushed herself off, then looked around again.
Something was bothering her; something was different. She couldn't quite tell what it was.
Well, the fact that she was here, and not in that spaceship, was rather odd, but not it.
The air was of a cleaner quality than she was used to, and it smelled of fresh baked bread. But that wasn't it.
There was some kind of thundering noise which sounded quite a ways off, and definitely deserved further exploration, but that also wasn't it.
She just couldn't quite put her finger on it.
Then it hit her. Or, I guess you could say she hit it. The ground, that is. She was touching it. She could actually feel the floor beneath her feet. The realization knocked her over, and when she hit the ground, it hit her back for the first time.
Somehow, whatever had been wrong with her, was fixed.
'This is going to take some getting used to' she thought, getting back up. She decided to go check out the thundering noise, partially to give her feet a chance to adjust to the ground, and partially because it was starting to give her a headache.
