Office of Captain Crimsonstar; Dawn Patrol HQ, Paragon City
“So how are you and Alex settling in back on Earth Marsius?”
Seated at his office desk in the Dawn Patrol base, Marsius Denthar smiles at the image of Marshi Brax on
the screen in front of him. “We’re good. It’s been good to see old friends again and make some new ones
already. In the time we were gone, our Field Commander became a mother and her two daughters have already
branded us Aunt Alex and Uncle Mars.” He gives off a small chuckle before saying “So what can I do for you
today Nova Brax?”
“Well Marsius, we’ve got a situation here I can’t say we’ve honestly dealt with before, but the people of Earth
have. We have what we believe is someone from an alternate universe appear in our space. A member of their Star
Brigade no less. We’re not sure quite how the dimensional transport occurred, and she’s not sure either. We
actually found her floating unconscious in space.”
An eyebrow goes up “Interesting. So, did she have to abandon her ship or something after the transit?”
Marshi shakes her head “We don’t think she used a ship to transit Marsius. When I say we found her floating in
space unconscious, I mean that we found her that way NOT wearing a space suit or life support system of any
kind. No apparent injuries. No ship debris floating around her.”
“You’re joking.”
“Not in the least.”
Marsius scratches his chin “Does she have a protostar implant?”
“That’s the funny thing. She holds the rank of Crimsonstar… Another funny fact, in her universe the Crimsonstar
rank is called a Nova… and she has the powers that one would see from having received a protostar implant, but
she was never implanted with one. She has confirmed that Her Andromeda has the same implant process and remembers
going through the procedure, but we think her powers pre-date her joining the Star Brigade and the Andromedans of
her universe did something to her to suppress her powers until the appropriate time.”
“How is that possible?”
“Well, after running every test we could think of on her, we have a theory on that.”
Marsius smiles at the image “Do tell, what’s your theory.”
“While her quantum signatures line up with having been in an alternate universe, a deep study of her DNA reveals
that it was not her home universe. Our universe is, and...” As she is talking, Tania Lockemont walks into the office
to talk with Mars about something and steps around the desk, coming into Marshi’s view. “… Hello now, who is this?”
Marsius motions to Tania and says “ Marshi, this is Countess Tania Lockemont, Field Commander of the Dawn Patrol and
member of the British Royal Family. Or as the people of Paragon City know her by; Lady Britannia. Tania, this is Nova
Marshi Brax, Commander of the Star Brigade.”
Tania inclines her head and says “A pleasure to finally meet you Nova Brax. Marsius has told me a lot about you, and
may I say thank you for allowing him to come back to Earth to help us out here. He and Alex are two of my closest friends
and having them back here means more to me than you know.”
Marshi smiles and returns the nod “A pleasure to meet you as well Field Commander. I hope one day we are able to meet
in person. While he was back here, Marsius had told me quite a number of incredible stories about you. I’m curious to hear more.”
Tania laughs and says “Well let’s hope we can arrange that in the future. I’d love to be able to come and experience your world.
I apologize if I’m interrupting you over Star Brigade business. I can come back to talk with Mars some other time.”
Marshi shakes her head and says “Not necessary Field Commander. In fact, I think you may be of use in our current discussion
of our visitor.”
Marsius tilts his head and says “How’s she going to help with an Andromedan that’s traveled back and forth between dimensions? No
offense Tania.” Tania waves away the comment.
“That’s just the thing though Marsius, and really the most fascinating part of this whole story. She’s not Andromedan. As
near as we can tell, she’s from Earth.”
Two sets of eyes widen as both Mars and Tania exclaim in unison “She’s WHAT?”
Marshi beckons to someone off screen and a tall woman with pale blonde hair wearing a uniform that has striking similarities
to the uniform of the Star Brigade but has some definite differences. “This is Nova Lumi of the Andromedan Empire.”
They exchange greetings and Marsius says “Not the Kairin Empire?”
“From what Nova Lumi has told me so far, while our histories align quite a bit, there are some significant differences as well.
In the universe she came from, there was no Kairin. Well, there might have been, but he wasn’t a prominent figure in the formation
of their Empire.”
Mars shakes his head and says “Astonishing.”
“Oh yes, our scholars have been driving her slightly crazy trying to get as much information as they can from her.” Marshi
chuckles for a moment before continuing. “But I think the time has come to give her a break from that. Lumi is quite interested
in the fact that she may be from Earth of this dimension and would like to travel there to attempt to figure out her past and
come to some idea how she ended up in an alternate dimension. I am hoping that the Dawn Patrol would be amenable to assisting in
her search if I were to send her to you via one of our time-slip ships.”
Mars looks to Tania and Tania nods, saying. “We’d be happy to help Nova Lumi out in any way we can, but if I may ask. If Nova
Lumi is from Earth, why does she need help in figuring out her past?”
Nova Lumi clears her throat and says “My earliest memory is from eighteen years ago. I woke up in a hospital on Andromeda Three.
I had no memory of who I was or any aspect of my life before waking up. If the Andromedans knew that I wasn’t from there, they never
told me. Nothing of our history shows any mention of a planet called Earth that I can recall. They told me that they found me outside
of the capital city and brought me into the hospital. They named me Lumi and I started my re-education. Once I had advanced far enough,
I joined the Star Brigade. I had been serving since then until I woke up in your universe. My last memory before arriving in this universe
was being on an Andromedan frigate at the start of a peacekeeping patrol.”
Tania and Mars share a look before Tania says “That’s quite a story there. We’d be happy to help you in any way we can Nova Lumi.
Nova Brax, we’ll be waiting for her arrival.”
Marshi smiled and replied “Thank you. We’ll have her on her way to you within the next twenty-four hours. Marsius, I will talk to you again soon. Brax out.”
Tania looks at Marsius and says "Well then, I suppose that we should prepare for our new guest."
"Indeed."
