A/N: I wasn't going to do this. I promised myself that I wouldn't…and yet here I am…doing this yet again. I've had this story stuck in my head for a long time, but didn't think it fit since I read spoilers from the second movie, "Continuum." But once again, my muse won out. So here is my take on what could, or should, happen in "Continuum." WARNING: I'm only sticking to the earliest of spoilers, the ones about Ba'al changing the timeline…any recent ones don't exist in my little world. ENJOY!

Prologue –

Something was wrong, terribly wrong. It didn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out. Granted, she'd always been brilliant, but there were no extra letters after her name, so technically (in the eyes of the world, at least) she was no rocket scientist. But right now that didn't matter. What mattered was that everything was wrong. As she stood outside the fence, she stared at what should have been a bustling military base, but instead was eerily silent.

There were no guards at the gate, just a big sign that warned trespassers to stay off federal property. Turning around suddenly, she ran into the patch of trees that she had exited only a short time before. Dodging here and there, she pulled a keyless entry remote out of her pocket and dashed into her vehicle. Sitting down, she immediately started it and began scanning the area with the devices she had with her. Nothing.

Increasing the power and distance on the scanner, she swept the area once again, reaching into the deepest areas of the retired base. Again, nothing.

"Damn." She hissed.

Glancing over her shoulder, into the back of the vehicle, she stared for a long moment at the large device that took up much of the space. She knew what it was and what it was capable of, but after the stories she'd heard of the last time it was used, she wasn't keen on using it again. But she, of all people, knew that something had happened.

Suddenly it hit her, she might be the only one who knew that something had gone terribly wrong. After all, 5,000 years was a long time, anything could happen. She cursed again silently as she turned forward again and headed out of her hiding place. Stopping in an ideal location she once again set her scanner, only this time over a wider area and for a very specific signature. The signature showed up twice, the first she expected, the second surprised her. Of all places, the signatures were showing up at opposite ends of the earth.

Heading toward the second, and unexpected signature, she dialed into her onboard computer, entering the Air Force database remotely. She had to figure out what had happened to the team she had heard so much about. Of course, she expected that, if everything had changed as she thought it had, one of them would not be on Earth much less in the USAF database. When the login screen came up, she typed in her username and password:

Alexa Stephens, 1st Lieutenant, USAF

Password: Moebius

What her searches revealed greatly disturbed her.
