Prologue

Brian went into the cellar of the house. In the corner was the large electronic device left by the old man. Little by little, the device had begun to fail. Warning lights began to appear on its round display panel, and it had begun to emit a noisy hum. Brian tapped a few keys on the control panel.

"Yes, what is it" said the voice impatiently.

"This thing's flashing warnings" said Brian.

"Who is this?" asked the voice. "Where is my counterpart?"

"Brian, my name's Brian" said Brian.

"Where is my counterpart?" the voice repeated.

"Don't know" said Brian. "He disappeared about six months ago. Do you want me to try to find him?"

"No" said the voice. "He is unimportant. You will work on his behalf. You must obey me without question, is that clear?" There was a pause. The voice repeated . "I said, is that clear?"

"Understood" said Brian.
