Definitely Russian, El thinks numbly as she takes in what the young man says. Or somewhere in the former USSR. She’s never paid that much attention to mundane history and politics, given her mother’s dislike of television and the need to focus on magical issues to, you know, stay alive. The US and Russia collaborate on space stuff, don’t they?
Not that it matters, because the real question is: how did the gate go SO WRONG? It was one thing for it to send her to Orion’s place, given he’s the one who shoved her through; there’s no rational explanation she can think of for the gate to send her to outer space. Or maybe there is? Her specialty is magic of mass destruction, not transportation.
A dawning horror creeps over her as she registers the lack of magical energy around her. Even if she did know anything about transportation magic, it wouldn’t do her any good, because the young man is clearly mundane. She won’t be able to do any kind of magic around people who don’t believe it’s real.
She doesn’t notice her legs giving out or her world going black as she passes out.
