Ether Ore: H.C. Turk

Melody wanted more than anything to be on Marz - but when she got there, there wasn't much to do except dig for ether ore. The only interesting place was the top-secret laboratory where the essence of pure idea was refined. She got her pert little nose too close to the idea-essence and literally faded away. She became a ghost, only to arrive stark naked on a new and different Marz, where primitive farmers greeted her as a witch and gleefully made preparations for burning her at the stake - and then things got complicated!
