Synopsis

Chapter 1 - <0> Prolog

*crash* *rumble* *shattering of glass*

A woman can be seen desperately running toward the center of the island. The ground is shaking, massive trees are falling, weird animals running away from the source of the coming disaster. Every living creature can feel its impending doom. But amidst the noise of destruction and despair, she is running toward the center of what should be her end. Her face shows determination, despite the hopeless situation she runs, while avoiding danger skillfully, as if she was used to danger and death. She is determined not exactly to live but to not waste the lives of people who sacrificed themselves for her to live.

Finally, she reached the center of the island. She runs into a ruined building looking like some research center or hospital. She skillfully avoids falling debris and reaches the entrance of the basement. Without waiting she immediately walks toward a high-tech security system. She puts her left hand on the control monitor and her right hand on her temple. With her long bushy hair moved by her hand, you can see the device integrated into her head. It looks futuristic, and if you look closely dim blue and purple light is passing under her skin. At first look, it looks like veins, but in reality, those are biomechanic lines linking and integrating the device with her brain. The device only can be seen slightly under her hair most of the device is already fused with her brain.

With the use of the device, she breaks security and opens the door in front of her. She hastily walks into a spacious room. It looks like a laboratory. She immediately runs to a big computer, in front of which is a partly destroyed monitor. It shows data about the island and its current predicament.

[How long until activation?] She asks despite being alone.

{1min 37 sec} She hears a mechanical response inside her head.

[What the state of preparation?]

{It's complete, but due to lack of time and hasty preparations there might be errors during "jump" }

[I don't have time]

*Shaking* *Loud noise of destruction*

She loses her balance, but immediately steady herself and continues.

[Now the only thing we need is a large amount of energy, I have an idea]

{1min 3sec, You mean using energy from the explosion of antimatter bomb?}

[Yes, it seems like it was researched on this island before it was abandoned. Sys, What are estimations of success?]

{0,4% success, 99,6% failure}

[Well, I die if I won't do it so I don't see the reason to not try]

{29sec, I advise to start Operation "JUMP"}

[This island is going to be destroyed, by the government in 25sec anyway so let's start "jump"]

The woman then walks up end connected the device in her head to the machine in the middle of the laboratory. It was something she worked on since she started to live in this laboratory. Its purpose is to send data from now to the past. It uses a device(Sys) in her head as a medium. If "jump" succeeds then data from the last decade will be sent to the time she came in contact and integrated Sys for the first time. But to cross the dimension of time not only medium is needed, but also an enormous amount of energy. That's why she, Kassandra, decided to detonate an experimental antimatter bomb and use the energy produced during the explosion.

{Acctivation Operation "JUMP"- COMPLETE}

7 sec.

{Preparing Data. . . - COMPLETE}

6 sec.

{Compressing Data. . . . . - COMPLETE}

4 sec.

{Erasing "noise". . . -COMPLETE} Unneeded thoughts risk higher failure rate.

3 sec.

{Acctivation Antimatter Bomb. ..- IN PROCESS}

2 sec.

{Commencing Sending Data. . . }

1 sec.

[Goodbye "Island OF Hell", welcome new possibilities] Was Kassandra's last words. Her eyes showing excitement and anticipation for the future, or in her case PAST.

{Transfer COMPETE} At that moment the bomb blows up, Device's AI Complete consumes all energy produced by the antimatter bomb and completes the operation.

*Boooooom*

Island is destroyed by the government trying to hide secrets of the island, but they don't know that Kassandra has her plans for the island in another timeline.
