Jacob- Her name is Sara Lee
(They both sit in silence for a bit)
Nora- What do you think of her?
Jacob- She’s fine just need a briefing as to what we do here
Nora- So just like the rest of them
Jacob- Yes
Nora- Anything else you would like to add?
Jacob- Nah
Nora- Alright then, have a nice day
(Jacob gets up and goes to leave and as he leaves Nora’s smile starts to fade a bit)
/////////////The Enterprise\\\\\\\\\\\\\
[Dream:
Sara- ROSALIN-
(Rosalin then touches the weird triangle thing and starts to get sucked into it)
Rosalin- PULL ME OUT PULL ME OUT!
(Phil and Deonte rush to try and pull her out but she gets sucked in. Then Phil and Deonte meet a grim fate as Phil gets burned alive not being able to scream much before becoming a singed husk of his former self and Deonte gets turned into a pile of writhing flesh that looks at Sara. Sara throws up after witnessing this and hobbles her way out of the cell. Then the 3 of them grab her and try to drag her into O-77)
Sara- PLEASE PLEASE NO LET ME GO, LET ME GOOOOOOOOOOO…
End dream]
Sara- Huh!?
(Sara wakes up in a cold sweat, breathing heavily and gripping her chest then an officer knocks on her cell)
Officer- Lee, get up, it’s time for work
(Sara then gets up, makes her bed and gets escorted out of the cell in cuffs)
Officer- C’mon y'all we ain't got all day!
(She then gets loaded onto the prison bus. The ride is mostly quiet with occasional banter and reprimands from the officers. Soon they make it to The Enterprise and get unloaded in the parking lot. Green tie Associates come out to meet the prisoners as they are relieved of their cuffs. They are led into the building and into Sector 3 where they all sit down as their names are being called. Sara just sits there and starts daydreaming)
[Flashback:
(Rosalin, Deonte, Sara and Phil are in a gym working out)
Deonte- *bench pressing* Watch us get this job and finally be free, *racks barbell* easy way out, here we come
Sara- *curling dumbbells* I hope it’s that simple
Rosalin- Of course, it’ll just be some menial work for time out of jail, seems worth it to me
Phil- Plus we'll be getting paid too, so a win-win scenario all around
Deonte- Where’d you hear that from?
Phil- Well it is a job and they can’t make us work without paying us so I’m pretty sure we’ll get paid
Sara- Sounds good to me
Rosalin- Alright then see ya on the other side, assholes
(The group all laugh together as they go back to their workouts)
End Flashback]
(Sara is still sitting in the chair until she hears something)
Intercom- AHEM, SARA LEE PLEASE COME TO DESK 7 FOR YOUR SUIT AND TIE
(Sara then gets up and goes to one of the desks at the front)
Receptionist- Here is your employee card as well and feel free to use the changing rooms over there
Sara- Thanks
?- MAN FUCK THIS!!!
(Sara then looks over to one of the other desks and sees one of the inmates grab one of the receptionists and hold her in a choke hold. The green ties present don’t seem too fazed about it though)
Inmate- I’m getting the fuck out of here, whether you like it or not
(No response)
Inmate- Now if you want her alive I suggest you get me out of here now
(One of the green ties sigh)
G/T- You really think the life of one employee means we’ll just let you walk free
Inmate- Wha-
(The Inmate is then rendered unconscious by the Green tie)
G/T- This dumbass *points to a yellow tie Associate* you, take this guy over to Sector 4 and give him to an “Akoni Montaque”
(The name brings a chill down Sara’s spine)
Y/T- Yes sir
(The yellow tie then puts the inmate on his shoulders and takes him to the research sector. The Green Tie then looks to he recovering receptionist)
G/T- Are you alright?
Receptionist- I’ll be fine, he wasn’t too hard on me
G/T- Then carry on
(The green tie then goes back to his post and the receptionist just goes back to her desk as if nothing happened)
Sara- *in head/walking to the changing room* Guess that's what happens to the wild ones
(Sara gets changed into her suit, puts on her yellow tie and looks into the mirror at herself)
Sara- Look at you Sara, from death row inmate to office worker, what a life
(She then leaves the bathroom as a name is called)
Intercom- TADASHI KAITO PLEASE COME TO DESK 9 FOR YOUR SUIT AND TIE
(Sara then walks by a guy with bandages fully covering his head except for his eyes)
Sara- *in head* Never seen him before
(Sara then sits down for a small while then…)
Intercom- WILL SARA LEE REPORT TO THE LOBBY FOR ASSOCIATE MAVERICK
(Sara then gets up and goes to the lobby where she finds Jacob holding a clipboard at the reception desk with Latoya)
Latoya- So when do you think we’ll be able to go out sometime
Jacob- Probably never
Latoya- *smiling* Never say never, sweetheart *notices Sara* What do you need, baby?
