Chapter 1 - Who said gaming is a waste of time?
"Why is there NEVER anything on TV?" Lt asked her mum leaning over to grab her drink.
"all depends on what you like doesn't it Hun, why don't you go out" Her mum replied flicking through the channels.
"it's been over a month. what is Cell playing at!?" Lt shouted standing up and walking in to the kitchen.
Lt's mum sensing her uneasiness follows her into the kitchen. She sees Lt near the fridge.
"The hunger pangs are back aren't they?" Lts mum asked with a sympathetic look.
Lt looked at her mum, as much as she didn't want to admit it her need was returning and she didn't like it. being what she was made everything 100 times more stronger be that Hunger, strength, speed and even sex drive which anyone can imagine is difficult.
"I'm fine mum, it's not so bad at the moment that's why i am wondering why Cell has been in touch. she knows how I get she has always got some assignment to keep me on the straight and narrow so to speak" Lt winked giving in to the urge to eat she grabs a whole chicken and sits down with it.
"You want me to cook that?" lts mum questions raising a eyebrow
A few moments of silence and exchanging looks lts mum realises her daughter does not care or need the chicken to be cooked.
"I'll leave you two alone" her mum says as she walks back in to the front room.
Ly starts eating the whole chicken and it doesn't take her long to finish it she puts the remains of the bird in the bin and heads up stairs to bed.
"Lt!? Lt!? Help me please! I need you!" the voice shouted
"I'm coming Jen just hold on!" replied Lt running through the all to familiar blood red fields. she gets to an opening where a girl lay lifeless on the floor.
"Jen? wake up Jen please. I'm sorry it's my fault" Lt cries when she senses something or someone behind her.
A man with no face stands motionless as Lt turns around still cradling the dead girl.
"You again! what do you want from me..?" Screams Lt.
"Abruptionis Erit Qui Claudat" the man replied.
"NO!" Lt shouts sitting up in her bed.
"Are you okay Lt!?" asks her mum shouting up the stairs
"I'm fine just a dream" Lt replied, she has been getting the same dream lately but this time was different she has not seen the man with no face since the night she met Cell. something was not right and she knew that she would find out what very soon.
Lt composes herself and lays back down as she does she sees a light coming from her side table her phone was buzzing. she quickly leans over and answers it.
"Lt. we have a problem" The voice says
"Cell? Do you know what time it is" Questioned Lt even though she was rather happy Cell had rung her.
"You need to come with me now." Explained Cell
"The last time you said that i found myself travelling to America, You want to tell me what's happening!? where are you anyway!?" Shouts Lt getting up and starts to pace around her room.
"Lt!?" shouts her mum "There's someone at the door for you!"
Lt stopped for a second and then makes her way downstairs only to find that the someone her mum was referring to was in fact Cell.
"If you are here in person then the shit must have hit the fan big time" lt stated folding her arms and looking at women dressed in all black.
"Lt.. i need you to come with me. there is something that i need you to do and you're not going to believe me when i tell you what it is." Explained Cell gesturing the door.
"when i first met you i became a Werewolf and vampire combined surprisingly i believe quite a bit more than i used to." Replied Lt she turns to her mum an gives her a hug "I have to go and do something im not to sure what is but i will see you soon mum".
Her mum returns the hug with a worried expression on her face "Be safe please".
"I will" replies Lt giving her mum a final wave as leaves her house and gets in to the jet black car.
"Lt, this is Professor Michel Lansford he is a.."
"Scientist?" Lt blurts out cutting off Cell. "I kind of gathered with whole lab coat and glasses thing he's got going on".
"Yes..well..nice to meet you Miss Tanner your reputation proceeds you I am as Miss kin said Professor Michel Lansford the head researcher at a facility in Holland. We are a small group that look at many different theories regarding your "Species" and various other matters in the universe" stammered the professor looking quite uncomfortable for some reason.
"You nervous doc? " teased Lt with a confident smirk on her face.
