I sat inside the cockpit of the ship, grinning. This was it! I told myself. I put the key, which looked like a greenish data-chip, in the slot by the command panel. With two swift movements, I turned the vehicle on and plotted coordinates to lock onto the next time vehicle that the computer could locate. I planned never to see Faith again, and hoped she would never again see me.
I knew what I had to do; I would find a Time Agent. After I had been working with the Time Agency for five years, I woke up one morning, and had no recollection of what I had been doing for the past two years of my life. Two years of my memories were gone. I didn't know who I was or even if I could be trusted. This was my curse, and I would get them back for this. Not quite revenge; I didn't want to hurt them, but I did want them to suffer a loss.
A con! A con would be perfect. Send out some space junk, convince the agents that it's valuable, and after they pay for it, make sure it is destroyed before they realize what hit them.
I pressed three buttons on the control panel and the ship shot through space.
Two hours into the flight, the ships' sensors began to flash. "Time vessel detected" the ships computer announced. "Lock onto it. Follow it." I commanded. "Affirmative." The computer replied.
There was slight turbulence before the ship crossed from reality to the Time Vortex, where it followed a strange blue box with the words 'Police Box, Public Call' on a bar by the top of it.
"What's that?" I asked.
"A space vehicle" The computer responded. "It is a living ship."
"Could it belong to the Time Agency?" I asked.
"Affirmative," she responded, "The Time Agency possesses the technology to do this, though to current knowledge, they have no ships this model made."
"Thank you, Computer."
"Affirmative."
The Chula Warship landed on the 23 August, AD 79. I examined the scenery. There was a large volcano-ish thing, and several hills. "Pompeii!" I exclaimed. I checked my watch, which also happened to be a Vortex Manipulator. "This is long ago! Mount Vesuvius is due to erupt in a day." I parked the ship on a hill, and turned the camouflage device on. It turned invisible.
This would be perfect, I decided. I would tell the Time Agents that I had a valuable Chula Warship, sell it to them, and before they could try to get a look at what wasn't there, the volcano would erupt, destroying whatever was there.
I ran down the hill, curious to meet the owners of the blue box.
