Jack stood inside the castle in the first room, waiting to be called to the throne room. Two guards stood in front of him and watched him closely.

'Don't worry,' he said, 'I'm not here to make trouble.'

'Thats what they all say,' the left guard said.

'And half of them are sheer liars!' the right guard said.



Talec appraoched the castle about ten minutes later...

The two guards greeted and let him in, waiting for his arrival.

'Your friend is in the first room,' one of the outside guards said, 'go in and see him. He seems abnormal.'

'He is,' Talec said, 'but not as you know it.'



Talec found Jack and apologised for his absense.

'What was that robot?' Jack asked.

'One of the things fron the future, they break through TIME sometimes ever since the incident.'

'Oh...right...' Jack said, wishing he hadn't asked.

'What is your purpose here?' the left guard said.

'We are here about a warp generator. Please do not worry the Queen about this. This is not her concern, I promise you.'

'She must know if one is to be taken, yet you will not have to meet her,' the right guard said, 'I will fetch the warp generator from the chambers, my friend will go and tell the Queen of your arrival and purpose.'

'Okay,' the left guard said, 'heading to the throne room.'

'May we ask why you require this item?' the right guard asked.

'It is complicated,' Talec said, 'it is best you do not know and worry about it.'

'Tell me abou it!' Jack said.



The right guard left in a hurry and returned about five minutes later with the generator. The left guard took a little longer, consulting the Queen about the generator being taken.

'She will accept you taking it,' the left guard said, 'but you MUST return it, understand?'

'Of course,' Talec said, 'we shall do so.'

'Here you go,' the right guard said, handing the generator to Jack. He took it yet didn't know how to properly hold it.

'He seems lost,' the left guard said to Talec about Jack.

'Indeed he is,' Talec said, ;he is lost in our world.'



The two then left, leaving the two guards curious and wondering what he meant.

They left the castle and headed outwards into an open field far from anywhere.



'Why are we here?' Jack asked.

'Because nobody must know what we are doing, otherwise people will get scared.'
