PROLOGUE: Confusion at the Colony:
There was a ticking from somewhere in the Colony. More specifically, in the TOP-MOST SECRET, NO-ONE ALLLOWED room... at least, to most people.
But it was actually an ancient research center... or looked like one. Inside was a capsule. Despite being 3000 years-old, it looked perfectly normal.
Except for one frozen, hissed at, sleeping boy which was also 3000 years old... 3016, actually. It was a test from the ancients' planet, and it was still ticking a timer. 10 minutes left. The president looked at the timer, then at his PD watch. He smiled. "Just about time," he whispered. He quietly left.
...
5 minutes left. The president was sitting in his office, sorting papers. A Male CAST, who looked to be near 200, had appeared. This was a top-secret, invitational meeting. Only the Headmaster, Nav, had been invited, and he looked genuinely concerned.
"Suppose this doesn't work?" he asked. The president of the safe haven "GUARDIANS" smiled.
"It will."
...
3...2...1...
A sudden explosion rocked the room as the capsule door was blown off its hinges. The boy that was in it was instantly thawed. But, for a moment, he didn't wake up. Then he spat out the taste in his mouth. That's the last time I trust scientists to send me in time, he mused, realizing, only now and with great sadness, he may never see his family again. A look out the window (Plus looking at his watch from the ancients planet, still working and read 4:50 PM) seeing stars confirmed this.
"Where am I?" he wondered. He was bewildered, but also confused. Had the research center been sent to space? But no. Seeing further out, he could see warships, cruisers, and all sorts of spacecraft. "Where am I?" he asked again. He hadn't expected an answer.
"You're on one of the finest Colonies in all of Gurhal," a voice said. Brett turned to find a man, formally dressed, step out from a concealed door. "Follow me," he said. "The ceremony's about to begin in your honour of surviving a 3500-year experiment."
"THREE THOUSAND..." the boy stammered. But he was too astounded to finish. He was only 16. Shouldn't he be... DEAD, by this time? But then, he realized something, something he saw in a cartoon once, where someone about his age was frozen for only 1000 years. The same must've happened to him.
Testing his step, he followed the man out of the room.

(Yeah, not much but an exploding capsule and time travel. Stay tuned for more.)
