Chapter 1 [i]Deep in the town of future-known Denzi, Washington... in the year of 2104... lived a man known only for one thing...[/i] "You want fries with that, sir?" said Scott Masteren. "Nah, just a hamburger, Scott." What he fails to realize is he's Commander Scott Masteren of the Denzi Fleet, established in 2105. "Sorry, ma'am, we only take cash, Credit and Debit. Checks are invalid" Scott had another hour to go until he became the hero of the future. But first... "Yes, boss... I'll get their order in a second. They've just arrived, and the Mekenzas have been waiting 10 minutes now." --- Masteren: Ahhh... my shift's over. Now... to head over to the poker game with the guys. Just then, a man, somewhere around the same height of Scott, walked in. He is known as 'Logan' Logan: Hello, Scott. Masteren: Hello, Logan. I'm just getting off my shift. Need anything? Logan: Just to talk to you. Can we go outside? Masteren: Sure. What's up? Logan: I'll explain there. --- Outside, Logan explains 'what's up' Logan: It's a historic day today. Masteren: Sure, its the hottest day of the year, but... Logan: No, no... I mean its HISTORIC, not a RECORD. Masteren: I don't follow. Logan: Listen, we need Mark. (Mark is Mark Mentai, Scott's best friend and Best Man if Scott ever gets married) Masteren: Ok. I'm headin' there anyway--- Logan: And you may want to cancel your poker game. Masteren: How did... Logan: Later. Come on. Chapter 2 At Mark's house... Mentai: Hey Scott. Logan? What are you doing here? Logan: I will explain. Is anyone else around? Mentai: The guys decided to leave early for a party at some girl's house. What's wrong? Logan: Simple. You two must begin work on your ships. Scott was stunned to hear he said "ships", since he hasn't told anyone about the one-man hoverpilot ship. Masteren: You're telling me... Logan: Yes. I know about them. In fact, if you will... I've seen it. Now Scott was getting curious Masteren: But I haven't built it yet... so unless you looked at my plans for it... Logan: No, no... I've seen a future one. Mentai: Say WHAT? Logan: Now I'll explain in full. You two are founding members of the Denzi Fleet. I was destined to help you set it up. Mentai: So in other words... Logan: yep. I'm from the future. Masteren: Wait, wait... Denzi Fleet? Logan: the legion of Time Travelers that protect the timeline from being tampered with. Scott and Mark looked at each other and laughed. Logan: I fail to see the joke... Masteren: Ok, Logan (Mentai: If that's your name) Shut up, Mark. What proof do you have? Logan: Simple. My clothing is lined with Eutrhiim. Mentai: So where's this ship of yours? Logan: I'll summon it. Let's step outside. [b]Outside...[/b] Logan talked into his watch and said, "LTV 03, homing beacon activate." Mark and Scott started to chuckle when he did this, but almost as if lightning struck, the ship came down. Mentai: That's way too fast to be an Earth ship... Logan: That's the LTV 03, built in 2115. She's fast enough to get me where I wish to go. Masteren: Wait, wait... LTV 03? Wouldn't it be 125 or something? Logan: Between the time period of 2105 and 2115, the two Denzis alone were fine. Your real task doesn't begin until 2106. Mentai: Well... I suppose this is enough proof. Logan: Any more questions? Scott looked around and asked a question almost any human of the age would ask... Masteren: Will this be fun? Chapter 3 Logan: Well, now that we're on first name basis, Scott... I shall tell you mine. Masteren: I assumed it was Logan... Logan: No, I didn't want any of the future factions to know its me. I am Deima Zack Logan, commander of the Denzi Fleet, 4th in line to Marshall. Mentai: Deima? Is that like a respectable title or what? Logan: Well, its a respectable title to the Denzi Fleet.. to the other factions, its a title to kill for. If any of the other factions with Flux technology were to find me, I'd be dead before this day. Masteren: Flux? Logan: Flux Technology refers to Temporal Beacons, the glowing red things on my Denzi, and Temporal Bases. The method of Denzi Time Travel is through the Time Flux. Mentai: Hmm... is that Time Flux safe? Logan: Not exactly. It has the same basic principals of Space, but lacks in all its features, like it has constant oxygen and can nourish the body through many particles floating in it. The downfall is one of these particles causes what the Denzi call "Time Flux Disintegration", or TFD. Mentai: sounds dangerous... what protects from it? Logan: A radioactive-blocking compound called "Eutrhiim". My ship is lined with it. Masteren: Eutrhiim... wait... Mark, didn't you help invent that stuff? Mentai: yeah, I was one of the formula designers. I designed the compound used in the Light Gray color. Logan: Yeah, that's what my nose piece is made of. Masteren: So we helped make the Denzi Fleet by making Eutrhiim? Mentai: And if I remember right, Eutrhiim wasn't used for its purpose of Radioactive-blocking. Logan: No, Eutrhiim didn't work there, however the work was not in vain. Now then, we shall begin work on the Denzi Fleet within 6 hours. Sleep, you'll need it. Chapter 4 Scott woke up to find Logan already beginning to modify plans to his ship. Logan: ...and we change the underbelly out from Titanium to Eutrhiim... and then the engine design needs to be tan Eutrhiim... Oh, hello Scott. Masteren:: Hello. Having fun? Logan: No, I'm just modifying the LTV 02. Now, the best it can do is Warp 9 point 2. Masteren: Oh, that's all? Logan: Well, its such a small ship, so it can't go much faster than that. If we go over Warp 11, the ship might tear apart. Mentai: What's up? Logan: Oh, Mark... I modifyed the LTV 01 for you. I hope you don't mind, but it all had to be in White Eutrhiim... Mentai: Wait... White is the weakest type. What gives? Logan: And I didn't add a canopy. The body type is too small to hold one. Mentai: So I burn up when I try to fly to my future... Logan: No, its impossible to do so. You're immune. Masteren: Wait... Immune? How? Logan: we still haven't determined it, but we think it may have something to do with the Eutrhiim testing... an accident with the vats... Mentai: You mean the oils? Masteren: Oils? That must have hurt... Mentai: No, it was cold... and it was still under the boil mode, which was unusual... I should have been burned to the bone. Logan: That oil is part of the reason Eutrhiim is a protectant. It aborbs the particle that causes the desease and mutates it into Oxygen. Mentai: Ok... wait, what's this building plan? Mark picked up a small bulding blueprint and read the title out loud. Mentai: Temporal Denzi Observatory... Logan took the plans away Logan: I haven't modified those yet... Mark just stared and shrugged it off. Masteren: So when do we begin? Logan: 2 days from now, I'll go back to my century and ask for men to finish the Denzis. We cannot give you the future ones, those have been long in retirement... plus, if you get them, they'll only get worse as long as you drive it... long story. Chapter 5 Scott looked at this large ship that he's just received. Masteren: You SURE this is a small craft? Logan: Most asured. Mark, the TDO is near completion. Get into the LTV 01 and follow me. Mentai: Uh, HELLO? I have WHEELS on mine! Logan: There is an option to turn them off. Now, we FLY! Out in the Desert... Logan: Well? Mentai: This is all mine? Logan: Yes, you're in charge of it. You stay and watch the Time Flux while Scott and I go and ride out. Masteren came out an hour later Masteren: Oh yes... Now we're ready. Logan: Yes... now we're ready. Just then, a small alarm went off Logan: Our first problem... ready to ride, Scott? Masteren: Give the word.
