Halcyon: Part oneBlake Indigo:More Like This
Silence is not a sin. But I cannot simply stand idly by, knowing that the actions that come next will hurt many, or aware that others are suffering in silence, and knowing I could have done something to stop it. I can’t just watch the world I know burn around me.
My name is Blake Archibald Indigo, agent of the Ministry of Defence, an agency of the Terran Commonwealth that protects the general public and it’s interests. Four months ago, had you stripped me of my wealth, and my depression, I would have been your average human teenager on a parallel earth where normal involves interstellar travel, magic, and a multi-species society. And that changed one night when a young human named Glenn Kame turned into a werewolf, now commonly known as a lycan, and things went on from there as a group of sociopathic hunters laid waste to the minority race’s social structure, and changing life on Terra.
This is not that story.

“Yeah. We may have to.” I said noticing a large door open by Ryan’s perch, big enough for him to fit though but it was still a tight squeeze. The corridor it lead down was slightly bigger, and two humanoid robots, easily ten foot each came towards us. They weren’t the same model as the nannybots, but they were a more resent model, despite the fact they had accumulated a bit of rust. I’d say it was about twenty years since they saw the factory line. That’s old for a robot.

The story so far... In the beginning, the universe was created. It’s excepted by the major religions and science that it all started with a big bang. But the explosion was powerful enough to shatter the fabric of reality. And then, from the nature of time, possibilities began to branch out as parallel universes. As time moved on, the more outcomes occur, the more universes there are. But slowly, the shattered fabric begins to decay. And one day, thanks to the resulting scars, these parallel universes have become accessible.
In one universe, a Parallel Earth known as Terra, a spacecraft crashed into the north coast of France in 1971.
