"Ladies and gentlemen."…
"Alex!" Philip was staring at him through a crack in a pile of rubble, his hand was reaching through the crack. "Phil!" Alex got up, he had been knocked out by the blast, "I didn't want to leave you Alex, I have been trying to wake you for a while now, we need to get out, I'm going to go and get out of here, we'll meet up in the offices, I'll see you around." Philip and Alex shaked hands through the hole and then Philip ran off. Alex quickly saw that behind him the wall had fallen down, he climbed through and saw a wrench on the floor, he picked it up and looked at it for a minute, then, out of nowhere a weird ball of beige flesh appeared, it walked p to Alex with its spindly legs, it resembled a dog sniffing the floor, it then jumped up at Alex who in fear grabbed it with the wrench and crushed it between the working edge and the adjustable edge, he then dropped it on the floor and saw yellow ooze billow forth, he saw that its skin had a weird texture, like leather, but oily, he walked ahead and saw a staircase, he walked towards it, but then a huge metal girder swung out and the staircase collapsed, leaving pile of rubble, behind it Philip could see an opening, a burrow of some sort, he crawled into it, it was a soft earth, he continued to crawl through and reached the end, he saw that he was in a plant bed, and crawled out, he was in the underground park, he crawled out and looked around, above the guardrails had fallen and made a sort of scaffolding which kept up the roof, around he could see no one, only the plants and the red rock of the base, he began to look for an exit, above there were many doors but only one he could see on the ground floor, and it was at the opposite side of the room, he hoped that he would not be led too far off course, the room was extremely large and high, if he was going to go through the door he might end up at section three, which would not be good, he would have to go on the rail system, and he would not think that that would be working well after that explosion. "Oh great." He began to walk across the room, but then he heard something. A creaking sound, he continued, when he had met the halfway point a gigantic fissure opened up, the guardrails buckled, broke and fell, interlacing with each other so that the walls stayed up, then some steel guide ropes broke and a hallway crashed out of the ceiling, the rubble bounced off the walls and the hallway landed with an almighty crash on the floor. Inside the hallway he saw an aging man fall out, he was face down, but when Alex turned him over, he couldn't believe his eyes. "PHILIP!" Alex looked at him, "Alex, well, that was lucky, for you, I don't think that you would like to go though that." Alex pulled Philip up on his feet and Philip dusted himself down. "let us make for an exit." "Over there." Alex pointed to the door. "That might lead to section th-." "I know, but it's our only exit." Alex and Philip continued to the door, the corridor began to rupture so Alex and Philip ran to the door. They opened and closed it promptly and found themselves in an office. "Phew, not section three, it's only lifts, let's get as far up as we can." Alex walked to the lifts slowly and he clicked the lift button. They waited for a while and then slowly the doors opened, then as the doors stopped a large insectoid came behind then, it had with it a weird long fleshy device that pulsed electricity. It had one bulbous eye and gill like muscular sheaths sticking out, it called out something and at that moment another smaller creature with eight eyes, hooves and green skin shot a huge bolt of electricity at it, killing it. Alex and Philip got inside the lift and Philip furiously pummelled the close doors button. "they were safe, outside the creature pounded on the doors but to no avail, Alex could hear electric blasts being fired but nothing worked, Alex pushed the buttons but nothing worked. The lift was stuck. At least they were behind closed titanium doors. "I think we have to crawl out of the lift and climb up the maintenance ladders on the outside." Philip announced. Alex nodded and opened to escape hatch, he got on top of the lift and lifted Philip out of the compartment with him, above there was a huge blast of fresh air as fans from above spun, the concrete lined walls shone in the light and the width of the room could take a mans breath away, there were twelve lifts six back to back, the spaces between each lift was large and as Philip looked around, he spotted a ladder, grabbed it and spotted a crowbar, he picked it up as he knew he would need it for later. "Alex! I think we should go as far up as we can, I can see an open doorway from here! Near the top." Alex got on the ladder and began climbing; Philip who had already started climbing could see a vague figure climbing down the lifts ropes. "Hello!"
The vague figure turned around and looked at Philip and shouted. "Hello! My old friend." The man turned out to be Philip! "WHAT IN THE NAME OF-." "Beelzebub? Well, I am your time twin, of exactly." The second Philip looked at his watch. "6 Hours, 21 minutes and 54 seconds in the future. I cannot tell you more information Philip, or me or whatever, but anyway, I am going down, you will do best not to follow me." "Understood." said Alex. "I hope that I can forgive myself for saying this but what happened?" "I will tell you some things, A resonance cascade, You can check with the scientist up at the door that you will enter, Dr. Kleiner. But anyway, Philip, We are experiencing a resonance cascade, there was a discrepancy in the power levels when the Anomalous materials team tested their subject, a huge shockwave travelled the length and Breadth of the base and you should know the rest." "A resonance cascade? As in string theory?" "Yes, as far as I can tell the malfunction stopped the strings of the particles in the beam emitters resonating, time froze and space twisted." "It froze like a television." "as predicted if it ever happened." Philip continued climbing and Philip2 spoke "Farewell, and Alex." "Yes?" "You are a brave man." "erm.. thankyou?" Philip2 continued to descend and Philip and Alex continued upwards until they stumbled over onto the maintenance walkway along the side, Philip and Alex jumped through the open door and there was Dr. Kleiner, looking at Philip. "Dear god! Philip! You found someone! Come here! I must tell you of what happened now! I cannot delay you of this information any longer!"
"Megas Alexandros!" A black man turned around and met eyes with Alex. "Dr. Vance, and well, who is this?" A young girl looked at Alex, "This, is Alyx."…
