The party gets teleported onto a beautifully manicured lawn, topiary all around them, incredibly neat stone paths running everywhere. A smell of lavender hangs in the air, and everyone feels lighter and quite nice, if still weak. As they try to stand they notice there is much more curve to the earth than they are used to. They see many magnificent stone buildings, some with lots of columns, all walls painted a light orange with red highlights. The sky is a beautiful, filled with stars and nebulae in different colors, none of which they recognize from back home.

A woman in a white toga comes from the main building, when she gets close they see she wears a gold clasp engraved with a picture of a plain staff with one snake entwined. "Oh dear, you must be that famous beat combo, we weren’t expecting you for another week at least! Well, no worries, we have everything ready and we’ll take good care of you." She whistles and a number of people in the same outfit as her come and carry the parry into the building.

"Welcome to Sanatorium AlRe Transplanae," she says and smiles, "I am Eucaliptus, head of Patient Relations, we’ll get you to your rooms immediately and start your treatments." She walks over to the nearest of them, Izzy, "You must be Su Flogger, the singer?" She takes a white wristband from an assistant and puts it around Izzy’s wrist. Next she goes to Odrik, "Wilson Matter, multi-instrumentalist?" Another wristband. Boldrek is next; "Victor Amps, percussionist?" Wristband, and then to Zayn; "O.D. Teague, right? I must say, you look better than I expected from your file." He gets a wristband too. "I guess your fifth member, Tab Howoman, will be joining us later?" None of them decide to let the staff know they aren't who they think they are.

Everyone is then lead to a corridor with four cubicula, one for each of them. They are introduced to the three floor nurses; Rondus, Prontus, and Contus. "Doctor Habeuscorpus will be along later after you’ve had some time to rest," Eucaliptus tells them. The rooms are large and luxurious, each has a sitting area with couches and a table, and a desk, all made of citrus wood. On the table stands a large basket with many kinds of fruit. The bedroom itself holds a large bed, a saucer with five chocolates rests on the pillow. A bell-pull is present to summon one of the nurses.

Soon the doctor stops by and examines them, he prescribes individual treatments to each of them; Boldrek: lightly poached bear testes, Zayn: a cream made with pig lard and the rust from chariot wheels, Odrik: a fox's genitals tied to the forehead, Izzy: raw owl's eggs and fried canary. If they prefer something else then doctor Homeopatix could have a look at them. The first two days are spent resting and eating in their rooms, they are too weak to walk for more than a minute or two.
