Chapter 1

In space, a small space station, a deep salvage base had just located a small object floating through space.

Worker: Captain. We've picked up a partially mechanical suit floating through space.

Captain: Retrieve it. We can salvage it.

They brought in the object, finding it to be a child in a mechanical suit. They touched the helmet as it clicked back.

Worker: It's just a kid. No older than mine.

One of them noticed something on a computer screen.

Worker: Sir! You might want to take a look at this!

The captain looked at the screen.

Worker: Bio-readouts are all on the green. Holy shit. This kid's still alive!

Captain: There goes our salvage, guys.

A few days passed, and the child woke up in a hospital. He looked around at all the people working the gadgetry that kept him up. A man walked in and sat next to him.

Man: Hey there. My name is Carter Burke. I work for Weyland-Yutani.

Kid: My name is Phineas Flynn-Fletcher.

Burke: Nice to meet you. You might want to hear what I have to say.

Phineas: Yeah. Where am I? The last thing I remember was floating into space and dying.

Burke: We thought you were dead too. You drifted to a deep salvage base, and found you alive. The most frightening part was how long you were out there.

Phineas: How long was I out there?

Burke: Your record said 2014. That means you were out there for 257 years.

Phineas: What?

Burke: Honestly, I'm amazed you are still even alive, and that you haven't aged. If the deep salvage team hadn't found you, who knows how much longer you'd be floating out there.

Phineas: This isn't happening.

Burke: We also received the message regarding the Ishimura, and the artifact. We did as instructed and destroyed it.

Phineas: Good.

Burke: The company I work for would like a meeting with you regarding the Ishimura.

Phineas: I'll be there soon.
