black rods extended out with an orange tip. “Utility rods extended beyond shielding.”
A gold beam shot out from the Torvatta, opening a portal. The Torvatta flew through it and exited above Earth.
“Scan for communications,” said Evaran.
“Acknowledged.”
V’s hands flew across the front console. “Communications beacon detected. Scanning for matching protocol.” The front right screen showed a rapid dissemination of code before a segment highlighted. “Protocol found. Relaying.”
Both the right and left screen faded, and a bronze-skinned male wearing a white robe-like outfit with a light-blue belt appeared on the screen. A golden mantle rested on his shoulders with a silver bar on the right side and a blue circle on the left side.
“Is that a Helian?” whispered Emily.
Evaran nodded. “Yes, before they had personal holograph emitters. In the future, they look different. V, open communications.”
“Acknowledged.”
The Helian interacted with the glass desk he sat behind. “Alien ship, identify yourself.”
“I am Evaran on my ship, the Torvatta. With me are the humans Dr. Albert Snowden and his niece, Emily.”
“Origin?”
“Travelers beyond the Galvin Rim.”
“Interesting answer. Purpose?” asked the Helian.
“We are looking for someone.”
“Lost and found,” said the Helian with a smirk. He tapped in rapid succession at his desk. “I’m relaying to you the rules and regulations for this planet. You’re expected to obey it at all times. Failure to do so will result in a quick and exact response from the Helian authority. Is that understood?”
Evaran nodded. “Perfectly.”
“Landing coordinates have been relayed. You will be escorted in and need to register once you are down.”
The screen faded.
Dr. Snowden looked out the left front window. “Well, that was interesting …”
Evaran half smiled. “This beacon and greeting is not present in the future.”
“The Helians sorta looked like the Purifiers,” said Emily.
“They do a bit. V, take us in.”
“Acknowledged.”
The Torvatta flew toward a spot in the Atlantic Ocean, forty miles west of the southern region of modern-day Portugal. Two small ships flew alongside the Torvatta.
Dr. Snowden noted that although they looked advanced, they were not nearly as cutting-edge as what he had seen on Kreagus.
As the Torvatta approached the ocean surface, a domed city shimmered into view with a bubble-like shield around it. The city sat on an eight-pointed star base. In the middle was a large structure that rose to the clouds. Around it were various smaller buildings. On the underside were underwater structures that clung to the floating city. A square portion of the shielding faded away, and the two ships escorting them flew off. The Torvatta flew through the opening, and after a moment, it landed on a pad on one of the arms of the star.
Dr. Snowden noted that the point of the star arm had enough landing pads to fit a dozen or so Torvattas. Since the Torvatta landed facing toward the inner part of the city, he got a good view. The city seemed low-tech compared to Kreagus, but still much more high-tech than what was on Earth at the time, or even in his time. He briefly wondered if they would be visited by a docking authority.
They exited the Torvatta. Evaran took point while Dr. Snowden, Emily, and V in body mode trailed behind him. A Helian dressed similarly to the one they spoke to on the screen approached them.
The only difference that Dr. Snowden could see was that on the gold mantle, there were two silver bars on the right side.
The Helian bent his arms so that his hands were touching in front of his chest. The left hand was palm up, and the right hand was a fist. “Welcome to Atlantis. You’ll need to register yourselves and your ship. Follow me.”
They followed the Helian along the wide path that led away from the landing pad. After a moment, the Helian stopped before a metallic canopy-like structure
