no prob
oh here's the opening scene for Daxium
In a darkened room an older man in his sixties sat alone. The only light in the room was the faint glow of the computer screen. He waited patiently just staring at it. Before long the screen started to warp and twist. He didn’t panic , this is what he was waiting for. Eyes glancing at the door briefly he said, “Is everything ready?”
“Almost,” an ethereal voice spoke to him. “The time table may have to be altered.”
“There’s no need to do that,” he insisted.
“Dimensional breaches have been becoming more and more frequent,” the voice informed him. “There is some concern a larger entity may be next.”
“That’s why I created that special task force,” he argued. “Hell if it wasn’t for those first few things showing up I never would have been able to get it off the ground.”
“The entities coming through in the future would be much larger than the ones you currently face.”
“How much larger can they be?”, he demanded.
“Our latest report indicate they can be as large as the building in the places you call cities.” He couldn’t say anything to that, he was too busy trying to imagine it and that boggled his mind. “We have chosen a candidate, have you chosen one as well?”
“Yes,” he answered still thinking about the size, “yes I have.”
“We wish there was another way.”
“It’s a war, sacrifices must be made. I understand that completely. We will be ready.”
“Hopefully both our sides will be.” The screen started returning to normal. Soon it was like nothing happened. He sat there for a long time looking at it.
Turning on a desk light he picked up the phone and dialed a particular number. Waiting for a few moments he finally heard, “Yeah Dad?”
“I’ve heard from our friends,” he said. “The breaches are happening faster than they anticipated.”
“It would explain why we’ve been so busy lately. Are we going to have to do this faster now?”
“Apparently,” was his only answer.
“Well I’m ready for it.” Quiet for a moment he said, “What am I going to tell the others?”
“We’ll worry about it when we get there. Although we could avoid all of this if you would just take that command position like I told you to. I have enough pull that I can still get it for you.”
“Dad we went through already. “I’m having a hard enough time being seen as one of the guys as it is. Forcing my way to a top rank isn’t going to help matters any.”
“Have it your way,” he said giving up, for now. “Just be ready Joseph.”
“I will Dad, see you soon.”
Hanging up the phone he muttered, “He picks the worst times to show his independence.”
