Episode 4 - Incidents (1)

Trey lies down on a bed in the private room on Level 7 of the Phaser building. Sitting on a chair next to him is Virge. Virge had slept well and is prepared for what he had to do this morning. Around them Reiken, Kaylan and Cecilia sat watching.
“Are you ready Trey?” Virge asks.
“Yes,” Trey responds softly. Kaylan, Reiken and Cecilia watch in silence.
“I am going to enter your mind and see what I can do about your visions,” Virge explains. “Close your eyes.” Both Trey and Virge shut their eyes as Virge begins. Trey passes out as Virge mentally builds a bridge linking his mind and Trey’s together. Virge dives into Trey’s mind and starts to access his memories and emotions. Virge wants to see what Trey sees. He makes Trey remember back to the incident when the visions began.
It was six months ago. Trey was at home sleeping in bed. It was the last time he had a peaceful dream. It was 3am when his room door was knocked down. He woke up instantly to see five men in army gear wearing balaclavas grabbing him and abducting him. Trey struggled and yelled but it was useless. He house was empty as he lived alone and no of his neighbours could hear him.
His kidnappers tied him up and blindfolded him locking him in the boot of a car. Once the car stopped as they dragged him into an elevator where they finally threw him into a large empty room and left him. Trey struggled; he pushed his face on the ground holding the blindfold against it and pushed his face forward. He repeated that several times until the blindfold started to lower off his eyes and he could see. He looked around; he was in a large hollow room shaped like a metal dome that was brightly lit. Trey did not know where he was, but Virge did. Virge had been in that room before, it was on the 27th floor of the Tempest, Trey had been taken to the psychic’s floor.
“HELLO!” Trey yelled. “Can anybody hear me?” The lights turned off for a moment then small blue lights on the floor illuminated the room. Trey could feel the ground beneath him starting to tremble as some kind of engine began moving. The metal dome began to get extremely hot. Trey started trying to move along the floor, but as he was tied up he could only crawl a little distance. The top of the dome opened as an orb slowly descended. The orb started spinning and lights started to flicker from it like a police siren accept the colours where white lights. Then Trey stopped moving as he felt a shock as if he was being electrocuted. His eyes started to get blood shot, as he began to see visions…
He saw the world as it was today in 2112, then he saw one man… the Mayor giving the order to launch a drill, the E18. He sees the drill burrowing through the layers of the Earth until it reaches the Earth’s core and explodes destroying the world. But that is not the end of the visions. Trey sees army’s of aliens fighting in wars on space shuttles and the Moon. After the Earths end it causes a, humans are an endangered species through the universe as the only ones that survive are those on neighbouring planets or space stations. The Mayor sends out armies of alien soldiers to hunt the humans and kill them. The final image Trey see’s is thousands of murdered humans… and one human child standing among the dead corpses. These were the visions that haunted Trey at night keeping him awake.
Virge had seen it all and realised what he needed to do, he put a mental block in Trey’s containing the memories. This stopped the visions seeping into Trey’s dreams. Virge returned to his own mind and opened his eyes and rejoined reality. Trey slowly regains consciousness. Virge turns to his audience.
“What happened?” Reiken asks.
“I have stopped the dreams,” Virge explains. “But Trey is right… the world is going to end…” he pauses for a moment. “I need to show you something.” He closes his eyes and stands as he leads everyone out of the private room.