"I promise you Professor, Her bark is worse than her bite" Assured Cell with a look at Lt that knocked her of her metaphorical high horse. then gestured to carry on.
"I see, right. well i am leading a project at the moment that involves the theory of the Multi-universe or Parallel universe if you please. I have come up with a theory that when something is written or created a parallel universe is made." claims the professor looking rather happy with himself
"Care to explain. I don't speak scientist. i skipped that class at school." Chuckled Lt
"In lamens terms if something is written like a book or a film is produced alternate realities are created. I am not sure on how this occurs as of yet but I and my team have created a Multi-verse jumper able to move to other worlds.. or so I believe to work.i call it the Quantum Mechanic Travel Device or QMTD for shot" announces the professor.
"Yes and you are very clever to do so professor" exclaimed Cell giving if a confirming nod
"That's great really...how do I fit in to all this universe jumping?" Added Lt feeling rather confused about the whole discussion
Both the professor and Cell look at each other and then back at Lt.
"This is where you come in Lt. From what i heard this process of Universe jumping is not easy in fact the reason it has been deemed in many cases to impossible is due the cell reconfiguring that your body goes through in order to travel to different realities, Being a Lycan and Vampire combined makes you cells regenerate at rate far more quicker than any human being could ever wish to be able to do hence why you don't die when you are shot or stabbed...or fall of a building on to a fence impaling yourself.."
"That happened ONE time" muttered Lt sloughing back in to the car seat
"What Miss Kin is saying is that your body could with stand the configuring without dying and therefore you and ideal Speci..Candidate for this er..Assignment" the professor added.
"So I'm your test subject? why do you want me to go in to a different reality anyway?" questioned Lt getting rather tired of everyone beating around the bush.
"Lt. A few of the professors scientists turned rogue and teamed up with once of the Lycan groups we have Intel that they made the jump with.." Cell pauses as if the next word is a dagger in her throat. "Obitus".
Lt stopped in her tracks life someone has just stabbed her in the gut.
"Obitus...I..are you sure? muttered Lt putting her hands on her face.
"We are sure. there is footage in the lab CCTV he makes the jump with over 10 members of his clan including Dolor and..Nox" added Cell
"What ever you want me to do i'm in." Assured Lt trying to contain her anger
"I know this must be difficult for you.." continued Cell "But you are the only person who i trust who can do this.."
Lt knew no matter what she had to do she wasn't going to let Obitus or Nox get away with what ever they had planned.
the car became silent as they were driven to their destination of which to Lt was still unknown but she did not care she just sat there staring in to space wondering what sort of worlds were out there.
"hold on.." Lt chimed breaking the awkward silence " You said when a book or film is made another reality is created..so which reality am going in to?"
"See this is where you won't believe me Lt..Your going in to something you are very knowledgeable in...Mass Effect." Stated Cell waiting for the explosion of Lts sarcastic and witty one liners to come in.
"what. Like Reaper invasion commander shepherd Mass Effect?" joked Lt
"This isn't a Joke, That's where they have gone. we think they have read in to some sort of prophecy regarding another world and your...well demise." added The Proffessor
"A prophecy about my death? that does not go in my favour does" Smirked Lt
"This is not a game Lt...you must listen this is serious..."
"Wait a minute..before you came to my house i had a dream...the man with no face was there again..the dream was about Jen..before i woke he said something..i think he said abruptionis erit qui clauda or something a long those lines..do you know what means?" inquired Lt feeling a little uneasy after hearing her death may be set in stone.
"Well...that's Latin i do believe i studied that at school...it means...The Rift will close i think" Answered the professor
"The Rift will close what does that even mean?"
"I'm not too sure but it must have do with what's going on.." Cell interjected.
The journey grew silent as the car made it's way to god knows where.
