"That blue light sent me to another place in the universe, and that place was several light-years away from Earth."
Leo continued, though Jason was the one who had told him about the distance.
However, hardly anyone traveled slowly through space. They either had exceptional teleportation methods or traveled directly through Space Warp points.
"Several light-years? Are you kidding me?"
Jenny might not have had any concept of that distance, but George understood it perfectly.
