Issue One, Act Two
Gatherings
Scene One
Pacing towards War
The simultaneous destructions of the Megaship and Enterprise was detected by a force other than that of Unagi Garenth. Millions of miles away from the Enterprise's demise, reactions were already beginning to stir.
"Sir," said a young ensign, sitting at a terminal at AK Corp's Dimensional Tracking Center in Metropolis.
"Yes, ensign," replied Colonel Green, pulled out from deep thinking of how to become a General. But, he thought to himself, since only the Kent family members could get promoted that high, it will never happen. So a few generals went crazy and tried to kill Adam Kelly, that does not mean I will.
"I have detected an inter-dimensional portal opening in the Malcor Star System."
Now Colonel Green was abruptly ripped from thought. "Oh, shit, another portal!?" exclaimed Green. He knew what that meant; someone is going to enter Earth A. Only one of three outcomes will occur, he thought: friends are coming to visit, someone or something is going to invade...or the universe will soon fall apart.
"Your...orders, sir?"
"What's the nearest ship to the portal?"
"The Enterprise-C was assigned to explore that region of space. However, central command reports they lost contact with the ship within the hour."
Damn, damn, damn and double damn, thought Green, this is not good. The Enterprise was either destroyed or damaged. I hope it was just interference from the portal that has prevented communication. "Ask them to find and sent their nearest ship. That's all we and they can do until we talk to the big man upstairs."
The ensign had known who the "big man" was talking about: the commander-in- chief of the AK Corp Army, Andrew Kelly, as he was the on the 420th floor of the one-mile high AK Corp Metropolis Building.
All Green hoped for was that this was not some kind of invasion, and that Andrew would send more ships to investigate. It was now another waiting game.
