Time Warp (20 page)

Carl regained balance and left almost at once, he found Jan in the control room clinging to the doorway talking to Maya, this seemed odd since Carl once had the feeling that these two would definitely not get on together. However, their surroundings were different from what they were before; being the only humans onboard somehow brought the women closer together

Jan turned to
face Carl as he approached, being pleased to see him. Maya smiled at Carl, who made him slightly blush, however Maya’s attention was soon drawn towards Jeramaya as he steadily approached the ships control room. Jan noticed Maya had her eye on the captain, and why shouldn’t she they were both very attractive, and Jan thought they would make the perfect couple. Carl noticed how Maya reacted once Jeramaya was close by her side; in some way, it reminded him of Jessie, and how she used to tease him forever trying to get his attention, Which also reminded him of the gruesome methods that Sonard’s man had used, stringing her to the wall, taking the very life from her?

“Activating warp drive, in 9-8 seconds and counting,” said gale

Jeramaya instructed Carl and his friends to take a seat, and to strap themselves in tightly, once the ship reached a certain point, traveling at the vast speeds needed to achieve time travel. Gale would need to sharply, bank the ship hard, once they reached the 90-deg point. At this precise moment, she would also switch polarity on their warp drive, enabling them to travel through time and space, in to the unknown bringing them to the closest year as possible so maybe they could trace Adameus. Jeramaya and his crew would now be traveling deep into the past, a time were everything stood different to what it is today, they would be traveling to the year 1530, the same year of the great plague hoping to find Adameus. Who was thought to have inspired Nostradamus to write cryptic verses, hoping to warn humankind of the events that were to take place throughout our future? Although, none of these prophesies would have been taken seriously, only until after the event had taken place, being too late for anyone to react, try and prevent these catastrophes from ever happening.

                    Adameus

W
hen Adameus was cast out into the past by Sonard, for not agreeing with his plans to infect man hoping to erase him from the planet forever, Adameus found himself in a distant world primitive from his kind. He survived on shrubs, and any form of fruit the forest could provide, until one day a group of monks came across his deselect soul taking him it to their care. Foods, clean clothing were provided for him, however simple they might have seemed they had helped Adameus to survive.

They took him with them across the pastures of France, until they arrived at a place called Mote San Michael, built in 709 by Saint Albert
. The monastery within offered them sanctuary, and Adameus had adapted quickly to his new surroundings were he soon developed their native tongue, being able to communicate between the other monks.

Everyone soon recognized his intelligence and knowledge, as Adameus began to lecture them on primitive scientific, methods to help this small society contain
ed within their magnificent fortress. He would offer them medical advice, to help deal with the plague that had encrusted this beautiful country, and teach mathematics to the other monks, forever hoping to push them technically forward. However, he still kept in mind that this type of primitive people were not yet ready to deal with the advanced knowledge that Adameus was capable of providing, although, he did created a laboratory which he conducted simple experiments, delivering herbal solutions for the people of these times.

As the years went by, Adameus knew his fate lay within the monastery walls, he was content with the primitive life which he had adapted too, and would spent endless hours inside his laboratory mixing herbs and chemicals to deal with the infectious diseases that invaded the lands
. Adameus had found his place within this new society not ever imagining how important he would become in the future of our planet, until a blinding light entered his very own laboratory. Adameus knew at once that this could only mean one thing, and turned towards the light expecting to see Sonard, only instead he saw a tall figure of a man wearing a distinctive uniform that he had once worn. His course curly hair stood out from the time zone which they were in, Adameus stared at the man frightened by his appearance until he spoke,” Adameus is this you?” asked Carl.

“Who
seeks Adameus?” he asked, only he spoke in French.

Carl under stood what Adameus had asked, since he had studied French at school, his lips stumbled for the words and
replied, “My name his Carlos, Sent here by Jeramaya.”

Adameus was silent, the name Jeramaya rang a bell bringing back memories of his own planet, however, Adameus was coerces in responding, he knew this could be some sort of a trick which could lead him to be accused of sorcery, leading him to be burnt at the stake.

“I know of no one by that name! Be gone with you,” he replied.

Carl knew Adameus feared him and began to describe the
world, as he knew it, over 500 hundred years into the future. He explained what Sonard had created, how the probe was activated infected his own race, and why Jeramaya was sent on a mission to stop Sonard. Adameus listened realizing that Carl spoke the truth, although, he was still not convinced if Sonard had put him up to this or not.

Carl continued to explain how he found the pendent device, and how he had managed to activate it,
“that’s a lie!” Shouted Adameus, “Only one of our kind can activate such a device.” Carl took out the pendent from his pocket and held it in his hand, Adameus looked on, waiting to see if what Carl was claiming to be a half bread was true or not. The needle like prong pierced Carl’s skin, and began to analyze his blood, while the top half of the pendent began to open. Adameus stared shocked by all of this, “oh my god what has Sonard done, these were never our intentions.”

“It’s
ok Adameus, Jeramaya came back in time to put things straight, and restored balance to this planet”, said Carl. “But that is impossible! You would have to travel to the very beginning of time,” said Adameus. “That is why we came back to this time period to find you, so you can help us track down Sonard in the past.”

