"Now who's going to pay for this?" She demanded, "Don't you know that even in space, the most holy rule of all is 'you broke it, you bought it?'"

But she did not even finish speaking when the cracks filled the entire plane in front of Mr Collins and it burst with a giant crash. Babbage laughed.

"It appears we have ran into a magical-mocking-mirror," He explained, "It reflects whatever is on the other side in a particularly grotesque manner."

Mr Collins looked at a shard drifting off into space, reflecting the earth off in the distance. But, to his absolute horror, the reflection was completely accurate...
