Prologue: The Void
He awoke. His head was spinning. Where was he?
"Ahh, you're up, good," said a voice in the darkness.
"What?"
"Don't worry, Mister Murdock. You're in safe hands," replied the voice in an eerie tone as a figure emerged. "My Employers are very interested in what you have to offer."
"Who are you?"
"My name is not important... What is important is that you still have a contract with us and now the time has come for you to fulfill that contract."
The figure was now recognizable. He... or it, wore a blue suit and was holding some kind of a briefcase.
"You, now I remember you. You the ass hole that knocked me unconscious."
"Now, now, no need for crude language. Yes, I knocked you unconscious but I'm sure you wouldn't have wanted to be bored for the long time you've been asleep."
"Long time... How long?"
"Well, I'm not really at liberty to say. However I will tell you this, it has been a very long time. In any case as I previously stated you're hour has come. My employers have decided that now is the best time for you're contract with us to begin. It's time for you to begin Mister Murdock," said the blue suit as he began to walk away from Murdock and into the darkness
"Wait, what am I supposed to do?"
There was only silence, and the darkness consumed him.
