Cacophony of Chaos part 6: So Much for the East Wing

Integrated Technologies, defense contractor and Post sister-company, blamed corporate sabotuers The Army of Truth for a weekend fire at their headquarters in Hapsburg, Virginia.
"There's no way this could have been incompetence, reckless experimentation or anything else that would invalidate our policy," Integrated Tech spokesperson Anne Weltlich told press, stockholders and insurers Monday.
The Army of Truth, a group of disgruntled employees, first began sabotaging the Morning After Post and then spread throughout other IJI subsidiaries.
While the FBI is still investigating competitors like Lockheed Martin and terrorist groups like al-Qeada, I.T. dismisses the possibility that an outside force could breach their security.
"This fire was definitely an inside job, and definitely intentional," said White.
The fire drew national attention because the I.T. facility was the construction site of Time Ship 1, the world's first time machine, used in the Post's Temporal News Program.
I.T. wants to reassure the public that the time-travel research was never compromised.
"No one can build another time machine," said White. "The components are seperated and secured in multiple locations. Some are guarded by P.F. Jones himself."... more




A Cacophony of Chaos Page 1 2 3 4 5 6 On an otherwise peaceful morning in 2010, a seemingly spontaneous firestorm tore out of the Virginia sky and rained Hell on the east wing of Integrated Technologies. The force of a hydrogen explosion propelled pieces of the Hindenberg's steel skeleton at the four-story walls, indifferent to IT security systems. I held the temporal bubble from the blast's fiery wake until we were all flying through the east wings wall. "Alright, connect to the computer and set the core to-" My eyes scanned through the smoke and fire for the colosal glowing inversion core, but didn't see it. Had Jones not resurrected his back-up time machine? Then I saw it, and realized it was a refabrication of the more compact core 15 feet behind me in TS1. It may have even been a little smaller. "It's 11% smaller than mine, in case you were wondering," PITA said, reading my expression. "I wasn't." I lied. "Is the core ready to overload?" "Almost." "Alright- hit that little shit as soon as its fully charged!" I said. Just as the east wing's inversion core reached critical mass, I used TS1's new time-ray to send it back in time toward the previous explosion. I saw the core breech, unleashing its temporal energy for a split second, before imploding back through time. "Get us out of here!"

PITA swung TS1 aft, and I attempted to flee before the next blast I suspected was coming. Even if it wasn't, this place was on fire, and appeared content to continue burning. TS1 cut through the smoke until we made it back to the morning sky. "Don't slow down- keep going!" Behind us, a shreiking explosion came from Integrated Tech- the bone-chilling sound of the universe screaming. The temporal explosions from 2008 and 2010 had collided as I'd hoped they would. The collision tore a whole in space-time, one that would make the east wing unuseable for years into the past or future. Hopefully, I had taken away Jones' back-up plan. It was a good day, even if it was a bit of a clusterfuck. Time to celebrate. "PITA, find me a bottle of tequila." "Very good, sir." I disappeared into subspace, where I could get good and drunk without Jones sneaking up on me.
