Part One

"A note to the keeper"

Addellar entered the cargo room, finding a place behind some stacked containers, and took out a trans-missive recording device. She felt nervous as she considered what to say in her last transmission, before the trip - knowing countless things could go wrong... She turned on the device.

"Sansul, I can no longer hide easily here, I am too close to capture and I will not risk our mission. I've stolen the intergalactic translocation orb, so this will be my last transmission until further notice. Alert all working operatives that I will no longer be in my body after this, Do not attempt to engage me while translocation is active.

I am unsure if I will survive the trip back, or if this will even work at all. If I do not make contact within two system years, assume I am irretrievable. In five minutes the device, which I've hidden, will remotely activate via implant controller. Continue the mission directive and remember- If we do not destroy their ruling, we will never have peace.

Addellar Out." The recording device beeped as it forwarded the message. "Done, here I go into the unknown." She laid down amidst the various cargo containers around her, and withdrew a small piston injector from her bag and stuck it in her arm, it hissed as it injected the sedative. "Any moment now.." she whispered as she began to drift to sleep.

It was only another minute before a slight buzzing started in her head, it rapidly grew more and more intense, like having turbines spinning in her head- then the trip began.

A moment of complete darkness overtook her sight and mind, followed with a sudden surging visual of the small transport ship her body was in, and then it was gone, a spec in the horizon until the system itself began to fade from view as her mind zipped through system after system at an impossible speed, until eventually all the images blurred together into what she could only see as a mashed up radiant blur of light and color.

Part 2

London, Earth-

"HELLO? Alex, Get up mate, we gotta go now!" A loud banging on Alex's door followed the sound of his partner's voice yelling to him. It took him a moment to realize what was happening. "Oh shit!" he yelled, attempting to ready himself, "Just hold on a minute, yea!" he yelled out as he rushed over to a strewn pile of clothes.

He quickly worked to dress himself, almost throwing himself into the doorway as he struggled with a pair of black slacks. "Uhh I'm comin'!" He grabbed his coat and things before he flung himself out his front door.

"Hey, we're already late." Ernie grumbled to him, Get in the car mate, let's not get a pink slip today, Christ!"They briskly made toward the car while Alex struggled to fit his coat on. "Okay Erns, sorry about the whole sleeping late thing- but uh, what's on the agenda for today?"

Ernie rolled down his window and lit a smoke, "Well", he paused to take a drag, "Well you know, Douglas, he says they got somethin' on Villanel, like it's a solid lead maybe, I think we'll finally have a go at him soon." Alex shrugged, "Well let's say we do, aren't we just inviting a war on our people? You know, his thugs have a bit of a death wish, I heard once, one of his men took out a whole squad all suicide bomber style- it's not exactly a thing I want to be named for in the papers, Erns."

Ernie chuckled, a big puff of smoke billowing out and he gave a slight cough, "Yea, but this time we've got all hands on deck mate, I'm talkin' choppers, canines, armored trucks, snipers- once we get the evidence together, Villanel's empire is gonna fall, and it's about bloody time too."

Ernie pulled the car up to the parking garage's gate, the both of them flashed their badges to the attendant- pulling in as the gate quickly lifted up. Alex starting feeling somewhat of a headache coming on, a rush of dizziness hit him as Ernie pulled into their parking spot.

Alex groaned a bit as he left the car, Ernie saw Alex reeling after sort of slamming the car door, hand still clinging to the handle. Ernie quickly dropped his cigarette and went over to him, his hands on both of Alex's shoulders, "You okay mate? A bit hung over eh, you're lookin' a little pale." Ernie said, scanning Alex's face. His eyes were a big glossy, face somewhat pale, but he seemed off. "No, erns, just got this migraine coming on I think, I'll be okay- let's just head in.

Ernie and Alex started walking toward the lift. Alex suddenly felt the migraine hit him hard, as a horrible buzzing like a hundred bees inside his head began. "ARGH," He cried out! He grasped for Ernie as he fell to the ground,'What in the holy fuck!?" he followed with. He laid writhing on the concrete. Ernie knelt down beside him,"oh shit, SHIT! don't worry mate I'm gonna call a bus, just hang in there." Ernie got on his radio, "HQ this is Ernie Anderson, we are gonna need some medics and probably a bus down here in the parking garage, we're by the lifts. I think my partner Alex is having a bloody seizure! Hurry up get them down here dammit!"

Alex's sight of the garage faded to black as the buzzing intensified.

Just as soon as his sight went black, he began to see a flash of light- then he watched as he saw the whole city of London flying away beneath him. Next, all the continents, until he could only see the Earth becoming just a small blue ball as he rushed further away. Then the whole solar system swished by him, until it was gone- the colors and lights from the entire galaxy began to blindingly blur together as a smudge of bright mishmash of colors , until it faded again to blackness.
