Chapter 2:
June 13, 3015 (1 year earlier)
Alex was walking towards a big building, it had around 300 floors. Flying cars passed all over him, in many directions. The building had the letters ?T.I.M.E.? written on it really big, readable from anywhere in the city. Bellow it, it said ?Time Institute of Mercenaries Enforcement? in smaller letters yet really readable. The letters looked like they were hollographicaly written, they were written in a red-bluish color.
It looked like there was a lot of activity inside the building. As soon as Alex opened the building?s door an AI female voice said ?Good morning Mr. Maverik.? ?Good morning (A.I. female name here), any messages for me?? said Alex gently. ?Yes sir, Mr. Lawrence wants to see you immediately? said (A.I. Female name here). ?Alright thank you very much? said Alex Maverik. ?No problem sir, have a good day? said (A.I. female name here). ?What will Mr. Lawrence possibly want me for?? whispered Alex in a wondering tone.
He went into the elevators and marked the numbers ?111?, which was the floor for his corresponding office. The elevator got there in a flash, as if it was instantly teleporting. The elevator doors opened and lot of action and people working could be seen. People walking around, people in computers, people talking to each other about certain jobs, etc. It was pretty full for only one floor. Alex walked, silently looking at everyone, towards his office. It was in the middle of a big room surrounded by over 50 more offices, which were actually only tables, and they all had their own computer. The computer?s monitor was holographic. It had two tubes, one on each side, and the image of the screen was reflected between the tubes. You could move the tubes farther from each other to make the screen bigger, or closer to each other to make it smaller. Though it seemed like it had no keyboard and no CPU. He then pressed a button which made the keyboard appear in a holographic way but it was an actual and normal material. The CPU was inside the two tubes that created the screen.
Alex turned on the screen and the holographic monitor appeared between the tubes. He noticed that he had a message and subject was ?Important! New Project? from [email protected] . He was nervous about this, almost never someone sent him such an important message so early on the morning. ?Oh well lets get it over with already then? Alex said to himself.
Alex stand up and walked to the right of his desk, he passed beside 3 desk, on one of them was an attractive women and in the desk it said ?Michele Decker?. She stared at him and said ?Good morning Alex? ?Hey Michele, I really can?t chat right now had an important message on my desk so I will talk to you later? said Alex in a little hurry. ?Alright then, see ya later and good luck? said Michele ?Thanks,? said Alex ?I will need it? he said whispering.
He entered Mr.Lawrence office. Mr.Lawrence was writing something on his computer which he closed fast enough so Alex couldn?t get a glance of it. ?Did you want to see me sir?? asked Alex politely. ?Indeed, Mr. Maverik,? said Mr.Lawrence ?I want to talk to you about my new project. I call it Project XT200. It is a weapon that will be mounted on your shoulder and for every kill you get with it, in any time that is not this one, you will become stronger.? ?Why would I need this?sir?? asked Alex confused. ?Well what if something goes wrong in the past and when you return it is all different and you can?t defend yourself?? said Mr.Lawrence ?You will need something like this.? ?Sir, there is no risk that our present will change to worse from our travels to the past.? Said Alex in a critic way ?Every mission is well measured and analyzed before it is realized.? ?Well Mr. Maverik, we are humans we can commit errors in any given moment.? Said Mr.Lawrence as if he knew something. ?What exactly do you mean, sir?? asked Alex puzzled. ?What I mean is, that what if during the analysis something occurs and you let something happen that in our present it will be worse for humanity?? Mr.Lawrence said. ?I really don?t know why you bring this up, but I am afraid I will need to refuse your project? said Alex. ?Fine, do as you will. You will definitely regret it. Now leave my office.? Said Mr.Lawrence shouting. ?Yes sir.? Said Alex puzzled.
Alex walked out of the office as fast as he could, Michele looked at him. She stand up and said ?What happened in there? Everyone heard him shouting? ?Nothing, this guy seems really weird, I say we shall keep an eye on him.? Said Alex. ?Why you say that?? asked Michele scared ?Just trust me, there is nothing to be scared off though, he is a simple guy and we are a big company. He can?t harm us.? Alex said confidently. ?Whatever you say Alex, whatever you say? said Michele without believing Alex?s story.
He sat on his desk, he thought on what just happened inside Mr.Lawrence. ?I think this guy knows something I don?t. He is planning something and I don?t like it?at all? he whispered to himself. ?I wonder what he is planning, this guy has always hated me since I joined this institute.? One hour later a message poped up on his computer screen. It said ?Mr. Maverik, please go to the mission?s room. We have an important mission for you and the crew. You are leading this one.? Alex was not surprise to receive such a message, he was usually the leader. Although, he has not lead the last 3 missions he has been to.
A lot of people stood from their desks. Apparently they were sent to the mission room as well. When Alex got there, there were around 20 people. Michele was between the crowd as well, ?hey there big boy? she said. ?Hey Michele,? said Alex looking around ?any idea who started this mission or what is it about?? ?No, no idea at all. I just got here as well.? Michele answered. ?I wonder if it was?? Alex said wondering. ?Who Alex? Who?? Michele asked desperate ?Never mind? said Alex. ?But?? Michele started but was interrupted by (A.I. Female name) ?Good morning everyone. Thanks for attending. This is one of the most important and risky missions you will have to do while working with us. As most of you remember a terrorist attack occurred at Sundrop City on November 9th 3011. For those of you who have not heard about this, it occurred on the 3 most active streets, where most flying cars fly at the same time. An MP bomb, bomb that turns off every electronic device around it, depending on its power it will reach bigger areas. This one covered the 3 streets up to the sky, so it surely got every car that was flying around it. The buildings, since they have the anti-gravity pods below them, as you all know this is used to prevent earthquakes from damaging the buildings. They fell to the ground getting destroyed and everyone inside the cars and buildings died. This happened around 3:45 PM but we don?t know when the bomb was placed nor where it was placed. So you need to look for it, kill the crew or man that did it, and return immediately. If you notice that you are close to the time when the bomb exploded, get back and you will try again, I am almost sure this won?t happen. You will be dropped in 15 minutes. Any questions?? ?Wouldn?t the MP bomb suppose to be in the second street, as in the middle one? Because if it was placed in street 1 or 3, as in the ones in the corners, then the MP bomb would have covered other streets. No?? Alex said as if it was suppose to be known already, especially from an AI. ?Good point indeed Mr. Maverik. You should check all streets just in case. Well, meeting is over, prepare yourselves from travel, dismiss.? Said (A.I. Female name)
