We're Not Alone - Virgil (36)

Strapped to a chair in a dark room. Classic interrogation scene. A bright light was shone into my face and a voice comes from no where.
"We've missed you, Virgil." The voice was mechanical, altered to hide its identity. "Where have you been?"
"Working for you, of course," I replied. "I was assigned by the Agency to monitor the new recruits."
There was a pause. The interrogator was undoubtably confused.
"You've been dead for seven years. The Agency has given you no new assignments since your demise. You will report all activity since your last entry."
I smiled. "That won't be necessary. I am no longer affiliated with this Agency. You guys aren't alone. I'm surprised you don't know about the parallels yet. Unless, of course, you do know, and simply don't let on."
"Explain yourself." I could sense the anxiety, even through the voice alteration. I pulled a piece of paper from my jacket pocket and tossed it into the shadows.

Do you find your career tedious or boring? Do you feel as if you are trapped by the oppressive dimension of time? Are you looking for a career full of excitement, danger, adventure, and/or very confusing mathematical, philosophical and psychological processes? Then the Agency has an opening for you! See strange and new worlds! Witness the history and future of our universe first hand! Protect all of existence from total annihilation! Many opportunities wait for you in the business of saving the world. Start your preparation in the present, save humanity from the future!

What is the Agency?

The Agency is an institution founded to protect all of existence from the dangers of cross-dimension and time travel. Far into the future, the founders discovered a way to travel outside of time, as well as a way to cross to parallel universes. The damage caused by this form of travel became catastrophic, however, and attempts were made to limit it. These attempts failed, and the only way to prevent the collapse of time as we know it was to create an Agency before this method of travel existed by traveling backward in time to organize it. The purpose of this agency would be to deal with inter-dimensional problems before they become too big to possibly deal with. This, of course, creates several paradoxes for an aspiring member of our team to deal with. This is why one must prepare for the confusion with intensive study into the science behind inter-universal travel.

What Do I Need to Know?

Any physics classes may help improve your understanding of the concepts behind inter-universal travel, but much of what you have learned, you may need to forget. Several laws have been revoked by perpendicular theory. Geometry, trigonometry, and other mathematical studies that have to do with space, will prove to be very effective. The Agency will provide courses to help recruits apply these concepts to planes outside the three dimensional norm. It is vital that you understand these geometrical concepts prior to your involvement of the Agency, however, as we have no room for individuals who have no concept of space as it is. Perpendicular theory is impossible to grasp for those who have no geometrical sense.

What Can I Do for The Agency?

There are many jobs available within the institution; not everyone is cut out to be a field agent, and not everyone has the patience for a monitoring job. Here is a brief list of our most active jobs, though many peripheral positions are available in maintenance of our facilities.

Field Agent: It is the field agent’s job to carry out whatever assignment is given to him or her, be it an apprehension of a cross-dimensional criminal, or something as simple as moving a rock into the right place for the right person to trip on it at the right time. A field agent must have incredible physical and psychological endurance, and it is the most immediately dangerous position in the Agency

Monitor: Monitors keep track of agent movement, and provide assistance to field agents who lose track of time, space, or any other factor. It is the monitor’s job to keep the agent on task and as safe as possible.

Other Jobs: Classified. Many opportunities await those with certain talents. Nothing more will be disclosed.
