"In prior centuries humanity has made quite a few significant leaps into the future, amongst which is first and foremost, of course, colonisation of space. Rapid polution of Earth's atmosphere, water and soil made about an 80% of planet's surface unsuitable for adequate human activity. Add to that drastic shortage of living space and often famines and you get a time bomb ready to explode. Thankfully, that led many governers into the right direction of increasing the financing for space colonisation programs. In year __56 first extraterrestrial colony in within boundaries of Solar System has been successfully established. In following decades human civilisation has put its foot on more than 300 planets. What threatened to be humanity's doom turned out to be that one neccessary push towards progress and prosperity. Our universe turned out to be quite generous, harvesting other planets' resources sped up everything, at some moment we even learned to warp and bend space which eliminated the problem of long-distance spaceship travelling ... But something that to this day still remains in theoretical field only, something that is bound to be humanity's big "leap" is time travel. Unfortuantely, all the research projects in recent years have proven to be unsuccesfu, many researchers came to conclusion that the quest of putting a leash on time requires an extraordinarly big instant burst of energy - something that is yet not possible to produce using human-created technology, some of them hypothesised that amount of energy needed is produced during the process of star going supernova might be just about enough ...

- f**king hell, you're telling me now aliens are involved !!?
- You might say so, sir
- What are your sources ?
- Well, firstly, there about a dozen witnesses. Here are their photos and names. Nothing to worry, sir, the second they try to make their knowledge public they will be diagnosed and put into mental institutions for the rest of their days
- That's a relief ...
- Also there's quite a lot of electromagnetic, thermal and radioactive data readings. We're not quite sure what they mean as of yet but our people say the most likely variant is that we're talking about specimen's ship
- Ship ? Where ?
- That's the problem, sir, we were not able to identify its location yet. It must have some sort of cloaking technology
- Goddamit, bunch of lunatics claiming they saw an alien is one thing. But this is a f**king spaceship ! What if some moron stumbles upon it before you do ?
- Nothing to worry, sir, we took respective measures. If the object is found we will be the first to know and "discoverer" will be dealt with ...
- Good. What does that thing want ?
- Excuse me, sir ?
- Is it a friendly or non-friendly ? Does it want to share its lasers with us or does it want to make us a little crispier with them ?
- Hard to tell, sir. From the info we were able to gather it seems that creature prefers to not get into direct contact with humans
- A misantrope, huh ?
- You can call it that, sir. It carries a weapon though
- A weapon ?
- It was described as some sort of rifle ... firing a feet long needles. Quite painful but not lethal. Creature attacks only when provoked. It appears to be quite protective, mama bear of sorts
- You want to tell me ...
- I want to tell you, sir, that creature didn't arrive alone. There's another one, a smaller one ...

- Was the cloning process succesful ?
- Um, eeeeeh ... well ...I ...
- I'm waiting for an answer
- I'm sorry, darling, I was just thinking what to tell you ...
- And ?
- Well, you can call it a success ... and not a success
- That's a pity to hear ... Dr. Brain
- ... you know that I don't like when you call me that ... I HATE when you call me that
- Your feelings do not concern me, doctor. I saved your ass from goverment's investigators, remember ? All I want in return are results. Is that clear ?
- ... yes
- Good, Would be a shame if we had to .. break our deal
- ...
- Wipe your lobe clean, doctor, and tell me what do you have
- Um .. well, I ... we couldn't quite replicate original's physical features
- I see. He's even uglier than the boy
- Yes. But I'm sure if we dress him in the costume and make him keep his distance nobody will know the difference
- For your sake, doctor
- Yes, um ... subject shows significantly high parameters in strenght, speed and agility and ...
- Will he be able to punch through a concrete wall ? Or, well, I don't know, a steel vault door ?
- Huh ? Ah, yes, yes, of course, we ran some tests, he'll be able to deal with such obstacles
- You told me that you were not completely succesful though
- Well, um, uh ... I ...um ... we ...
- Courage up, doctor, we all have to admit to our failures sometimes
- Well, while subject's physical parameters meet our most generous predictions, his, um, intelectual powers leave something to be desired
- Simpler words, doctor
- Well, to put it bluntly, he's not very smart, he's somewhere at 14-15 years old level. He's quite unstable emotionally as well, It's hard to contain his ... emotional outbursts sometimes. I think I told you that technology you ... retrieved had some limitations and ...
- Are you accusing me of something ... doctor ?
- Me !? No, NO, of course no ! I'm just saying there're some ... imperfections, that's all
