Andy walked out from the meeting room straight to a long hall leading to his room. The hall had soldiers positioned like statues every column. The Soldiers increased as they reached his room, Malcolm dismissed him self as Andy entered his room numbered 102. He sighs at the sight of the impossible normal looking room white fine furnishing and sub-standard furniture. He sat on the couch, placing his legs on the coffee table, from where he sat, he could feel the waves passing, it reminds him of a cradle, slow moving, almost non existent, but still there.

Most of the United States sunk during the shakes, and everyone important was evacuated, but do to terrible weather surrounding the continents, most of them didn't survive, only a few influential people survived, and Andy was one of them, the most influential apparently as he was now appointed the new President. The survivors were sent in a warship somewhere in the Atlantic Sea near the coast of Puerto Rico. The others on warships similar to the one where the government officials were sent.

Until the lands are tested to be safe from any unwanted eruptions, they cannot return.

Andy sighs practically relaxing, yet his mind was restless, he stands up and looks out to the balcony, he steps out greeted by the sea breeze, he saw a flock of bird fly by in a V formation, they were migrating from somewhere, but where would they go now, Andy wondered.

The ship out of no where shook like it was placed on flat ground, Andy was not surprised. "So it has begun." He said. The wind shifted and the sky impossibly grew darker.

Wish-woosh, the waves joined the wind, the ship would shake every now and then, and stop. Alarms sound off, red blinking lights bleeped every corner, warning everyone of unknown danger. Soldiers ran from corridor to corridor, saluting to the high ranking officers, there guns around their shoulder, prepared for any form of attack.

They were all in position, it was as if they were prepared for any form of attack, then another shake came, this time followed by a loud growl.

Light as bright as day light shot open from every corner of the ship, it moved left to right in syncronicity with the others, it was searching for something.

BLEEP

The sonar bleeped from the bridge.

"Captain, we got something." a soldier said.

"How far?" Impatiently, the captain demanded an answer.

"Not far, but it's moving quick?"

"How quick?" The questions were never ending, then the bleeping sound speeds up. "North, 10 kilomiters away, its moving at immeasurable speed sir, faster than light."

Then miraculously, the threat disappears. "Well?" The captain asks, sending Morse Code to other ships. "It's... It's gone."

He did not lie, but something hit the ship, followed by gun shut from left to right.

"It's here!" The captain yells, the soldier sounds the siren from the outside warning everyone else, but before he could do it continuously, something caught him, it came through the thick metallic walls of the ship, something big and dark in color, it dripped something acidic, something dark like ink. It looked like a giant a worm, no a tentacle. Up close, it had faces embedded on it, eyes everywhere, arms popping out here and there, it was an abomination.

The Captain took a shot at it, 5 times before it reacted to him, attacking him with it's vile fluid, he avoided it but it got his arm, he yelped, the soldier did as well, before he broke in two, and the captains arm, dissolved like paper on fire.

The gun fire continued left to right, they were under attack, and he had to warn everyone. He broke the emergency button's glass and pressed it before passing out from the injury.

Something was attacking them, and it's gonna win, its the end of them, that was the captains thoughts as he faded into sleep, admiring, if not disgusted by the soldier he, just earlier was commanding.

A light bleeped from the phone, it didn't ring, just a bleep of light which pretty much caught Andy's attention. He picked the receiver and placed it on his head, he listened to voice from the other line, it was more static than anything, but he understood it. "Is it?" Andy stroke his other cheek with his free hand, he un-crossed his leg, before, sitting straight saying. "No... I understand, we will make preparations. We will send help to the other ships... what? No, we will get things under control." He listened for a few seconds more, seemingly bored. "Yes, I'll see to it that it's done. Yes, be careful, i'll see you. bye." He placed it down, and looked across the room where his guest sat in full black.

"Is this how you normally look?" he asks his guest, curious.

"Normally, I would say yes, but in this situation, let's just say I look like this to make you comfortable." He said picking up last weeks news paper and browses it.



"I'm only looking out for your health, I need it to be easy for you to trust me."

"Trust you? I trusted you before, and look where that got me? The President? Seriously, I'm not cut out for this crap job." Andy complained looking away, wondering why this man (or not man) was helping him at all, but he knew something was strange with him, he just didnt know it yet. "So you think this Pandora Project will get me where I want to be?" Andy asked, this time curious as to what the man would say.

"Im not thinking it will." he popped an innocent smile before putting down the news paper and folded his hands together over his crossed legs. "I'm saying it will." he assured, his tone shifting into a commanding tone.

"Humans are going to be stronger." He explained this time playing with the sugar cubes piled up in front of him in a pyramid. "And they will oppose you, the Pandora's... Well let's just say that i'm an investor... Donated a few blue prints to a certain dead-forbidden-erased-technology."

"You had something to do with the project?" Andy asked curious, maybe this freak was just a greedy investor who wants all the profits for hims self, cause hell knows where the other investors are, they could be dead, or dead. "I've seen the videos, you were there, you and i know what they're capable of, but can they defeat... your other creation... so to say..." Andy asked.

"Let's take a risk shall we?" He suggested convincingly. "On this boat, there are 400 humans, out of those 400 only 200 soldiers, you have only 400 guns and rifles with alt east 300 rounds per soldier , 10 riffle bombs, 10 missiles and oh, lets say a nuke. You have a mini army with sticks and stones, and the nuke? Well, its no use either way, so lets cancel that out."

He continues, still piling up the sugar cubes. "You can risk the lives of 200, or say, risk the life of one who could actually do something."

"Are you saying i'll send my men to a war they cant win? what if the Pandora fails?" Andy argued, still frustrated at the thought of trusting one, even with much evidence, he was still not at ease.
