He woke up…
Stretching David Vermillion gazed out of the window of his apartment in a massive city on the planet of Maldevoir. David could feel it, today was the day… the day he would take control of his life, his destiny and a monumental machine. It was the sphere…
The universe he was in was a temporary home, this wasn't even the universe David was from, but by a slim chance had actually survived the trip through an artificial worm-hole. He had survived on this remote outer-rim planet until this solar system's sphere was built. It had been a good 4 months. He needed the sphere to travel to the universe he longed to live in... It was a marvelous plan, but if the insurgency or the foundation were able to follow him…. The consequences could be awful. Also the sphere had a price to pay to use it in such a manner.
David had to steal and completely redesign the sphere. In this universe they were being built in large numbers on a galactic scale to combat a phenomenon known as the shadow effect. The shadow took all forms of matter and destabilized it, destroying all substance. It was spreading fast thanks to an evil emperor known as Enro, but Enro was dead and a man known as Gilbert Gosseyn had taken the throne. Gilbert was part of a group of people who acted using a system called Null-A. David had had some partial null-A training. It was powerful knowledge.
The sphere had to be tampered with, the computer giving orders was tricked and instead followed David's designs. And now the modified sphere was complete. Stretching David got up, got dressed and pack his things, which were a few photos, some clothes and two suitcases full of his secret documents and blueprints for this universes super technological breakthrough. He when to the lobby of the hotel and left his key and the money he owed.
The sphere was not small, no it reminded one of the death star from star wars except it had no massive gun for destroying planets. It was one of many thousands spread throughout the galaxy. As he walked down the steel sidewalk of the city, he wondered witch universe he would visit. He would not go back to his native universe, no…he couldn't. Looking up at the sky it was a red veil, the stars were just barely visible even in broad daylight. It was about 10:00 AM. David decided to biologically distort himself onto the sphere. Something few people in this universe could do, literally I could represents them with a few fingers. It was devoid of any life because it was made to be a large autonomous hulk, and supposedly it had just started operation. Although the interior for people to walk through was done with a barebones Spartan style. Serviceable but comfortable. Walking to the custom living quarters, he sat himself down in the 'pilot' seat. David had a rather large house like interior built into the sphere so he could live there. Firing up the mega distortion computer and engines David relaxed and decided to manually punch in the coordinates, or more appropriately the frequency, for the universe he had chosen. Finally the jump was ready and he knew where he wanted to go… The computer began a countdown:
5….4….3….2….1….*FLASH*
In an instant he felt a difference between realities. A computer voice spoke up, if it could be called computer at all: "Destination reached energy and space levels match that given."
"Finally! It worked my many years of suffering were not in vain!" He yelled, his voice echoing throughout the hulk of the sphere.
"Distance from storyline pinnacle?" he questioned
"Distance is that of Pluto, 48 Astronomical Units." Answered the computer.
"Perfect, prepare a shuttle for manual transport to storyline pinnacle have it land here" he said pointing at its predicted map.
"Shuttle prepared, board at will." It replied. Preparing himself, David grabbed his supplies and strapped into the shuttle's cockpit. He shut down the sphere and put it into cold standby. Then the shuttle launched.
