Amada Starnes: I haven't had a breakthrough with the technology.
(The man strikes Amanda with his pistol, Amanda bleeds crying on the floor)

Mysterious Man: I am going to ask you one more time you bitch where is the research material and notes concerning the breakthrough.

The man gives amanda some orders which leads to her and the man leaving together from the lab. Karl quickly hides and over hears the man mention something about the abandoned shipyard. Karl quickly runs away when he is sure they are gone.
Karl Blanch: This is all my fault. I should have never started testing my own theories. I have got to do something about this.
Karl considers going to the realizing that if Amanda was easily manipulated into going with that man with that syrum then they could easily get her to lie about what is hapenning to her. Karl begin to panic and blame himself. He breaks down right in the middle of a hallway in Harb University.When he suddenly jumps up.

Mysterious Man: Amanda tell my commander what you told me about the progress of your current space-time project.
Amanda Starnes: The project is still years from completion.
Commander: Dante, why is it that you can not find out what you were sent their to find?
Dante: Sir, I have given her the syrum it would seem as if someone else has perfected the space-time technology or we recieved a misreading.
Commander: I see Dante Mrs. Starnes knows nothing about the perfection of the the technology, but maybe her researchhs brought her in contact with someone who might have perfected. I doubt all the machines we are using couyld have given us a false reading on this. Question her immediately about this.
Dante: Yes my lord
The commander leaves the disscusion. Dnte prepares to readminstor some syrum when the alarm goes off on one side of the building catching Dantes attention before he can give Amanda the syrum. A dark figure is seen throwing something at guards that keeps vanishing and reappearing.

The first figure makes it inside only to get fired on by a blaze of never before seen weapons.The figure launches all of the tools they have brought with them being able to take down the majority of the men firing on him but being left a little lowon power. The second figure also gets surronded by a horde of guards when they pull out a knife and take some sort of pills. The light shows a short glimpse of the horrifying mask that the man wears while he waits for the pills to activate. Then the figure cutting down the men surronding them but they get blasted on the side by one of the energy weapons. The figure under the floor boards of the warehouse and takes a pill that seems to fix the damge they previously took. The figure then jumps through the floor boards on another side of the building getting hit by a vanishing object as soon as he appears.This leads to him firing at the figure throwing the vanishing objects. They push each other back behind some crates until they get fired on by guards from the uper levels. The first figure throws his vanishing objects at the guards while the second pins them down with rapid fire from his guns.

The first figure throws an object at the the syringe breaking it. The second figure fires on Dante hitting him in the stomach. Dante escapes through a hidden trap door before the horrifying man can catch him. The figure with vanishing objects helps Amanda to her feet, while the other figure colllects the syringe andn puts it into a bag. They all hussle through the warehouse trying to get out before more guards show up. All the while the horrifying man is recording everying he can with a camera.
