The intellect slowly built a map of the kaleidoscopic space and recorded everything it could. Internal gyroscopes, now calibrated to eleven-dimensional space-time, detected a slow drift. The intellect was drifting along a low-energy path. Based on the map it was constructing, this path would eventually cross the entirety of this higher-dimensional space all the way to the other mouth of the paired wormholes. In eleven years, the intellect would emerge eleven years in the past.
