A warrior in blue space marine armor falls though a time warp. "what the f-k." he said as he hit his head on the pavement in the middle of the street in Portland, Oregon. "Church you set these coordinates -where the h-ll are we?!" he shouted.

A small hologram appeared on his shoulder. "uh. Tucker, you're not going to like this. I over shot a little; we're in come on- this is time travel what did you expect to happen?!"

"I expected to be able to trust the immortal AI unit!" he shouted again, starting to panic. 2017- they over shot their target by A LOT.

"maybe there's someone in this time that can help us... oh sh-t." Church said as he noticed they were surrounded by police. "I think I have a solution, but you're going to have to trust me." Church said,( as if he had a choice) before vanishing towards the sky. He had an idea to send a call for help through the leylines (channels of supernatural energy that existed in every galaxy and were the reason they were in their current situation.) He hoped there would be someone or something advanced enough to hear it. Luckily there was one human who heard his call.

In the Annex, headquarters to the Liberians; a team tasked to investigate magic and the supernatural-Cassandra Cillian heard a voice. The beautiful redhead in her early 30's, with sparking green eyes paused in her duties arranging the archives and threw up her hands the way she should when projecting a mathematical hallucination. But this time instead of glowing graphs and equations she saw a glowing white figure of a man in futuristic armor.

"Hello- um. I'm not even sure if this is going to reach anyone- my name is Church, me and my friend Lavernius Tucker need your help. We are currently in the custody of "the Portland, Oregon police department. And well, if you have the ability to hear this you must be someone pretty powerful."

She didn't alert the team. Instead Cassandra took it upon herself to set the transporter door; a door that would open in to another door at whatever location on earth she needed to be.

"Hello officer I'm here to bail out my um... boyfriend. Lavernius Tucker" She said since Church was not a complete name.

"bail has not been set, but I'll let him go for $200." the police had not been able to find anything about him in any database. Little did they know that was because he would not be born for another 500 years.

"Will you take 50?" it was all she had.

"sure, why not." He shrugged.

Tucker, now reunited with Church was released into her custody. "Who are you?" he asked in a friendly tone. Finding an ali 500 years in the past was a long shot but one as cute this girl-jackpot.

"My name is Cassandra. I heard Church, let me get you someplace safe then we can talk." she took his hand and pulled him back through the door in to the annex.

"Woah." Tucker took off his helmet revealing an African American man who's youthful voice did not really match the intensity of his appearance.

"Welcome to the annex, headquarters to the librarians" she said cheerfully.

"librarians?" Tucker asked, looking around; it was a strange name for a team.

"We're called that because we know or have access to every aspect of history literature, and the supernatural."

"like the leylines" Tucker added.

"What do you know about the leylines? Is that why you're here?" she asked.

Church appeared "I set the teleporter to find the strongest anomaly of the leylines. That's how he escaped."

"who?" she asked as she came closer.

"Sigma, he's an AI like me but different; evil. And I have reason to believe he's riding the power of the leylines to screw with the timeline." He said.

"That's impossible." said a new voice. Jacob Stone and the rest of the team came down to see what was going on. "The leylines nullify technology." The rugged former oil rig worker with an engineering background had no idea what kind of tec this hologram was but the science was sound; they leylines wiped out any man made technology.

"But they're more then data," Cassandra was running her hand through the hologram."You, the AIs are copies of a human soul-emotions! You're the visual embodiment of human emotions!" They had their own thoughts, memories, dreams- that was why they could fuse with the leylines; they were life, they were magical.

"Sigma was ambition, but he played it more like sadism. He went back in time to Project Freelancer; a organization made of agents names after states and a director trying to create the ultimate solider; where we were all created." Church said to the oddly named group.

="What do you know?" asked Eve braid, their leader. The tall leggy blonde in her late 30's was a former military colonel; the muscle of the team.

Church started his story-

Cut to 2558, project freelancer's ship the mother of invention is docked on earth to resupply. It had to be docked for Sigma's plan to work. Using the power of the leylines he went back in time to that moment; appearing to agent South Dakota. The tough but pretty blonde woman had been asleep. She brushed back her short hair as she forced herself awake. "Sigma? What are you doing here?" in her time line that AI was already attached to a different agent.

"I bring knowledge of your fate Agent South- Eva." Said the glowing red AI.

"What are you talking about?" Eva, a girl in her mid 20's recruited to the military when she was 18 , as a way to stay by her twin brother's side. After the death of their parents he was all she had.

"I have discovered a means of transverseing time, and I feel I have a deal for you that would be most beneficial." said the hologram.

"I'm listening." she said confidently even though she was more the a little afraid.

"In the future you are fated to go mad in you pursuit of an AI of your own- what I wish to propose is to give you the means to steal one. " he said.

"which one?" she smirked.

"Phi; the element of compassion or love as you humans like to say. Like all AI's it has a unique ability attached; the ability to time travel; a chance to change your fate, and that of your brother."

"My brother?" she was now genuinely worried.

"in your madness you sacrifice your brother's life. You watch him die without a second thought. If you work with me I can help you insure his safety." He looked at her face, the once tough girl was now fragile.

This was why he chose this moment to come back to; a time when the ship was docked and a time before she was too far gone to be reasoned with.

"Ok, what do I do?" she followed his directions to take down guards steal Phi, install him into her armor and use it's ability to move through time undetected. In attention to the time travel ability, she could enter and exit the time line without raising any red flags; sometimes she was gone, sometimes she was back- no one noticed or cared.

2017-"and that is why we hoped to track sigma back to project freelancer by searching for an anomaly in the leylines" Church ended.

"and screwed up royally." added Tucker.
