Chapter 2: Secrets

Deck 7, Lab 4 storage

Matt slowly came to and looked around the room that him, Rick and Akira had fallen into. Matt got unsteadily to his feet and took in his surroundings. They had fallen into some kind of storage area for the labs. There were crates stacked all over the room but what got Matt's attention was the connecting door to the labs or more precisely, what was left of the door. He turned away from the door and went over to his companions.

"Rick, Akira. Wake up. We made it, we're in the labs." He said, shaking the unconscious creatures (He still doesn't know that they are experiments). "Just 2 more minutes, mum then I'll get up" slurred Rick as he came to. "Wha… where are we?" Akira said as she finished coming to. "We are in the storage area for one of the labs" Matt answered. "What I want to know is what tore that door to pieces."

"Maybe, it was these Timesplitters that are on the ship" said Akira "No, They didn't do this" said Matt as he examined the marks on the door. He got up and walked into the lab, closely followed by Rick and Akira. What met them was shocking. The lab looked like a tornado full of machetes had swept through it. The workbenches had been smashed, the door to the supervisors office had been torn down just like the one that they had came through and fragments of lab clothing lay everywhere. The three of them just stared with their mouths open at what was left of the laboratory. Matt was the first one to move and strode towards the office. He logged onto the computer terminal in there and began to bring up the research logs, muttering "Let's see what's been going on here."

Meanwhile…

The response team rushed down the hall towards lab 4 storage. They were nervous due to the prospect of taking on the traveller. "I hear that he eats his victims" said a corporal who was visibly shaking. "Shut up, corporal. The traveller is just some human punk who keeps getting lucky," said the captain of the squad "There is nothing to worry about."

Above them, several pairs of glowing red eyes and their owners were about to prove the captain wrong. A drop of saliva dropped onto the captain shoulder, and as he looked up they dropped, claws extended.

Back at Lab 4…

"What the hell was that?" Said Rick. "What was what?" said Matt as he struggled with the password for the level ten security lock on the computers files. "Sounded like plasma fire, and a scream." Rick answered "probably nothing."

"Got one. Here you go, Matt." Said Akira, tossing Matt a small green crystal which he shoved into the device on his wrist.

Matt's POV

I finished inserted the new time crystal shard into my uplink and nodded with satisfaction as the display showed 'Systems operational. Realigning warp circuits.' At least I would be able to get out of here soon. I looked over at Rick and Akira and wondered whether I should take them along with me. No, I wouldn't impose my type of life on them. I wouldn't impose it on anyone. I decided to set up the computer to send out a distress call after I had left. They would be picked up by a Search and Rescue team in no time.

I was brought back to reality as the computer chimed "Password accepted. Select case file for viewing." I spun round so fast that a tattered photo flew out of my pocket. It was dated 2403AD and showed a group of grinning people holding plasma autorifles. One of those people was me from two years ago; the younger girl next to me was… I shoved it into my pocket as bad memories came back to haunt me. "Select case file for viewing." The computer reminded me. "Show all files relating to 'Project EXP.' I commanded it. I was curious as to what this mysterious project was all about. A mans face appeared on the screen and began to talk.

Audio logs of Dr Frederick Nova

Date of recording: 23/08/2789

"My name is Doctor Frederick Nova, head of Research & Development aboard the Pan Pacific R&D vessel, U.S.S Honolulu. Our latest project is a contract to an outside sponsor and is to create a virus capable of altering a subject both physically and mentally. We have been given unlimited funds to carry this out. As a scientist, I find this to be a chance to create new life but as a person, I cannot help but wonder what the purpose of this exercise is. Signing off."

Date of recording: 28/08/2789

"Since my last recording we have made substantial progress. The virus molecule is finished and ready for testing. Unfortunately, there is a setback. The virus cannot survive in liveable atmospheres long enough to infect any suitable hosts. Also we received a request from Earth Headquarters to add Experiment D.N.A to the virus sequence. Why they would want this is unknown but I will attempt to carry out the order."

I began to get bored as this 'Doctor Nova' or whoever he was began spouting techno babble so I skipped some entries until I found something interesting…

Date of recording: 12/09/2789

"We have genetically engineered an Experiment clone to administer the virus to targets. Wilson came up with the idea after watching 'Dawn of the Dead' in the mess hall. For our preliminary tests we used the D.N.A records for the 21st century Experiment known as 'Melty'. We have named the Experiment: E.X.P 001"

Date of recording: 15/09/2789

"There was an accident today. While cleaning E.X.P 001's cage, Wilson was badly bitten. I requested a medical team but by the time they got to the lab, the virus had already transformed him into an experiment similar to E.X.P 001. Wilson is now showing violent behaviour towards all human members of staff. Strangely, when an Experiment staff member enters the room he calms down. Meanwhile, I have sent an e-mail to H.Q on earth containing a schematic of the virus molecule. I have also sent the D.N.A blueprints for an Experiment that will be able to reverse and cure our creation which we have called 'The E.X.P-Virus'. I cannot help feeling remorse for the people that our virus will be used on".

