There was a bright light and suddenly I was back at the warehouse, and I was sitting with my back to a crate. On my left side was the door that Adam spoke about, with a cloak on the ground beside it. On my right was a blade in a scabbard; I got up, picked it up and unsheathed it, revealing the blade. It looked like no other blade on Earth and I noticed its odd curves on the reverse. There were also five markers, which glowed a dull red; the sword was silver with a shiny blade and there was a groove on the hilt like a trigger. Scabbard in one hand, I raised the blade and held it vertically, its point in the air; I pulled the trigger and heard the blade roar. I felt a wave wash over me and I noticed the blue shimmer of the blade and the red glow of one of the markers. I brought the blade down in a true arc across the crate and for a moment nothing happened…

​

Then the groan of the wood was heard as the top half slid to the ground. Sharp blade... I thought as I walked towards the door. I wore the cloak and strapped my blade, facing the very normal looking door with a golden handle; considering my new mission. I believed in its truth and I believed it was right; I had felt a nagging before which had now ceased, now that I knew the truth. I guess I always knew, maybe I never truly believed in this new anti-NWO Brethren. Adam would say it is all about perception, your perspective, my perspective…With that thought, I turned the knob and opened the door.

​

It was utterly dark and the little light given off by the path before me was all but eaten by the darkness. There was nothing to do but walk and so I walked but as I followed the path I thought... I had always believed in my purpose and myself, everything else was just a condition, this was the reality that I believed. My thoughts were interrupted when I saw another door, my exit. This place felt uncomfortable like creatures watched me from beyond and I was grateful to leave.

I turned the knob, crossed the threshold and found myself inside a building. I squatted behind a crater and scoped the area. I knew where I was and it was definitely not Africa, I thought, as I saw snow falling on the other side of the window. Was this was Section Twelve? A new project, a building for implementing and maintaining Brethren cells; but as far as I knew, it was still under construction.

There was a workstation ahead of me but there were military men everywhere and then I saw General Tani. If he is here, then here is where the problem will be solved. I continued to scope the room and I noticed another access point not far from my current position. Quickly, while maintaining cover, I made my way and retrieved information on the building and its occupants. I confirmed what I had thought, this was Section Twelve and the console for the launch of the HARRP systems was in this building, on the top floor. My plan was simple; head to the console and nullify the threat, then arrest General Tani for questioning.
 

I could see the service elevator not far from here; well then, I thought, let us put the Traveller's talk of reality to the test. I believed that I was invisible and I strolled in plain view towards the elevator. Maybe it worked maybe it didn't,  either way I wasn't seen and so I continued up the building towards the console. I got there to find the crystalline being waiting for me. It stood in all its glamour in front of the console and I knew that I would have to get through it but without knowing how, I also knew a truth; it was half itself and so half its strength. It may have heard my thoughts the way it laughed and it approached me calmly, as I had seen it do to others. I could no longer control my rage towards it, this thing that killed my brethren. (tbc...)
