The place went quiet as if Reina had dropped a bombshell.

The boy leaned back and heaved a sigh.

“That can’t be true, I've lived here my whole life.”  His eyebrows in an arc, which annoyed Reina.

 "Really? What's the oldest memory you have?" Reina shot back mercilessly.

The boy took some time to think. 

He hesitated for a moment, then said, “Yellow skies, dust, piles of broken fragments of…concrete buildings and just chaos… 

It was dusk, I think. People were running everywhere. They seemed to have torn clothes," he paused and looked at Esae. 

"And my dad and I were running towards something. I don’t...remember." 

He tapped his foot on the floor of the craft restlessly. Why couldn't he remember? He began to question whether whatever Reina said was true. It couldn't be right? He had a life here, a school, a university, friends he knew since childhood.

“Figures, since it was a really long time ago. Back then Alpha was in a disarray, well it still is," Reina said.

"Whatever you just described happened in Alpha and nothing of that sort had happened on Omega in the last two decades in the location you resided,” She paused and looked at the boy. 

She sighed as she realised he was still suspicious of her, and continued.

“I have proof if you don’t believe me. Birth records from Alpha, born in Daejeon province, father: Jun Tae, ex-policeman-”

"Okay-" He exhaled through his mouth.

"Your mother,Mary, also ex-policeman or actually—”

"Okay! okay I get it-" 

"Should I go on?” Her tone was gentle yet her eyes were sardonic.

He stayed silent, unable to reply with anything. 

“Ha…” He brushed his hands through his hair as he looked at the floor.

 It was definitely strange - how his father never talked about his job, or their past before that incident happened.

Now he was kidnapped and told he was a stranger to the life to he worked so hard to build.

 Esae felt sorry for him momentarily.

"Anyway, my point is you and your inter-dimensional equal have had physical contact, and so have set forth the Solaray in place." She continued ruthlessly not bothering to explain.

"Listen, young lady, we have been kidnapped and now you're telling us about dimensions and inter-dimensional equals and what not. Explain everything, I mean everything from the beginning." Jay demanded. 

Jay still did not seem convinced. His mind was formulating an escape plan simultaneously. He knew that these people were not normal- yet he couldn’t bring himself to believe whatever Reina said- even though a part of him already knew that maybe, she was right.

"Do you all have slow intellect here? Did you not listen to anything I've said?"  She huffed and looked at their faces, "Alright I'm gonna explain from the beginning," she grunted.

“Tch, Listen carefully. I’m not going to repeat anything. 

We are not alone in the universe. Long ago, an advanced civilisation found a way to move through dimensions. Multiple ones, like I just showed. They wanted to share it with all the other inhabitants of different dimensions and planets. So they coded their messages in a certain wave frequency in the form of radio waves, which had the instructions to make a device. This device could be used to tear the space-time fabric.

This frequency could travel through dimensions itself. The planets with advanced enough civilisations would be able to tap into the frequency and decode the message. 

The technology has to be guarded since it could fall into the wrong hands, used unjustly blah blah blah.”

Reina moved her hands imitating a puppet while contorting her face to make a poor impersonation of a person saying Blah blah blah. 

She abruptly leaned forward and continued speaking-

“We, however, think something like this has happened in Alpha. One of the integral parts of their device, which is used to power it, has been stolen.”

Reina sighed dramatically and shook her head, “And that is why we have these organisations, to ensure that the device is protected and to prevent unauthorised inter-dimensional travel as you can clearly see the consequences. Anakin," she pointed at her accomplice," is from Omega's organisation.

Back to Solaray. It has happened a couple of times before in other dimensions off-course. But the effects can be harmful to other dimensions too, so-”

"We're here!" Anakin shouted, and the device came to a screeching halt. 

Reina got up in an instant. Jay and the boys followed her lead.

"I'll explain everything else later. You two, Esae and let's call you Tae," she said pointing to the boy wearing the leather jacket, "you two will need to stay separate. No contact under any circumstances—”

Tae was about to argue when Anakin walked down to the back of the ship towards them and dropped yet another blow, "because then you would be responsible for destroying both Omega and Alpha."
