Cheyanne was the first to enter, with a curt warning to be cautious from her human. Tiffany followed her. She careful climbed into the metal contraption, and pulled a chain which turned on a light. The air was musty, and dust showed clearly on all of the buttons, knobs and consoles. In ways, it was very primitive looking, but yet very sophisticated and advanced. Two seats sat in front of a large window, and what appeared to be the main controls. Cheyanne bounded forward and leapt easily into one of the chairs, motioning to a rolled up note on the console with her tail. “Read.” She demanded, as she entwined her tail around her front leg.
Tiffany stepped forward, sat in the next seat, and carefully unraveled the piece of paper. She began to read aloud.
Welcome to the Delta 5. You’re probably wondering what it is?
“No duh.” The cat interrupted, and twitched her tail. Tiffany simply ignored her, and continued to read.
All in good time, I assure you. My name is Dr. Siegfried Narmon. I created this ship, and named it the Delta 5. The Delta 5 has a highly complex array – well, you don’t need to know that. It’s not important. Anyway, the Delta 5 is a time traveling machine. To go somewhere, simply set the chronometer to a year. There’s a dial for year and a dial for BC or AD. Once specified, press the blue button, and the Delta 5 will take you to a special place in that time frame. It decides where you go, you decide when. Now, there is a matter of communication. If you go back very far, the people you meet won’t speak English. In a small box under this console, you’ll find to small blue devices. Fasten them to yourselves, (t-shirts will do) and you will be able to communicate. Good luck on your travels.
Sincerely,
Dr. Siegfried Narmon
November 18th, 1942
Cheyanne searched under the console until she came across the box. Opening it, she picked up two shiny blue devices, and dropped them in Tiffany’s hand. She bounced back into her seat, and looked expectantly at her human friend, who had a dazed look in her eyes, as she fumbled with the devices. They looked like sapphires, she noted.
Finally, she looked at Cheyanne. “Chey,” she began. “If we do this - and if it works, we have to be careful. We can not tamper with the time line, okay?” The cat nodded briefly, and craned her neck so Tiffany could fasten the blue chip onto her equally blue collar. Tiffany fastened the other chip onto her shirt, and returned her gaze to the cat in the co-pilot position. “What year?” she asked the night-colored feline who gave a lick to her silky shoulder before replying. “How about… BC. But not to BC. I don’t want to have to deal with any t-rex, thank you much. The poodle is bad enough.” The cat made a face thinking of her human’s dad’s poodle, Rusty. They always fought, and hated each other with a passion. Her human didn’t like him any better though.
Tiffany chuckled, catching the cat’s expression. “How does 1500 BC sound then?” she queried. “Sounds good!” the cat exclaimed, as Tiffany carefully set the dials. Tiffany shot the cat a look, as the cat extended her tail and placed it in her human’s palm – the human equivalent of holding hands. “Let’s get the rock out of here!” she grinned, quoting a favorite song. Tension filled the air, and flooded senses as Tiffany pressed the blue button.
The door began to automatically close behind them, as the Delta 5 unearthed itself. Suddenly, a ray of bright light surrounded them. The lights on the console flickered, as the main light went off. The explorers’ eyes grew wider then ever as The Delta 5 picked itself off, and shot upward. The world began to zoom out under them. It wasn’t long before the entire town of Scorn was visible, then the Missouri River were seen. Not long after, both oceans were visible. Clouds were seen over the Rockies, as they continued their ascent. When they finally reached the deep black of space, they stopped. The stars flickered around them, and they shot each other a glance of fear and confusion.
Suddenly, the world stopped spinning. Had they stopped time, and become stuck in space? But the world began to spin again, except in the opposite direction. It spun faster and faster, until it was all a blur, and suddenly stopped. For some reason, it looked different, and the ship started to fall. It plummeted through the atmosphere, but not towards Scorn – towards Africa. It became closer and closer to the earth. The ship showed no signs of slowing, and Cheyanne leapt into her human’s arms, as they both feared for their lives. The Nile River was soon visible, and scattered trees could be made out among the barren land. Tiffany held her beloved companion tight, as the ship halted, seconds before crashing into the earth. |  |  |  |  |
