Hey guys! I’ve been in contact lately with an author of Everville: The Fall of Brackenone and Seven Rules of Time Travel. He offered to write a short story for my readers about time travels. I’m very excited to share it with you!
Time Trip Station Six by Roy Huff
“Come on baby. Let’s go,” Blake said as she kicked the jump-engine into hyperdrive.
Exterior panel vibrations triggered yellow alert.
“Don’t let me down now,” she said, not sure if the new ship upgrades would hold.
Blake made quick use of her fingers, throttling down half lightspeed to stop the shaking just before the spacetime lanes formed a clear getaway.
The spare parts she stole from Station Six came with extra juice along with unexpected recoil from the nano-accelerators. It caused a three-second delay between engagement and full power. Those three seconds would determine if her mission would be successful or if she’d be the latest fully sentient simbot trophy for the Station Six warlord. She had no margin for error and would have to drive perfectly to be free and clear.
Blake wore her chrome exterior unapologetically. Most simbots opted to blend in, usually selecting a level six facial appearance with full human options. It was the smart choice and guaranteed maximum safety against rebels.
Two holoscreens popped up from a center panel, one showing four-dimensional navigations and the other tracking three ships accelerating hot on her tail: a long-range transport and two smaller and more maneuverable attack fighters.
Computer alert status switched from yellow to red. Three bolts from her stern fired in quick succession. The first shot grazed her starboard hull. The hodgepodge armored plating somehow managed to deflect the burst of fire.
“You’re not getting me that easily,” she said, tapping out a three sequence engage code reactivating full hyperdrive.
Her neural network processors interfaced with the computer seamlessly, but for some reason, tactile use of navigation panels allowed a certain level of uncertainty required to bypass safety controls and exceed standard ship parameters.
Just before the trailing bolts impacted her port engines, hyperdrive lanes activated and pulled the ship to its target time and location: Earth, April 4, 1968, Noon EST.
“Haha,” Blake said as her ship glided three hundred years into the past.
A blinding white light obscured the ship’s cabin. A preprogrammed sequence dropped the ship near low Earth orbit. Energy field settings creating a spacetime image wake deflecting radar readings to Roswell, New Mexico, 1947.
Her ship descended onto the outskirts of Little Rock, Arkansas. She’d already synthesized a souped-up and chromed out 1968 Harley-Davidson with just enough 2268 mods to get her to Memphis several hours before the fatal shot.
Blake blinked activating temporary synthetic skin. Her white mini and knee-high, red Mary Quant Daddy Longleg boots were part of the package.
She opened the ship’s rear hatch, and out she drove to stop Dr. King’s assassination. It was the seminal event her clan had traced back that eventually led to the underground trafficking of sentient simbots. And she was there to stop it.
