After two days of variously boring meetings and plan-making sessions with high mucketymucks of the Golden Coven, Elspeth finds Milliways in a bathroom in the wolf village when she's trying to refill her water glass during Quil's daughter's third birthday party. It is mercifully not the house's only bathroom.
Hey, Libby, Bella! Orfeo, Elena! Here it is, in the house with all the partying going on! Ready to go? she says, herding the birthday girl away from the entrance.

"Nope," she says. "If I can get away without ever giving orders, I will."

"Then I don't care. Never expected to be an alpha, do not secretly yearn for the job."

Elena has mixed feelings, apparently. "How old are you?" she wants to know suddenly. "No one naturally activates after they're 25. I don't know what that'll do."

"Mary gave us the all-clear, so if we do this, it will work," says Libby. "Unexpected things might happen, but they won't be bad ones."

Well, that preemptively shoots down anything else Elena might have objected to.
"You'll wanna do this in a large, private space. This isn't really big enough. A lot of people want to run around the first time they phase," Orfeo recommends.

"Does it matter if this large, private space is indoors?" wonders Libby.

"Mars is a much better bet than anything I've got on Earth," Libby acknowledges. "Okay. Field trip to Mars, anybody?"

"Great."
Out of courtesy, she brainphones Bella. [I'm bringing Chris to Mars to make her a werewolf; do you mind?]

[That's an interesting solution. Do it out in the open, not Olympus proper, please.]

[Sure,] she says agreeably.
Out loud: "All right, let's go for a walk."

"The Empress of the Stars has a palace on the moon," Libby explains. "And there are a bunch of magic doors going to and from it, including one to Mars and one to New York. So if we want to get to Mars without wasting coins on teleportation, that's the fastest way."

"Because Mars has air everywhere, and the moon doesn't, and I'm sure Bella put safety features in so people can't accidentally run into vacuum but I don't particularly want to stress-test them with my aunt."

Off they go, then.
The magic door to Moonstone Palace is just down the hall. Libby has to herd everyone through, because she's the only one who can see through it, but they all make it.
It's a very pretty palace.
She gives them a moment to gawk before leading them on to Mars.

"Would it have been a good idea to bring a change of clothes for Chris?" Orfeo wonders aloud as they go through door number two.
