Welcome to Gaia! ::

Dominique after finishing showing the crew to their quarter's headed back up to the control room. The machine was really moving now and even she found breathing was getting to be a little difficult. She went to the panel and took another spray and injected herself with it. Taking a deep breath she turned back to the machine. Only about an hour now... we'll have to do introductions after the shift back in time. Going back about 3000 years in the past the first stop is to feudal japan for Aaron's staff. Last known and slightly obscure reference to it was that it was located in a temple. She frowned not sure if that was completely right. "Oh well too late now the machine is set." She commented to herself and activated the com. system. Attention all research and field mission members please report to the control room to prepare for departure. All other staff should report to their quater's for the jump and annoculate themselves with the provided anesethic in half an hours time. She turned the system off and then sat down and waited. We should have a conference before departure and no one's going anywhere in the last half hour.

"We're nearing the time when the machine will really begin to take affect. I wanted us all to be together when it happens and to debreif everyone on just exactly what's going to happen next. Which time periods we're going to, how long the machine is going to take to activate again after we "jump" and what we're going to do about our friend down in the brig." Dominique informed Misty. She looked mildly apprehensive. "Also the way the machine is designed we may have to return back to our present time briefly before going to another time frame."

OoC- K see the whole going back to this time period before each of the next jumps I'm going to leave up to you guys cause I don't know if there's other things that will need to be done here after each relic we collect. If it'd just be an inconvience then I will despense with my explanation of "why" we'd need to go back.

"Well I'd say just over an hour really." Dominique said glancing back at the machine. It was really moving now. "I hope the other's get here. I want to briefly explain how this is all going to work and then hopefully we can get down to buisness about other issues... did you find out his name?" Dominique asked looking back at Misty. She was still antsy about the stranger.

"Seems too cute a name for someone who seems so tormented." Dominique realising that she hadn't been in the room with them felt she had to explain. "I saw him tossing around alot in his sleep on the monitor. He seem's to be really pained about something."

"Ouch not a very pleasant life it sounds..." Dominique said shaking her head. "People on the brink tend to be easy to control... he may prove more difficult to protect then we first expected. The cortical probe may not be enough." She sighed looking off into space (literally). "We're going to have to be very careful if we take him down to earth with us... there's no telling what mischief we may end up in."

"You're a kind hearted and trusting person Misty... I hope no one tries to take advantage of that..." Dominique turned around and leaned against the panel lost in thought.

*dreaming* No...You again? Wah-what are you doing? You can't! I know what you are doing! *Misty suddenly appears* Misty! Get out of here, you don't know what you are getting yourself into, go back before it is too late, he is very dangerous...He is the one who created Dark Force...I am one of them, the first...
*wakes up in panic* MISTY! *deep breathing*
