Author's note:

I hope this FF will be successful than my previous two, which got deleted because I was too lazy tu update them.

Part 1

Scene 1

P.R.A.G. Finally finished.

Engineer smiled as he was looking at his creation, giant ring that's run by big machine (description is given "in a nutshell"). They both are, in turn, powered by Australium. No other element on Earth can satisfy the needs of this invention.

Eleven months. I hope that raise is going to occur as promised.

He pressed the button on the intercom on the wall near him.

"Ma'am? It's ready."

"Great", young female voice replied. "I'll notify the Administrator."

Scene 2

P.R.A.G.? The Administator wondered. I swear, if someone from Research and development team makes any more silly acronyms like this... First, it was A.C.E.R., then P.U.T.S. and now P.R.A.G. Seriously, those people are too creative for their own good.

"Excellent news, miss Paulings" she said to her young assistant. "Mobilize the P.U.T.S. and tell mister Conagher to activate the machine according the instruction given to him and then await future instructions."

"Yes, of course."

Miss Paulings nodded and left the room.

Scene 3

"I am to do WHAT?" Engineer asked. "But I am the one that knows how to operate this thing the best."

"Yes, but these are the Administator's explicit orders. You are to travel with the rest of P.U.T.S. They have one empty place and you'll fill it. You're our best engineer, therefore, you are the best choice for case if some unknown technology appears on the other side of the gate. Don't worry, you will be replaced by the skillful person."

"I hope so, miss, I hope so. I want to be able to return at one moment."

"Of course."

Engineer turned to the control panel of the P.R.A.G. and setting it up before saying:

"Everything seems to be alright." He looked at the rest of the squad. "I just hope we won't be killed at sight."
