For the past four days Skye and Tech were in contact with Jack helping each other run interception operations and surveillance operations. The amount of information that was being collected was astounding. It seemed as if Shale was trying to accelerate his plan to control time. Jack had been kind enough to give all the information on Shale when they last contacted two days ago. The information included extra's about Shale's childhood, more about his education and other life choices.

'How does a role model student turn into a psychopathic killer?' Skye asked herself.

She looked at the time on the clock, it was 11:01AM, she thought now would be a good time to try and do some reconnaissance detail.

"Hey Tech, I'm going to go do a quick run around the city and see if anything suspicious is happening"

"Ok Skye, Just in call in every five or ten minutes to let me know if you're ok or need help"

"Will Do"

Skye's POV

As I began to walk out the door I felt a little uneasy as if something bad was about to happen. I made sure to pick up my com on the way out. As I walked out I watched as the door close behind me to make sure it latched in. I made my way up the stairs to the roof nearly tripping on a few stairs, I was sort of still tired from a lack of sleep. Sleeping on a couch next to Tech on his feels very awkward to me as not having much experience with guys in my life since my accident made boy's stray away from me. As I went out the door of the stair case I walked onto the roof and the glare of the sun hit my eyes making it sort of hard to look north. I took a moment just to look around and look at the positives of what's happened so far. Since Tech and I arrived in 2128 we've had some fun moments together, I still remember the hug he gave me, sort of felt true and not random in the slightest. What I am thinking, I'm getting distracted. What am I doing I need to fly towards the CBD as that's where most of the activity has been happening. After flying through the air for about a good what ten minutes I think, I decided to contact Tech to let him know i was ok.

"Hey Tech, I'm in the CBD, you need me to do anything?"

" Hmm let's see here , Alright i need you to go to the dock's there is some high energy activity"

"Ok I'll make my way their"

I took off again towards the docks, my gut was telling me this could be a trap possibly but I'm not going to let my guard down anyway. I was glad that the dock was not far from the CBD, it took me about five minutes to get there before I landed by the shipping containers to try and avoid detection by the ground security.

"Skye... Watch... Weapon"

What the heck was Tech saying, something is causing com signal's to be interfered with. This is getting bad, someone must know I was coming if my COM signal is trying to be jammed. Considering there is the possibility of a high energy spike i activated my scanner to see if it could pick it up. I was in luck the signal was strong, obviously something must still be giving it off if the devices is either shut down or is still on. As i followed the signal it was still getting stronger every time i got closer. Something isn't right here, the spike is way too high to be something from this time and in fact something powerful, the signal was now off the charts even my scanner was starting to smoke by the amount of power being processed. I turned it off and I could hear something very strange coming from the container i was standing next to. I decided to walk over to it and open it, I also made sure to stand behind the door in case this was an explosive device. I opened the door and looked inside. Whatever i was looking at, it was certainly something i have never seen before.

Tech's POV

Skye had finally left to do her Recon of the area and I finally have some time to myself after all that has happened. I slowly laid my head against my pillow on the couch that I sleep on. It took me a few seconds but I sort of drifted into a sleep. I was remembering the weathervain encounter the day Skye and I kissed, it's imprinted in my mind, I still couldn't believe that it was real. I sort of became less aware of my surroundings as I feel into a deeper sleep. I was remembering the day i acutely met Skye during the encounter at the University, helping untie her from the bolas that had been tied around her to constrict her movement, sure it's not the best way to meet a girl but what I am saying.

As i was about to fall dead asleep Skye's voice came on over the com

"Hey Tech, I'm in the CBD, you need me to do anything?"

I got up and was very drowsy even though I hadn't officially fallen asleep and that was just annoying. I yawned as I sat on my computer chair and looked at the scanner. I noticed a high energy spike coming from the docks, that isn't naturally coming from somewhere like the docks, even high powered energy weapons do not give off this high of a reading.

