Jace Altman sighed as he sat down beside his desk, glancing over at the crib beside with a slight smile as he moved over it, gently taking his daughter's hand. "Hey Vi." The young girl giggled and smiled at her father. He smiled as he kissed her forehead gently, picking her up and rocking her in his arms. He looked over at the door as it opened, his wife Kate stepping inside as she gently closed the door behind her.

"How is she?" Kate came in and softly set down a stack of papers with a text log on the top of it on the desk.

Jace smiled as he handed his daughter to Kate, moving over to examine the papers. "She's fine. Hmm...my god Kate this information...this proves the existence of Altman's White Marker." Kate nodded excitedly as she cradled their daughter Violet.

"I know! And with Leon's knowledge in both technology and engineering we can make the suit. We can actually make Altman's blueprint of that suit." Kate gently returned their daughter to the crib.

"I can't believe it Kate...after so long of getting so close, we might actually have a way to take down the terror of Unitology." The two kissed one another before Kate led her head on Jace's shoulder, looking down at Violet.

"You think we'll have it done in time for her to live her life freely?"

"We can only hope."


17 Years Later

Violet sighed as she flexed her arm, looking down at her RIG. "Is it finished yet?"

"No. Damnit have some patience." Alan answered her with an annoyed tone as he moved back to her, continuing to work on the suit. "Do you know how hard it is to create technology that is years ahead of our time? It's even harder to make it portable."

"Whatever. I don't even know why I'm agreeing with this." She glanced at the window as she said that, frowning slightly. "Are you sure we're safe here?"

"Yes we're safe. Stop asking me that. The Moons are to busy preying on Earth to care about a rock in the middle of nowhere. And you're doing this because you're whole family has spent all their lives trying to figure out a way to save humanity from Unitology all the way back to your ancestor, Micheal Altman." He pulled back his hand as her suit sparked. "Ow." Even as he did that, lights on the suit lit up, a slight whirring sound being heard as they did.

As the lights came on, she flexed her arm before jumping into the air and spinning around, slamming her fist into the ground as a blade slid out of the arm. It slid back inside as she stood up. "Is it working now?"

"It should be. But please remember this is very very early Alpha technology. Don't use it for joyrides, only take the stops that are vital for the mission. And try not to damage the shock drive. If you do, the suit will either explode and kill you instantly, or it will activate itself and you will be sent spiraling through time and space until your molecules are scattered for eternity." He moved over to his desk then, picking up something and tossing it to her. She caught it in midair.

"What is it?" She examined it as he showed her how to insert it into the suit.

"Energy stores. It'll power the shock drive. It recharges over time using the suit's lights as solar panels. The suit itself has every weapon of our time built into it, as well as the weapon that you've made you're favorite- the blade." Violet grinned at the mention of her favorite weapon of all time. "Here. This is an update for the flame thrower modification so that it can be used in vacuums." He handed it to her as he said that. "To apply it just pull out the flame thrower and attach it."

"Alright already! Seriously stop acting like your my mother. We don't have forever in case you forgot." Even as she said that, the suit shifted and formed itself on her hand, until the flame thrower mod was out and ready. She attached the update and waited for it to reconfigure itself before she closed the mod. "Have you uploaded all the information I need?"

"Ahh...let me check." He moved over to his desk, logging onto his computer as he scanned through it. "Let's see now...the list of people, the idle times, the locations, instructions for Altman's Marker...umm...yea I think that's everything." He clicked on something then, checking to make sure that it was uploaded properly. "Right. Go now. The list is in the order that you should collect them as well."

"Got it...good luck Alan." She turned and walked onto the initial shock pad. Alan had explained how the suit's first travel would need a jump like jumper cables to ignite the shock drive.

Alan smiled at her. "If you succeed, I won't need luck. You're the one who needs it." He flipped a switch on a panel, the pad beneath Violet's feet lighting up as the suit began to shine brighter. The intensity of the brightness grew brighter and brighter until there was the sound of something ripping, and then all at once the light was gone...even as Alan fell to his knees and gripped his head. "AHHHH!" We are hungry. We are here. The room around him shook as the Brethren Moons closed around it, his mind no longer safe without Violet.
