This missionary was sent to a dimension that is like Africa only more dangerous.
One person that inspired so many to become missionaries to both serve God and have an adventure was David Livingston. Such a person was Muran Jongfane. He graduated from the seminary in 1877 and was shifted to a dimension where much of the world was like Africa. There were thick jungles and huge savannas where wild animals roamed and many areas that had no contact with others. The people thought they were the only people in the world.
Muran brought a biosyn and four other synthetics that would help them along with a couple synthetic pack animals that would carry the supplies and some of the weapons. The reactor was small enough to be carried by an animal the size of a donkey and the food and beverage replicator and materials replicator were carried on the backs of two of the synthetics. At least with anti-gravity assist, the packs weren’t so heavy. The portable compound was carried by a third synthetic and the area force field was carried by the fourth.
The group shifted to the townof Norgan Foster which was controlled by an imperial magistrate and a small detachment of soldiers. Muran met with the magistrate in the government house in the center of the town. It was the largest building in town and one of only a few buildings that had electricity. It was like a colonial building toward the start of WW I. The natives shunned it unless they worked for the magistrate and his family who lived on the third floor of the building. The other two floors were for government and military business mainly with a large room on the main floor for banquets and formal meetings.
Muran climbed the wide stairway up to the second floor where the magistrate’s office was located. Fans slowly spun on the ceiling moving the air and lowering the temperature from oppressive to uncomfortable. He passed by mainly officials and soldiers who acted almost as if he didn’t exist.
At the top of the stairs there was a landing that was like a balcony overlooking the first floor. Muran followed the signs to the magistrate’s office around the landing to the left. The last room was the outer office for the man. Muran entered and saw a white woman sitting at a desk reading a magazine that had come all the way from Lurda which was the capitol of the Lurdan Empire.
