Chapter 1
The Accident
A Bullet. That's all it took. It was you against him. Him, being Sterling: the mad scientist who posed a threat to all the Apex, and whatever remained of the Human/Novakid alliance. A voice rang out into your mind. You forgot about the neural headset.
"Just shoot already!"
You grumble back into the neural headset, "Hold on Jennelle, I need to find his blind spot." You finger the trigger of your revolver. Good 'ol Kablammity Jane. Sometimes she missed, but it was mostly you and your shaky hands. You watch him carefully for the slim chance he might look away. Unfortunately, he doesn't. He fingers his gun, and you point the barrel of Jane at his chest. He lets out a squeak, and drops his gun in surprise. "What a softie." you think, and shake your head. You turn around, and walk towards the door. Maybe the data was incorrect, and Sterling was neither mad, nor guilty. You hear a sickening click. You turn around, only to find Sterling pointing his shotgun to your head. You take the hat off of your head, revealing your long, pink hair. it flows down your back, and bounces at your hips. You brush the hat off, blowing a few hairs and dust into the air. You sneeze. Sterling does not take his eyes off of you. He nods his head and says, "Bless you." You mutter, "Thanks." Sterling loads a round into his shotgun, and he pauses. you expect him to make some clever remark like he always does. He smiles and says, "Lights out, Blinky." And unloads the round into your head. You wake up in your ship, inside your regenerator chamber, and you mutter, "My name's not Blinky." You open the glass door, and step onto your ship. You flip a switch, and a laser fires from the port-side guns, blasting Sterling and his lab to smithereens. You flop into your chair, dust off your pants, and cross your arms. "Another job well done. Well, more or less." You are alerted to a noise in your cabin, just behind you. Your holophone is ringing. You turn it on and say, "Who is this?" A voice replies, "You know who it is, you gasbag." You turn your chair, and look at the screen of the holophone, only to see Jennelle, your human partner-in-crime staring back at you. She says, "C'mon Clara, we got to head to Romeo Delta IV to pick up our Hylotl contact to close this contract. I am already there, just waiting on you." You sigh. You really don't want to go to the Romeo Delta system. Quite shady, that place. You kick the Erchius fuel depository hatch, causing some Erchius Fuel to fall into the FTL engine, starting your ship. You Select the Romeo Delta system, and hit the big red 'GO' button. Man when Jennelle made your ship, she made sure to dumb it down a few levels. You wish it was a little more complicated. Your vast intelligence would care not to be wasted on such a ship like this. As your ship makes the jump into FTL speed, you head to the kitchen. Your stomach growls. You open the fridge, find a stalk of wheat, and some raw meat, and start making some Meat Dumplings at the Kitchen Counter. When the dumplings are done, your snugget, Toby, came bounding in. He chirps. You pat his head, and tell him no. You know the dumplings will make him sick, and you put one in your mouth, and sit down. You enjoy the FTL speed. Makes you feel godlike. Like all those planets zooming past are yours. Your ship drops out of FTL speed, and comes to a stop above the urban planet Romeo Delta IV. You grab your jacket, and head over to the Teleporter. Something doesn't seem right to you though. You look over the machine, scanning it for any problems. You spot that the Atom Transporter Module is not functioning the way it should, so you go and grab a screwdriver. Time to get old school. You think back to the superior way that little humans used to fix things in the late 1900's. you return to the Teleporter, and begin to bang on the Atom Transporter Module with the screwdriver you found. Amidst your banging, you fail to notice the teleporter powering up. A pink light surrounds you, and you double over from the increased gravity caused by the teleporter attempting to move you. A flash envelops your teleporter, and then darkness. Your ship is dead. Jennelle doesn't know, and you are 1000 parsecs away, on Earth, 2016. Over 450 years ago.

It was a beautiful day for Temmie Wycoff, and she knew it. The sun was shining down of the Lower East Side of Manhattan, the flowers were blooming, and on days like these, teenagers like her, should be enjoying the day. And she was! She had a full day of things to do planned, she was going to go shopping for new clothes, and maybe hit the M&M's store on the way back to the hotel room she had rented. Her whole day was changed when somebody screamed.
