Prologue
Time was in chaos. It
was swirling, the past of one planet meeting the annihilation of another, the
forming of an asteroid belt meeting its own destruction, and in one universe, a
woman was watching it all.
“All of this…caused by
one man,” she commented to her companion. She crossed her arms across her chest
as another planet flew apart. “Sometimes, I hate my job.”
The man chuckled.
“Liar,” he rebutted. “You love solving puzzles. And this is the biggest doozy
any of us have ever seen.”
“So, why call a rookie
in, Frank?” She turned to face the older man, her bright blue eyes searching

“Which one?”
“Lyn Pahr.”
Flinching as a comet

“That’s one of the
things I love about you, Jane, you like to get straight to business.” Frank
held out a small padd. “Here’s everything you need to know.”
She glanced at the

“Good choice of words.”
Jane’s face fell. “I
have to use the temporal transporter? Ugh.”
“Everyone has to do it
at least once.”
“Yeah, I know,” she
replied, shrugging. “This should be fun.”
Jane studied the images
before her. Lyn Pahr, originally known as Lynpahr of Culzarak, stood regally beside
a dark and solemn Vulcan man. The timeline was twisted and circled back upon
itself.
I wonder if anyone else has figured this out…She shook herself. Of course they had, they were the experts.
So they gave it to me, because they know what will happen once the timeline is
repaired. She looked out the window, angst written on her face.
I
will cease to exist…
