An image of an old man appeared. His gray beard was so dense that it seemed capable of smothering his every breath.

“My name is Sensimion,” he said with surprising energy. His eyes were no longer hyper-blue synthetic spheres—they were now forest-green and real. “One thousand-nine hundred and twenty years have passed since the Brahman Station was sent back in time twenty-one million years. I’ve lived so very long. All the original survivors of the Brahman Station are long since dead. I don’t know why I’ve lived so long. I sometimes wonder if my treatments in the sanitarium caused this unnatural longevity.” He paused, looking out a window. “After the Brahman Station was sent back in time, we spent years repairing the dimensional gateway. We were eventually able to travel to a planet we named Brahman. At first, the atmosphere proved mildly noxious, but the second generation—those born on Brahman—were genetically engineered to tolerate the atmosphere. Since then, our civilization, a population of now thirty million, has ascended to a technological era comparable to where Earth was.” Sensimion laughed. “Or will be.

“The present is a peaceful time, but it’s the future I fear. Our population grows restless, longing to explore the universe by means of the dimensional gateway technology, which has lain dormant, since the construction of a new society has taken precedence. This inherent need for man to explore and spread to new frontiers has motivated me to create an army of protectors—guardians who will protect the Brahman descendents against obliteration. For if during the next twenty-one million years, there’s contact with primal Earth or the Fume, we may hypothetically cause a paradox. The repercussions of such an event can hardly be fathomed, for the science of time travel is still a mystery.

“We’ve discovered that the Fume isn’t unique to Earth. We’ve developed long-range dimensional telescopes to detect the Fume, and have thus far identified his telltale dimension and exotic energy around a thousand alien worlds. Fortunately, the Fume seems confined to a small corner of the universe—a conglomerate of seven galaxies. Avoiding this area of the universe must become dogma.

“If we’re capable of abiding by these laws for the next twenty-one million years, we may avoid paradox. But who can tell what such a vast quantity of time may bring?

“As the dimensional gateway technology is used to search for new worlds, it’ll be the duty of the Guardians to police its use. In addition to preventing paradox, the Guardian Army will be in charge of monitoring the Fume using unobtrusive methods. We must learn of this entity, and understand its function in the universe and its threat to humankind.”

Sensimion approached a workbench, where laid a sophisticated device shaped like a giant turtle’s shell. He placed his hand fondly upon it. “This miniaturized dimensional transporter will give the Guardians free range to roam the universe. Once it’s attached to an individual’s back and interlinked with the brain, it can be shifted into an alternate dimension, thus leaving it invisible and weightless.