" Hmm let's see here , Alright I need you to go to the dock's there is some high energy activity"

"Ok I'll make my way their"

I am extremely cautious and concerned about sending her there but she's a big girl she can look after herself. What the heck am I saying, I better hack into the dock's cameras and see what's going on. I accessed this nice little hacking programme I made a few days ago while I had some free time and I was amazed at how easy it was for a shipyard that could potentially house military grade weapons. Its firewalls were not exactly that well built for a hacking attempt but oh well. I kept searching for a camera that was closest to where the spike was coming from, it's like finding a needle in a hay stack.
Something caught my eye, Shale! He was loading something into a container, but he wasn't wearing his normal gear, his white hair and black eyes were showing along with his tanned skin, but why was he wearing a different outfit, I quickly jotted down what he was wearing. Black hoddie, desert coloured pants and white sneakers. I knew this was a trap, I grabbed my Jetpack and neutron cannon. Glad that came through the wormhole with us or I wouldn't be able to do much.

I sprinted for the roof and took off the second i got on it. I radioed in to Skye

"Skye make sure to watch your corners, Shale is housing some form of weaponry!"

My signal was week when I sent the message, the device he loaded was causing interference with the com. I made it to the shipyard in five minutes flat. I landed in the shipping container area walking around corners hoping to find Skye and warn her. I decided to hop on top of a container and all I could see was an endless sea of the things. But I noticed one was out of order with the rest. I think its best I go towards that one.

Normal POV

Skye walked into the container and began to look at the device she had just discovered, curious to examine it she tore open one of the hatches to see what technology this device used. Most of it was very familiar to her and she began speaking to herself

"Ok let's see here, copper wiring connecting to the main power battery" she continued to do so trying to find what powered the entire thing. During this time Tech finally made it to the shipping container. As he was coming around the corner he noticed a robot sentry walk into the container

"Skye" Tech thought to him self

He made sure not alert the sentry as it walked into the container practically trapping Skye inside.

As Skye was just about to locate the power source she heard something walking in and quickly closed up the panel and knowing this was a close quarter's situation she switched her arm into her sword knowing this could be a tough fight.

"Scanning" said the Robot as its eyes lit up in a white colour.

"Detected heat signature, removing permanently" The robot began walking to Skye.

As the robot came around the corner, Skye sprung him and cut off one of the Robot's arms, but in the time she was recovering from attacking it grabbed Skye by the waist with its other arm and threw her into the back of the container head on.

Tech heard the loud bang and straight away ran into the container.

"You cannot prevent the master's plan, you cannot delay the inevitable" The sentry grabbed its arm that had been cut off and put it against that detached area. The Robot's arm was re-attaching its self as if the wound was just a scratch.

"What... Is his plan" Skye asked as she was dazed by the force of the hit into the wall.
As the Robot was about to finish Skye off Tech came up from behind and bent it down and shot it through the chest with the Neutron cannon

"Error...Error...Err..." The robot's eyes then turned off.

Tech threw the robot aside and went straight to treat Skye's wound.

"Man, you certainly can take a beating" Tech said as he was trying to help with her bloody nose.

"Yea, well you certainly showed up at the right time" Skye replied

They both looked into each other's eyes just for that moment and slowly went into giving each other a kiss but as they were a car was pulling up out front.

"Shhhh" Tech whispered

It was one of Shale's men, Tech and Skye couldn't see him very well but they could see by what he was wearing neck up and what appeared to be an emblem on the side of his collar
He looked around the area before leaving in his car.

"That was close a one" Skye said.

"I think we need to take this back with us and see what we can find out, you ever driven a truck before?" Tech asked

"I sort of can, why?" Skye said

"There is a truck around the corner, if you can either find the car keys or just hot wire it bring it around and I'll load this on to the truck" Instructed Tech

Skye went ran around and got in the truck, she looked in the Glove department and found the trucks keys. She put the keys in the ignition and the truck's engine started to purr and roar. She drove it around the corner to where Tech was standing. He used his magnetism to load the container on the truck's platform and made sure it was stable and wouldn't fall off.

"Ok, so you ready to get this back to the apartment?" Skye asked

"Yea I also can't wait to test it out!" Tech exclaimed