I clicked onto the last entry. It was disturbing to say the least…

Emergency Log

Date of recording: 16/09/2789

"This is the final en… static …f Dr Frederick Nova of th… fzzt … S.S Honolulu. We must have been fools to warp nature as we did. Almost immediately after sending the virus schematics to my opposite number on earth, Dr Johnson, all the containment cells popped their seals and Wilson and 001 went on a rampage. Looks over his shoulder They have killed or mutated everyone else. Without 777's blueprints we could not create the vaccine fast enough. Door behind him buckles Heh, I should expect that whoever is reading this is from earth, door begins to give way for human and Experiment-kinds sake, destroy this vessel. Stop Dr Johnson before he… Door gives way and something rushes Dr Nova. No! Stay back. Raises pulse handgun, fires one shot and attempts to shoot himself but is dragged down screaming.

I turned the computer off, in shock from what I had seen. 'Oh, God!' I thought. What did they make here?

My situation went downhill fast as someone pressed the nozzle of a plasma autorifle to my head. "Freeze" said the Splitter storm trooper.

Normal POV

Reactor room of U.S.S Honolulu

"So, this is the great Traveller who strikes fear into Timesplitters across space." Gloated Capt Darleas to his three captives who were chained by their feet to a bulkhead. "Stop that." He yelled, smacking Matt across the face. Matt had been miming an exaggerated impression of Darleas, much to the amusement of Akira and Rick. "So, are you going to kill us or gloat at us some more?" asked a now dazed Matt. "Personally, I would choose death rather then listen to you for a minute longer."

"Don't get me wrong. You are going to die. You will die when we scuttle this ship." Sneered Darleas while waving Matt's pulse pistols under his nose. "I bet you want these, huh?"

"More then you could imagine. But there is one thing I don't get. What's so important about a load of dead germs…Did you hear that?" said Matt. "Hear what?" said Darleas, cocking his head. "oomph." The 'oomph' was due to the fact that Matt butted Darleas in the chest then grabbed the pistols off of him. He then pointed one at the guards and the other at Darleas's neck. "You splitters are dumb. You fall for that every time. Don't you learn? Now you," Said Matt pointing his spare pistol at a splitter guard next to Akira and Rick "Release them, now." The soldier looked at his captain who just nodded. Once Akira was free, she stabbed the unfortunate splitter in the foot. As he rolled on the floor in agony She simply said "That's for the Captain, you queesta." Which because neither the splitters nor Matt knew any Turonian confused everyone. Matt pushed the captain at his troops. Stupid idea. Darleas immediately pulled out a device like a lighter out of his pocket and pressed the button on it. An explosion tossed Matt, Rick and Akira to the floor and the laughing captain and his squad began to disappear. Just before Darleas vanished though, Matt managed to shoot him in the chest.

Matt, Rick and Akira looked around as more explosions sounded from below them. "What's going on?" Shouted Rick above the din. "Splitter demo charges. We've got to get out of here, come on." Answered Matt and they began to run for the door but a girder fell, blocking the way. "Oh, Smeg!" Screamed Matt out of sheer frustration, he turned to face his companions. "Ever time-travelled?" he asked while inputting the coordinates:

New Honolulu

Hawaii

17th of September

2789AD

"Why ask that stupid question?" fumed Rick. "Because you are about to" answered Matt, pressing the engage button on his uplink, just as the core behind them went critical.

Transmission from: U.S.S Omega Storm

To: Earth Space Command

Priority 1: We have just detected a class 6 anti-matter explosion in the space between Mars and Earth. It has all the hallmarks of a Starship core breach. We would not concern ourselves usually but an unusually high level of tachyon radiation was detected just prior to the explosion. The reason for the explosion is as yet unknown but we estimate the loss of all hands.

Wreckage of the U.S.S Honolulu

The wreckage of the Honolulu seemed like ripped up paper from afar. No one would ever know what had happened here, even if a record was found the military would cover it up. The ghosts of the U.S.S Honolulu seemed to be finally at peace…except for a peculiar fading blue glow…

End of Chapter 2
