I looked around at the entire strange room I was in right now. I just remember a few moments ago, I sank into the water after almost dying behind the Rex, and then I woke up here in front of Chronos. Behind him hangs my suit, which in every corner I looked at, many patches and scratches covered it. A reminder and proof of what I've been through so far. Everywhere I look in this room, it seems as if there has been a storm inside the room.

I looked at my feet and started trying to move them. Surprisingly, I felt no pain in the places where I was bumped, scratched, and rubbed. I moved my fingers wide. After a long time without taking off the suit, I felt like a new person:

"I haven't felt this way in a long time," I said to Kronos who just looked at me with his black eyes.

"I used all the devices and kits I had"

I moved all my fingers and feet until I got up from the surface I was lying on.

"I have to meet you, thank you!" I was grateful to him: "It had to be expensive for you"

"It's nothing" he replied: "Just rest for now, I'll get you something to eat"

And he walked out of the room with the automatic door closing behind him and I stay here, moving forward to the hanging suit and starting talking to her:

"Rosalina?"

Silence prevailed in the room. I turned the helmet over and took the suit straight off the rack and started putting the suit on slowly. After that, I lay back down and looked at the helmet screen. The whole display is off, without any information or detail. There was nothing to him. Suddenly, the strangest and most exotic robot I've ever encountered in my life enters the room - a shiny ball with many arms underneath like a squid, brings me a tray with a whole meal on it. I recoiled from him from the surprise, but he replied"

"Hello, Colin." His voice sounded more human than any android I've ever encountered, and he continued to speak:

"Per Chronos' request, I brought you a meal with water for your convenience. I recommend you wait and rest before you can leave the room. Those are my instructions."

He gently brought the tray to me and stood there in front of me. I took off my helmet and picked up the cutlery that was lying next to the meal and began to eat and drink with them. Throughout the meal, he stood and did not move anything in particular for himself. Looking at him as I did so, I noticed that he was hovering elegantly in the same place until I finished. As soon as this happened, he moved his arms to the tray and took them out of the room.

The meal was so satisfying that I went back to lie down and close my eyes. In those moments I tried to understand where I was - am I already at the Luna base? Or I'm still on Earth, the "T.H.E", with other survivors. I was excited that finally after walking around the entire metropolis, the mountains, and the desert, the creatures on the one hand look like aliens, but feel like home, and on the other hand, how much some of the creatures resembled humans, I met them in their place, living humans. Or maybe I'm just imagining it all. I took the helmet and lifted it over my head. I looked around him out of boredom, but in one single moment I turned around, I saw something strange on the front of the helmet that resembled the same inscription I saw when I was standing on the rail.

I sacrificed it close to my eyes to confirm what I saw. I turned it in every possible direction, but it didn't appear. I decided to put the helmet back on and when I put it on, the screen turned on and changed its color to a foreign color, and began to fill with strange inscriptions and signs that I had never encountered before. I threw the helmet to the floor out of panic, but it continued! The room is suddenly dark and full of the same inscriptions covering the entire wall. I started to panic - what's going on here?

The door opened and the robot came out and started grabbing the helmet, without asking any questions. One of his arms entered the helmet and began to glow with a bright light and the inscriptions that were projected everywhere my eyes saw that it was as if a computer had taken over him, stopped, and remained with the same marks. In the same room, Chronos entered the room and saw me scared and the robot holding the helmet.

If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

"What is?" He asked

"I do not know!" I answered in a panic as if I was trying to do something bad, but his face showed otherwise.

The robot brought the helmet to him and he started checking it around. As he turned the helmet, the inscriptions projected from it did not budge. The robot came close to my face. I didn't see any shape that resembled a face from the glowing ball:

"I don't detect anything out of the ordinary about him, although what he was wearing was tainted by it" he walked away back to Chronos

"What's infected?" I asked when I didn't understand anything of what was happening. Chronos looked back at me, with a heavy face to which he already knew what is happening here, but his eyes told a different story:

"I think it would be appropriate to tell you after I check what happened to your AI system. Can you give me the suit?"

I didn't argue with him and took off the whole suit and brought it to him. Chronos left the room while the robot stayed next to me and began to speak:

"Colin, I'm afraid we've come across something very unexpected and unusual. I know there was an AI called 'Rosalina', is that correct?"

I nodded my head in the affirmative.

"Rosalina is still there, but I can no longer tell until Chronos instructs me to tell you"

"Why can't you at least tell what's going on around you?" I dared to ask

"The situation is very fragile and especially dangerous right now until he returns. You'll need to be patient until then. I'm sorry" he answered without resisting, but it made me worry about what was going on here and why. I moved back, while the writing was still visible on the walls, like in a horror movie I'm being hunted. I closed my eyes and all I heard was the door opening and closing, my breathing and my heartbeat, beating in uneasiness.

Finally, I don't know how long, the door opens again and I heard the robot's voice:

"Colin, you're welcome to come out and follow me"

I opened my eyes and all the inscriptions disappeared and nothing remained of them. I got up and in my bare feet without an article of clothing for my feet, I started to move forward and follow the robot. He led me to a narrow corridor right in front of me, stairs leading up. He went up there and I followed him, when I finished climbing all the stairs, I saw Chronos sitting on a chair in front of a large and wide windshield and below him a holographic interface that controls all the data and covers most of the lower windshield. From the outside, I saw ruined buildings and out-of-control vegetation everywhere outside. Only from this look did I realize that I was actually in a spaceship!

"Colin, let me tell you something very thoughtful" he started talking to me only when I got in front of him. I stood before moving away from him a little. He noticed this:

"Sit down for a moment, this might be a bit long. I have something more important to tell you first, but before that, let me tell you where you are"

He got up and moved to the interface. He started moving things around and moving his fingers while controlling with ease. From within the interface, something similar to a camera opened and began to project something from it. As soon as it turned on, I immediately recognized what it was showing me - the moment when I, standing on the roof of the communications structure, hear the message of '*Bay-Mulg Leesburg*', saying that his group is trying to find survivors and direct them to collection points, it is an aspiration I finally arrived, only to find out later that something wasn't quite right, with the whole desert in the middle of nowhere and the ridge in the way. He stopped when Rosalina finished translating him and looked back at me:

"Bay-Mulg Leesburg? As far as I know, never belonged to this group"

"How do you know this?"

"Because it is the name of the same scientist who sent me to reach this place" he answered

"What? There is someone else with that name"

He began to project something else - the moment when Rosalina behaved strangely and was only able to translate the following words thanks to what I had engraved on the track - If you want to leave and return to where you belong, you will find the time. I didn't understand the message, but the fact that he is projecting this section or rather everything I have experienced until now, that I didn't know such a thing existed and distilled them from the helmet to the interface, I don't know if I'm angry that he started checking all the things I went through Or he managed to find something among all the strange things.

"These words. The same inscriptions that were written down and appeared at your assistant's and you engraved them, are not a fault or some code. They are signs of what is to come, of everyone's fate, and me"

"are you?" I asked innocently, not understanding what he was talking about, although I could understand the connection between all the things.

"Yes I am, I am the one related to time - Chronos, and I am the one who carved the fate of the earth and its transformations into 'T.H.E'."
