Project;Time-Stalkers,Inc.First Contact

a story based very loosely on H.G.WELLS FIRST MEN IN THE MOON

In 1899,  Professor Anthony Elijah Vincent Senior -a young father figure pragmatic,authoritative and his fiancée  Professor Alice Katherine Clayburn – known as Kate -young motherly type – along Professor Virgil Joseph Worthington Allen -impulsive,gruff,devil may care type ,Doctor Victoria Wells;Temporal Field Medic and Marshall William Lambert II-son of William Lambert,Senior-a brash,rebellious ,short tempered type ,  plans to use the newly refitted Time-Sphere to travel to the Alpha Tellarushia. Allen has already built a spherical spaceship for this purpose, taking the other members of the team with him.long venture into the uncharted realms of the temporal space.The sphere,small,compact,but with enough room to comfortably suite a crew of five.
Professor Zachery Victor Wells;who is more authoritive,less impulsive type;;Temporal Warp Physist imforms the team,that trying to test jump this close to a near by object like the moon has it’s risks.The Time Bridge thresshold still has too many risks within the Shadow Complex.Five years exploring deep space,by way of interstellar time probes,is not what Anthony Vincent had in mind,when he wanted to rebuild this alien complex,hidden within Mount Kronus.Still,using 9th Century technology,to juryrig a steampunkish setup,with this new Genisis Bunker is not exactly what the Time-Core Corporation,Inc.wanted,but had to do because of the restraints put on by Sarkhon Enterprises,Inc.and Fate Enterprises,Inc.
The time sphere is launched into the Well of Worlds,from above and set shot through a temporal linear accellorator into an openning Temporal Wormhole.Picking too much speed,the sphere is assellorated too fast into the time vortex.Tony Vincent and Virgil Allen cannot control the ships speed as it hurles violently onward toward an unknown region,only recently explored by time-stalkers,inc.time probes.
 The time-sphere overshoots its destination and is helplessly thrown into the time-vortex toward an unknown location.The sphere lands upon a barren world,only marked as Alpha Tellarus 3,as relayed back to them by Project;Time-Stalkers,Inc.personnel stellar cartagraphy surveyors.

Whilst exploring the Alpha Tellarushian, Vincent and Allen fall down a vertical shaft and discover to their amazement an insectoid population, the Alpha Tellarushians., living beneath the surface of the uninhabitated world.

 After escaping from theAlpha Tellarushians. back to the surface, they discover that their ship, still containing Kate (who stayed behind because Allen had brought only two spacesuits), has been dragged into their underground city.
The two, following the drag trail, find and enter the city. The city holds a breathable atmosphere, so (unwisely) they remove and leave their spacesuit helmets. Upon finding the living quarters, they are attacked by a giant caterpillar-like "Alpha Tellarus 3. bull" which pursues them until the Alpha Tellarushians. find out and are able to zap it to death with their electric-possessing stun pikes. Allen and Vincent see the city's power station, powered by sunlight. In the end they reach their ship underground. The Alpha Tellarushians. quickly learn English and interrogate Allen, who believes they wish to exchange scientific knowledge; this also leads up to Allen having a speech with the "Grand Alpha Tellarushian.", the lead Alpha Tellarushian. Vincent, however, realizes that the Alpha Tellarushians. have no intention of letting them leave, and during a struggle with Allen, accidentally fires a gun at the Grand Alpha Tellarushian.. Running for their lives, Vincent and the Stalkers manage to find the sphere and escape,  on the Alpha Tellarushia.
Vincent, along with Kate (who only leaves the ship once, to help repair the damage caused by the Alpha Tellarushians.), flies the ship up a vertical shaft, shattering the window cover at the top, and back to Earth.The ultimate fate of the Alpha-Tellurushians remains unknown.
Back in the present day, Vincent, the UN party and newspaper reporters watch on television the latest events on the Alpha Tellarushian, where the Time-Stalkers astronauts have broken into the Selenite city and find it deserted and decaying. Moments later, the ruined city starts to crumble and collapse, forcing the landing crew to retreat hastily, and seconds later the city is completely destroyed. Vincent realizes that the Alpha Tellarushians. must have been killed off by Allen's common cold viruses to which they had no immunity.
