IT had been fifty years, since Alexander had last wandered the halls of his Ark Space station. Yet to his genuine surprise and relief, it didn't look a day older to him. Not even speck of dust or faulty wire existed on his craft as he smiles walking about. His every boot step echoing familiarly. HE remembered when he used to be depressed by the solitude of the sound, but now, it was a wonderful noise. Alex was alone, and it felt great. He smiles as he finds himself in the Central hub station looking around at all the door ways he had closed down, portals he had closed in worry for any power troubles.. sitting in his great command chair he spins in it happily, flicking switches as all of his systems came online. Watching all the screens come to life he leans back relaxing in the glow and hum of his many monitors, closing his eyes to rest as they powered on.

"Ah its good to be back here again.." he mumbles drifting towards sleep... Well he WAS drifting until the Alarms went off. The sudden massive claxon of alarm bells utterly startled him as he fell out of his chair.

"ALERT! ALERT! NEW WORLD APPROACHING! NEW CONTACT NEW CONTACT NEW CONTACT NEW CONTA-" Alex groans n both irritation and in nostalgia, hearing alarms and alerts he had not had the pleasure to listen to in years shaking his head as he hits a switch to shut off the alarm.

"Computer. I hear you, Nice to see you by the way.." Alex says with a hint of irritation and genuine surprise. "I hear we have a new arrival.. pleased forward any information we have on it to my screens." Turning he watches, ready for the info dump, bracing for technological backlash.. as he sees... A picture of a planet, with a sun and a moon.. and nothing else. "Uh Computer? Yeah its me.. where is my data?"

"Greetings Alexander.. affirmative All collected Data displayed." the computer replies.

Alex chuckles "really? I only see one picture."

"Correct. Data collection and analysis was Ineffective."

That got Him confused. "Wait.. ineffective? How is that possible?"

"Affirmative. No scans were completed. Planetary object is immune to all scans. However, visual reports do have something to show you. Engaging Video feed."

Alex blinks and turn watchign the planet.. stay.. utterly still. "you can play the video.."

"We are sir. Look at the celestial objects.. look as we speed things up." The computer instructed as the screen came lower and he moved closer.. he watched as.. the Smaller sun, and moon. revolved around the..

"wait.. so The sun and moon are revolving.. on slightly tilted axis.. around the planet? how is that possible?" Alex asks looking at what by all rights shoudl be COMPLETELY impossible. A small star, and a lunar body. revolving.. a Non moving planet? "This.. it.. does not make any sense."

"Perhaps it may.. You asked for scans of the planet, here are the scans Around the planet." Alex watched as files popped up, reading one he blinks.

"If I am reading this right.. we did have some success.. but not the correct types. the over all report shows a field of Magical based energy that Connects and pulls the sun and moon, as well as covering the planet in the field. according to this you had sent probes, and then retrieved them, only to find they had..."

"Shut off on entry. Not fried, just turned off. We discovered their trajectory and found the magical Teleportation field Does in fact still work." the computer replies. "My estimation is that the magical barrier cancels out electronic fields, radio waves and other forms of non magical energy. Recommended option is... well I'm sure you can figure that one out."

"Plan a. If ya don't know what it is from a distance, go take a look at it." He nods. "Well.. Back to the job.. lets Check out the new world!" Smiling he watches as his chair ejects a small metalic object. With a small screen that showed a radar and map of the area. "Ah mini map. good to have you again." he says following the map down a new set of created hall ways.. pictures and decorations blank, but they would fill in after Alex explored for a while. As he gained Data the hall would match the world, just as the other halls did.

Ark was a station on its own reality, actually it was in Nowhere reality(Dimension note: if anyone wants ot know more about Nowhere Reality, leave a message or a question and ill answer as best I can ^_^) now.. A dimension powered by another super mage Alex knew by the name of Zachary who ran the world that was technically below Nowhere. Alex smirks sending Zach a message about the new world, and asking for inquires on new life forms.. Not too steps later Zach replied that business was slow, and that nothing really new had arrived. The only unusual thing Zach had seen lately had been more horses, unicorns, and pegasi out in his grounds, but none of them seemed to act very strange so he left them alone. (Character Note: Zach is gifted with animal speaking ability, so hes used to hearing animals like horses talk. ERGO he does not notice anything unusual about talking horses.. since he hears everything in his own native language anyway.) Alex blinks at the info, saves the message and begins to get ready for his trip.

Not knowing anything about the world, and obviously about its magical forces, Alex wanted to be ready for anything. He grabbed his old Tome of knowledge based on all of the magical info he had heard or learned all over the place, as well as the special lessons in magic that seemed to carry over to multiple worlds. He took a few moments skimming through it and taking a couple last notes. His book Creating new pages as he wrote down everything he knew about this new planet. 'Easy teleportational retreat. Does not Revolve, magical forces control Sun and Moon. Suggested reading is that rotation of sun and moon create a similar Cycle of time to Earth and Mobius. 24-26 hour day estimated, with 4-5 possible "seasons". Since the Sun and Moon are controlled by magic I feel its safe to assume magic exists in this world, but nothing is known about its laws or force needed to cast spells.' Alex smiles at his simplified notes as he places his Mini Map and book into his dimensional pocket bags. [Note: EXPLAINED HAMMER SPACE FTW!} Watching the Gate door open up again, the usual Question mark appearing above the gate.. looking into the gate he gazed at the planet shown... as he takes his first steps into this new world. Feeling the familiar pull of magically enhanced gravity as he gazes upwards, soon replaced by the familiar sight of Planet ground rushing to meet his head. Alex closes his eyes and sighs as he slams head first into yet another new planet. Though as he falls unconscious.. he begins feeling his body changing as a set of voices seem to float towards him.

"What in the hay was that?" some sort of Southern accent spoke out

"A shooting star? I love shooting stars!" The voice of a hyper active young woman rang out..

"It looked more like something falling.." A more serious woman's voice. Perhaps the voice of reason?

"Omigosh! it WAS some One falling!" The voice of someone gentle... As My hearing faded out as my sight had done already... "Quickly... uh whos home is closest?"
