Ch. 1-3 Escape to Sherman High Unknown Location It had all happened so fast. Ilana had absolutely no idea what had happened. She didn’t know where she was. At first she thought she blacked out, but then realized she was still very much aware. She couldn’t see a thing. Couldn’t hear a sound. It wasn’t cold. It wasn’t hot or stifling. There was no sensation at all. She wasn’t dreaming, but she wasn’t awake either. All she knew was that it was dark. Very dark. Pitched black and disturbingly silent. It was as if everything in her and around her had been turned off. She couldn’t move, but she knew she wasn’t restrained either. There was just a vague sense of weightlessness.

Ch. 1 Escape to Sherman High The rift gate opened and closed almost instantly as they made their escape. The sound of the alarms and the smell of smoke were still strong long after they took off. The galaxy they exit into was unfamiliar and quite remote from what their instruments could tell. The planet that they were rapidly approaching didn’t seem to have any defenses in their atmosphere like back home. The single satellite they’ve passed didn’t so much as tried to repel them in any way. It has made it all the easier to enter the atmosphere and land upon this world, however rough a landing that might have been. At the very least they were able to avoid hitting the city they’ve detected. It would have been difficult to convey a benevolent front after tearing down a building or two. The area around them was remote and deep within a forest of some kind, far from the artificial lights of the city. They landed hard enough to more or less carve a trench into the ground before finally
