1 Chapter 1

66 million years ago, an object flew towards the earth and collided with a massive asteroid. It got damaged and shutdown as it got on flames produced by the earth's atmospheric pressure and crashed at a distance from a roaring dinosaur and soon fire covered everywhere.

Year 2055, in the Museum of Paleontology California, a group of 12th grade students watched the huge mass of fire crash on the earth and the epidemic happen with the aid of a realistic hologram, some watched with fear and others with amusement as the animals struggled for survival while few uninterested in the seminar secretly played pranks on others. The seminar ended with the image of the world we now know standing still and gradually fading away as the lights came on, then students with questions raised their hands to ask the young female historian their questions, Holland Stark a student who has been paying attention since the beginning of the seminar also asked his question when pointed by the historian.How sure are you, that it was just an asteroid that hit the earth and not anything else. The historian looked at him wondering why he would ask such a question and answered. Well from our discover in the late 1970s when the Chicxulub crater was found proves that it was an asteroid that hit earth". She then points to a boy behind Holland who was now about to secretly play a prank on Holland for his question since he had also raised up his hand which he did for fun.... What is the colour of your underwear?", He asked after thinking of what to say then he and his friends laughed. The historian feeling quite uncomfortable by the question looked around desperately for anything to use as a distraction and saw the fossil bones of Brachiosaurus a few sections away then she answered him. I believe that is not the reason you are here.... so if you don't mind we should move over to the next section. She led them to the fossil bones.This is a Brachiosaurus, It is one of the tallest creatures believed to have walked the earth over 145 million years ago due to it's incredibly long neck, it's bones were first in the year 1903 in ....."What if such asteroid crashes on earth again?. Holland interrupts with a question before the historian could finish her statement. It won't!, she answered with confidence. But from school we are told that an asteroid once almost crashed on earth again, so what makes you so sure another won't?". The historian now getting tired of the boys questions answered. "Because... We now have Alpha deep in space to protect us so anything that comes toward the earth without permit will disintegrate before it comes anywhere near earth. Anyways enough with the questions and I have something to show you all. She then pressed a toe on the on fossil bones and holograms of little Brachiosaurus showed eating grasses in a field. The students all shouted in amusement as a hologram of an adult Brachiosaurus walked into the field roaring with pterosaurs flying in the sky above it and the little Brachiosaurus ran away. Holland sees a huge frame on the wall beside the section they stood which contained a flat clay portrait of a roaring T-rex and flame above it, it catches his attention and he moved to it starring deeply at the flame.

Years later, an helicopter fly's in the Pacific during a storm. A structure comes out from the ocean a launch bay opened and the helicopter flew down. An older Holland in his late twenties came out from the helicopter to meet the official in the hangar, they both exchanged pleasantries and a handshake before the official led him to an elevator. Holland could see the ocean and the aquatic life that swam pass with the aid of the transparent glasses on the elevator as the official told him about the ongoing construction of a transport station underneath the ocean and how it will make transportation between far away countries possible within minutes by traveling through the earth's core, he also told him what they had found and his job was to find out what it was. The lights in the elevator became brighter as they reached the dark part of the ocean and soon underneath. The elevator reached it's depth, opened and they came into a busy space undergoing construction with a crater at the middle. The crater was covered with glass, the official moved to the glass with Holland behind and swiped his card on the security system for access, they got in and on seeing the machine Holland moved to it swiftly, dropping his bags he knelt down to have a feel of the dusty machine, it's unearthed design and structure, the R like symbol at the top, it's damaged part and particularly the metals used to make it which non exists on earth then explained it to the official. He also noticed that the soil in the crater was combined with small pieces of metal which where from the damaged part of the machine, he brought out a device from his bag which he used to scan for other particles in the crater and found particles of an asteroid scattered around. is it from earth?, the official asked. Probably not, judging from it's strange design and metals that exists only deep in space with the traces of asteroid on it which means it was hit by one, got damaged and crashed here,Holland answered. He then see's a writing in an unrecognized language on both sides of the machine, he brought out his translator from his bag and scanned the writing to translate them into English. The translator translated the writing incredibly slow and Holland tells the official that he will be needing some samples to take home for better processing, the official agreed and he took a piece of metal from the damaged part, he also took pictures of it from all possible angles. Before leaving, he told the official to tell his workers not to touch anything until he gets back.