“ Look here young m
an the only reason you found me is because I stayed inside the same time zone, not like Sonard did, we traveled across a variety of times, dates ranging from the very beginning of mankind,” said Adameus. “That’s where you’re wrong! We knew the exact year in which to find you, since you left your mark in our history,” replied Carl.

“What
on earth are you on about,” said Adameus.

Carl was a bit confused by his words, and began to explain how he discovered that Adameus must have influenced Nostradamus using telepathy, to inspire him to write
events, which were to happen hundreds of years ahead of his time. Leading Jeramaya and his crew to return to the very some time period that Nostradamus had lived, in order to find him.

”
That is ridiculous young man! I have not, and have no intentions of influencing no one,” replied Adameus. “That’s impossible, if it was not for Nostradamus, we would have never have found you,” said Carl.

Adameus was silent, as his superior knowledge of time travel began to kick in, bringing theories into
facts; he knew that in some way that what Carl was implying could be true. However, this could only mean one thing. That for some unforeseen reason Sonard must have developed a time lapse that would continue repeating itself until someone broke the chain. However, to break it now could have serious consequence, meaning Adameus knew he must have influenced Nostradamus somewhere in a different time zone, meaning he would have to do the same thing again in order to keep the chain moving.

Adameus continued thinking about the man that Carl had mention, he had once spoken with him and knew he was a physician, and treated the people who were suffering from the plague, that swept through their lands
. He had also provided Nostradamus with herbal remedies and chemical compounds, which he used to wash the abscess caused by the plague. Although, he knew Nostradamus was not a philosopher, like Carl had described him as being, which meant it was up to Adameus to teach him the very science he would need to carry the messages through to our own times, in the future.

Carl however, sat their waiting for Adameus to answer his question, whether he would return to their ship and help them find Sonard,
“no I am afraid I cannot come with you”, replied Adameus

“What
do mean you can’t and why not?”

“ Because you see Carl if what you say is true, then that means somewhere in the near futu
re I must have done what you said, and influenced this man you call Nostradamus, and since this has not yet happened, leaving now could break the time loop?”

“What
time loop!” said Carl?

“Never
mind Carl, you must go back to Jeramaya and tell him to travel to the very beginning of mankind. Once he reaches this stage, he is to activate the ships scanner, and continue traveling into the past at a very slow pace. Once he picks up Sonards reception, he could then travel to the precise date where he will find me and Sonard, before we created man as he is today.”

Carl knew Jeramaya would not be pleased if he returned empty handed, and tried hard to convince Adameus to come with him, although Adameus knew he
did not have much of a choice. Leaving now could upset the time loop leaving his own race helpless in overcoming the virus that was destroying his very own people.

Finally,
Carl agreed to what Adameus proclaimed, although, there still was one slight problem, and that was convincing Adameus to stop experiments all over again in a different time zone. Carl knew it was hard enough convincing him now, let alone when Adameus still trusted Sonard over in another time period. Only Adameus had already thought of that, and handed Carl his ring telling him that once Jeramaya finds him again to show him the ring, and he would know that whatever he says would be the truth.

” Yea right, and what makes you so sure that you would believe us just by showing you this ring?” asked Carl.

“Because no body or mass can occupy the same space, unless it is of the same body?” answer Adameus. “And what the hell is that suppose to mean? “ Said Carl

Adameus opened a small draw and took out a pendent, similar to the one call had laid on the table, only in fact it was exactly the same one coming from different time zones,” now watch carefully,” Adameus said. Carl looked at the same pendants that lay close to one another on the table, he eagerly watched as Adameus began to push them slowly together, when the most remarkable thing happened
. Since the pendants were the same, only coming from different time zones, as Adameus pushed them together they slide neatly into one another, becoming just one.

” You see Carl
, because they are of the same body, they can occupy the same space. Once you hand me the ring, if what you are telling me in the past is true, then the same thing would happen with the rings.

”
Carl stood their amazed not believing what he had just seen.

” Now go my son return to your ship and do as I ask of you,” said Adameus.

Carl nodded his head, stepped backwards, and pressed the small button on his location band; a strong light soon followed engulfing his entire body. With in an instant Carl disappeared into thin air, leaving Adameus once again on his own.

Adameus knew what he had to do, and was glade his people had not forgotten about him,

Almost at once, he set out on his quest to find Nostradamus, to give him the knowledge he needed to write the cryptic, verses that would lead to his great prophesies that are still with us until this very day.

Jeramaya and his crew traveled swiftly though the darkened skies, while stars slightly shimmered their glowing lights, as they traveled though time and space, forever hoping to track down Sonard. Carl had already briefed Jeramaya, about his visit with Adameus, explaining what had to be done in order to gain his pursuit of sonard. Jeramaya held on tightly to the ring, Adameus had given Carl hoping to win Adameus’es trust, once he finds him in a different time zone.

Gale, Jeramaya’s on board computer, franticly scanned the airways as they traveled through time, hoping to track down any signals being omitted from Sonards cruiser.

Which would allow them to pin point, what year Sonard and his crew combined, their own jeans with the primitive ape like being, almost 700,000 years into the past, creating a new species that gained dominance on the earth.

Carl remained solely in his quarters, as thoughts rambled through his mind, wondering what had become of his friends Jason and nick, or even what would become of them once Jeramaya succeeds in erasing the past that Sonard had created.
