Adem Different cautiously felt his way along the dark corridor. Somewhere along the way, he'd gotten separated from Brianna and Danny. He found himself missing Bri's company a great deal, though he should not be able to say why this is so.
After what seemed an eternity, Adem spied a light coming from what seemed a doorway. Carefully, he made his way to the doorway and reached for the handle. As he did so, his mind briefly flashed back the holidays and Ozzy attempting to teach him to use the door. He smiled a bit, still a little unsure as to whether that was the correct response and wondered if he would ever see his friend again.
Adem opened the doorway and peered through into a brightly lit office room. He noticed, looking out one of the office's windows that it seemed to be night. "How. . .odd?"
"No, you're not in Kansas anymore. Or should I say, Nevada." A smiling, broad shouldered man in a white suit with white hair, motioned for him to come in.
"How did I come to be here?" Adem asked as the man motioned for him to sit down. Either that, or to begin one of this planet's convuluted ritual dances. Adem still wasn't sure.
"I brought you here using this little gymcrack. I call it a "sub-spatial inducer." It's a. . .souvenir from an old adventure. It allows for limited movement through space."
"And time." Adem asked.
"No, only space, I'm afraid. But that would be cool." The man seemed to think for a moment. "Anyway, down to business. My name is William Paragon, but my friends call me "Doc." Mr. Different, how would you like a job?"