"We have arrived Ma'am" announced the driver who Lt did not recognise at all. they must have recruited more people in to the organisation.
the three exited the car and made there way up the stairs to what Lt could only see as an Derelict building of sorts near the quay. it was dark and the corridor was long. Lt couldn't help but regret her keen sense of smell as she passed what looked like a barrel of fish guts from what was probably from the fishers who were there that day. They made their way down the long corridor and stopped at big ordinary looking door.
"what are we waiting for?" asked Lt growing quite impatient
The professor gestured at the light switch socket which was broken. He twisted it round to reveal a finger print sensor and proceeded to place his finger on the device. There was a bit of beeping and other noises and then the door opened to reveal a very big and very clean looking laboratory with many workers doing different experiments. They walk through the lab bypassing many different security clearances and passwords to get to other rooms. Then they reached the last room which has another 6 or 7 lab technicians in it and a big human sized test tube with wires and tubes coming out of it.
"I'm guessing that's my ride?" stated Lt feeling overwhelmed she didn't no quite a place existed around where she lived.
"Well yes so to speak there is a few counter measures we have to think about first there's..."the professor continued
Lt stopped listening to the professor quite a while ago she just nodded a long every so often to keep up appearances. They proceeded to poke and prod her with various lab instruments to check her heart rate, blood pressure and over all state of health which all tests were good which Lt knew would be the case. they then instructed her to get in the human sized test tube which she did reluctantly and pressed a button to shut the tube preventing Lt of leaving, the glass made a wooshing sound like the doors in those Sci-fi films she used to watch.
"Right Lt..if this is successful we have in planted in your arm a device which will let us communicate with you via any electrical device you encounter during your mission." explained Cell. "I did research on your game before hand and I know you will not run out of electrical equipment as it is set in the near future..we have found that they hacked in to your Playstation 3 to gather your saved data we think they would have found a way getting to you when you were at your most vulnerable. this means that you will be joining the reality at the point of which wherever you got to on your latest saved game."
"So i'm going to actually meet Shepard and her team?..i can't exactly just walk up to her and say HEY! i'm from an alternate reality can i just chill with you for a bit!? " Shouted Lt
"We have inserted data files of your Alias in to the alternate realities computer network...which was very difficult to do...You have efficient qualifications to join the ranks on the ship Normandy i do believe it was called..you also have been put on the Dossier of who Shepard is supposed to get for someone called "The Illusive Man". I must stress to you the importance that you don't change the course of what is meant to happen in the game...like history things happen for a reason if you were to disrupt something the whole of the universe could destruct which also means you can't reveal your identity. i don't know exactly where you will be put in the world of Mass Effect but we have made sure you are close to the target called Shepard. " Assured the professor to final touch ups to the machine before stepping back and pressing a few buttons.
"Right so how do i find out where Obitus or Nox are?" Lt questioned straightning up in the tube feeling a little hot.
"They have most likely allianced themselves with someone against the protaginist of the story knowing full well who's side you would be on and.." Cell was cut short to someone on her ear piece talking
"Ma'am We are under attack i repeat we are under ARrgh" the message cut short only to a high pitched frequency
"Professor! carry on i need to go sort this out" Orders Cell pulling out her gun and walking out the room with a few of the security gaurds following after her.
"But i still need to do a few more tests...but um...okay" the professor mutters to himself while pressing a load more buttons and initiating the machine.
The noise was so loud Lt could not think straight she felt every bone in her body ache, her skin did not feel hers and her mind was not there anymore.
"Doc is this gonna hurt?" Lt cried out
"Well...I do hope so" Replied the professor. his demeanour had changed , in that split second he was not a bumberling idiot Lt saw before he was calm and collected and had an evil smirk on his face. "Now goodbye Miss Tanner...I will take good care of your friend Miss Kin...Have a fun trip".
Before Lt could break through the glass her body grew tight and convulsed. The pain was excruciating, No wonder a normal human being could not handle this. It was like every cell in her body was being rip apart one by one and all at the same time. Those moments felt like an eternity the world grew dark as the pain took over Lts body and she finally felt the sweet release and passed out.
"Jen...I'm sorry...I failed you."