Jacob- She’s with me
Latoya- Oh so she’s part of your new squad
Jacob- She’s the ONLY part of my squad
Latoya- *surprised* Already?
Jacob- Yep
Latoya- Guess it can’t be helped, you do have a reputation for it, sorry
Jacob- Let’s go Sara
Sara- Ok
Latoya- Have a good day you 2 *waves happily*
Sara- Thanks
(Both Jacob and Sara start to walk down to Sector 5)
Sara-*in head* At least there's one normal person here
Sara- So what are we doing today?
Jacob- Going to meet E again and then I’ll give you a fitness test
Sara- *confused* I don’t have any gym clothes
Jacob- That won’t be a problem, oh and here *gives her a walkie talkie*
(Sara looks at it)
Jacob- I’ll be calling you on it should we ever get separated on future missions or for when you go on your own and need to call for backup
Sara- Alright (pockets it)
(They make it back to the window at “Weapons and Development”, with the faint sound of testing gunfire, as Jacob notices a lack of “Estralza” in the air)
Jacob- You here E!?
(No one answer but one of the staff comes up to him)
Developer- Oh Jacob how ya been?
Jacob- Fine, where’s E?
Developer- She took the day off, couldn’t tell ya why though
Jacob- *brushes his hair out the way* Well guess we’ll have to talk to her tomorrow *looks at Sara* Hey, are you good with guns or swords?
Sara- If I had to say, guns maybe
Jacob- Hey could I get a standard glock with 5 extra magazines and a sword?
Developer- Sure thing are we renting or buying
Jacob- Renting
Developer- Gotcha *goes to get them*
Jacob- *to Sara* You see I would have gotten you a personal weapon but since E isn’t here I’ll just have to give you something in the meantime
Sara- Ooooooook
(The guy comes back with what Jacob ordered)
This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.
Developer- Alright standard issue glock with 5 extra magazines, would you like one of our magazine bags and holsters?
Jacob- Uh, sure
Developer- *loading the gun and mag bag* Alright there is a $100 fee for renting items
Jacob- Won’t be a problem *hands over a $100 bill*
Developer- Thank you
Jacob- Here *hands Sara the stuff*
Sara- *putting the holster and mag bag on* You sure it’s ok to give me a gun and a sword?
Jacob- Yeah *walks off* Not like you’d be dumb enough to use it here anyway
(Sara just holsters the gun and walks off with him)
(Jacob then leads Sara to the gym where they see other people working out as well)
Jacob- I’m gonna need you to do all of these to the best of your ability *hands her a paper*
(Sara looks at the paper and sees that it has slightly harder exercises than what she was given for the application phase)
Sara- What about this *gestures to her suit* I don’t have any gyms clothes
Jacob- Like I said that won’t be a problem *takes a whistle and a timer out of his pocket then sits down* get ready
Sara- *confused* What’chu mean “get ready"?
Jacob- Do I have to spell it out for you your going to do those in your suit now shut up and start working
Sara- What!? But-
Jacob- *agitated* What did I just say?
(Sara gets scared by this, sits the walkie talkie and gun equipment down and starts to do the exercises after he blows his whistle and sets a timer for 30 minutes. She starts to and after she’s done he gives her his thoughts)
Jacob- Passable
Sara- *panting* What?
Jacob- Your Passable
Sara- *panting* Alright whatever
Jacob- *writing down some stuff* Your gonna have to do this everyday so get used to it
Sara- That’s fine, at least I get it
Jacob- Now go take a shower and come back *gestures to the gym’s locker rooms*
Sara- Aight
(Sara goes to the locker rooms and as Jacob sits there and waits for her David comes into the gym, looking strained, with his squad)
Jacob- *in head* Seems like she’s giving him a hard time again
David- Sup, Jacob
Jacob- David
David- You already done your testing?
Jacob- Yeah she’s taking a shower now
David- That’s cool I gotta test my guys right about now
Jacob- Who are they?
David- *to his squad* Yo!
(The 4 people come over one of them taking a bit longer than usual)
David- This is Johnny, Yaara, Adina and Tadashi
(Johnny Hastings was a man of average height, with a crew cut, a faint beard, green eyes, pale white skin and a few tattoos. Yaara Milton was slightly shorter than Johnny with shoulder length black hair, brown eyes and a similar middle eastern appearance to Jacob. Adina Underwood was shorter than Yaara, had black hair, black eyes, a scar on her face and a gap in her teeth. Tadashi Kaito was the tallest of the group, about 3 inches taller than David, with his head being completely covered in bandages, except for his eyes and nostrils of his nose. His eyes were black and he had a stiff demeanor to him.)
Yaara- Hey
(Johnny, Adina and Tadashi remain silent)
Jacob- Hi
David- Well better get this started, alright fellas were gonna be doing a fitness test today so lock in *hands then all a sheet of paper* complete as many of these as possible in 30 minutes; Ready…GO!
Johnny- Wait wait wait wait, in our suits?
David- Yes-
(Tadashi immediately starts doing the first set of exercises barely any noise emanating from his body)
David- *under breath* Looks like someones eager, what y’all waiting on, get too it
(The group starts to do the workouts alongside Tadashi who is already moving onto the next set. As this is happening Sara comes out of the locker room)
Jacob- Finally…
(Sara walks up to Jacob, looking very uncomfortable)
Sara- My suit is still wet
Jacob- Deal with it
(David then notices Sara next to Jacob)
David- So you're the one that survived eh?
Sara- *putting her equipment back on* What?
David- Of his squad, your the only one that survived
Sara- Uh yeah, I guess
David- Well try to survive as long as you can- HEY HASTINGS STOP SLACKING *blows whistle*
Jacob- Alright then we’ll be on our way, see ya David
David- See ya
(Jacob and Sara then start heading to the containment sector)
Jacob- Now did you read that document you were given yesterday?
Sara- Uh yeah but I was a bit confused
Jacob- Of course, but I guess it’s as good a time as any, let’s stop by “Mathematics” and give you a crash course
(They make it to “Mathematics” and see a small video seminar happening based on “World Events”)
Jacob- Oh, forgot about that, just go sit over there and listen I’ll wait over here
(Sara goes over to the rest of the inmates and new recruits, sitting in one of the open seats in front of the presentation where a man in a coat with glasses, a crew cut, a goatee and formal attire with a pointer stick is on the board)
[A/N: MTN = Mathematician]
MTN- Now, as I said, because of how the universe is structured whenever there is a mistake in it’s many equations one of 2 types mishaps can occur “Undefined Events” or “Radical Events” these have been abbreviated to “UE’s” and “RE’s” for simplicity’s sake. An “Undefined Event” is caused by a universal equation ending in one of the 7 undefined equations these include: 0÷0, ♾-♾, ♾÷♾, 0×♾, 1 to the power of ♾, 0 to the power of ♾ and ♾ to the power of zero. A “Radical Event” is caused by a universal equation ending in a negative radical which includes √-1,√-2,√-3 you get the idea. “Undefined Events” cause dimensional gateways or portals to open and bring all kinds of paranormal objects, organisms, or oddities. “Radical Events” cause already existing objects or organisms to become paranormal. Both of these events are planned for but unexpectedly our hardworking mathematics department have been at work trying to predict the next “UE’s” or “RE’s” from happening but it will take time. New recruits make sure you listen to your designated associates when these events happen in order to follow proper protocol and ensure safe and successful capture and containment of these anomalies. Have a great day Enterprise staff!
(A fast speaking voice then comes on)
TheEnterpriseisnotliableforanymishapsinjuriesordeathsbroughtuponfromfailuretocomplywithestablishedprotocol :)
(Everyone gets up from their seats and walk back to their respective associates, as Sara is walking back to Jacob he just finishes a phone call )
Jacob- You understand it?
Sara- Um, basically
Jacob- *getting up* Basically is better than not at all, well get ready because we gotta job to do
Sara- What kind of job?
Jacob- We gotta provide security for the research sect, they’re examining a new dimension through the Metrinite train
Sara- Were providing security!?
Jacob- Well I’m providing security your just there to watch and offer the team your help should they need it
Sara- Oh, ok then
Jacob- Fine then let’s go-
Sara- Wait you still didn’t explain to me what you meant by the “multiverse” yesterday
Jacob- Oh right that, *sigh* I’ll explain it on the train it’ll give you a more visual feel about it
(Jacob and Sara make it to Sector 1 along with the rest of the research team)
Séphora- Good, you make it *to her team* alright everyone let’s go
(After they all get onto the train and, it starts rolling. Sara takes notice of the Conductor going around asking questions to the research members)
Sara- What’s up with him?
(As Sara is pondering, Jacob goes over to Séphora and asks her)
Jacob- Could you explain to my trainee how this train and the multiverse works?
Séphora- Sure, we got time
(Séphora gets up from her seat and sits with Jacob and Sara)
Séphora- Ok, also I need you to want this train ride to go on for a while
Sara- Why?
Séphora- Because depending on your perception of time the ride can take only a couple of seconds or forever
Sara- No way…
Séphora- Anyway I’ll begin, this is the Metrinite train, it can go anywhere in the world and through the multiverse. We are one of many realities and the Metrinite train allows us to access other ones. There are currently only 13 that we know of considering it seems to take time for the Metrinite train to find these different worlds and it does so at random. Some of them are good while others we have to make good by force if necessary, regardless of its danger we have to document them. Do you get it?
Sara- Yeah, and who's that guy? *gestures to the conductor*
Séphora- That's the Conductor, he's the one who pilots this train and helps with retrieval missions incase we need to move a lot of equipment around, he's a nice guy try to say hello
Sara- Nah, I'm good-
Conductor- And how are we doing over here?
(The sudden appearance spooks Sara as she jumps in her seat)
Séphora- I'm doing fine
Conductor- Mhm, and what about you miss?
(Sara is put off by his chilling demeanor as his eyes remain shut)
Sara- I'm fine...
Conductor- Great just let me know if you need anything
(The conductor walks off)
Séphora- Told ya he's nice *leans back*
Sara- *uncomfortable* Thanks for the tip
Séphora- Your welcome *notices the train slowing down* seems like were here
Jacob- *waking up from a nap/yawn* Finally
Sara- Already?
Séphora- Remember what I said the perception of time is different for everyone on the train *starts walking and commanding he research teams* Our scouting team has already cleared this place as breathable so we’ll be fine, lets go
Jacob- C’mon Sara let’s do this
Sara- Aight
(They get off the train and head into a new world as the conductor walks out to the terminal and stands off to the side)
Conductor- Happy hunting, all of you
(Some say "thank you" to him but others just ignore him as Séphora starts the expedition)
Séphora- *speaking into voice recorder* This is head of research Séphora Reed recording as this marks the first expedition of D-14 at 1500 hours with research squad alpha and accompanied by Associate Jacob A. Maverick and his recruit we advance *stuffs the recorder in her pocket* I want research equipment stationed around here make sure it’s set up correctly *gestures to Jacob and Sara* Maverick, take these *hands them bags and gloves* I want you and her to scout the area and bring back anything interesting you might find
Jacob- Roger that *looks over to Sara/putting on the gloves* You go that way and I’ll head over here make sure to radio me incase anything happens
Sara- Gotcha
(Sara then goes off on her own and finds some mushroom looking specimens)
Sara- Alright let’s do this
(She starts picking them up and putting them in here bag as she does this something slinks around behind her)
Sara- Huh? *looking back*
(Nothing is there until she looks infront of her and sees a black humanoid creature with bone like protrusions coming out of its body; she stumbles back which causes it to try and get closer to her which she responds to by quickly pistol whipping it in the head killing it)
Sara- What was that!? *picks up her walkie talkie* Hey, I’m gonna need you over here
~Jacob- Alright be there soon~
(As Sara then pokes the dead carcass with her sword the ground starts to violently shake and then a giant version of the specimen she killed comes out of the ground)
?- ሃዐ፱ ልዪቹ ክዐፕ ሠቹረርዐጮቹ ⶴቹዪቹ, LEAVE NOW! (YOU ARE NOT WELCOME HERE, LEAVE NOW!)
Sara- *in head* How can I understand it?
Sara- I was just about to actually *slowly steps back but runs into Jacob*
(Sara gets spooked, turns around and shoots Jacob in the face which he doesn’t react to and just pulls the bullet out of his skin, no blood is seen)
Jacob- Please be careful, if I were one of the researchers you might have been punished by the Chief
(Jacob then walks over to the creature and tries to play diplomat)
Jacob- Ok, considering you have some level of smarts, I’ll ask what you want?
?- RETRIBUTION!
Jacob- Sorry I’m not at liberty to allow that so how about this I take this corpse here back with me and we go our separate ways?
?- NOOOOOOOO!
Jacob- Well that sucks, *groan* Well looks like I’m gonna have to do things the hard way *opens the staff casing*
?- I WILL KILL YOU IF IT’S THE LAST THING I DO
Jacob- Well, killing you will be the first thing I do
(Both Jacob and the monster get ready for battle with many other specimens coming from the ground surrounding them on all sides)
Sara- Uh, how are we getting out of this?
Jacob- Easily
