he actually let me in. i have to admit im surprised. "tea or coffee" he asks me. "tea please" i reply. im amazed at how much this stranger seems to trust me especially after i chased him here. as he hands me the mug of steaming brew, i suddenly have hope for the future.
"since this is your house and your being so kind it seems only right i let you ask the first question. i can tell from the look on your face you have loads to ask"
Brannon heaped sugar into his own tea and collapsed onto the armchair, shaking his head.
"I don't know why i let you in." He pauses. "But since i have done, why are you here? Why have you been following me?"
"ok firstly thats two questions but i'll let it slide this once. basically i followed you because i needed to talk to you. which leads me to why i'm here. i'm here because there is a problem with the universe and your knowledge of exophysics could be just what i need to fix it."
"my knowledge? I've been studying for three days. ok i'm getting the hang of it but there are people who understand way more than i do!"
Brannon paused, as the situation hit him. His tone of voice changed, and began to tremble. He set down his mug.
"A problem with the universe?"
"exactly, since you know of exophysics i assume you know about the 3 exophysical shapes"

Now brannon was interested.
"Yes...? How do you know about this? You're not from the government are you?" the man shook his head.1 "Ok, well, of course i know about the Shapes, theyre one of the first things we read about. What about them?"
It was now that harun realised how rude he had been. "I've never asked your name," he inquired.

"oh yeah, i'm markus. and to answer your question its pretty simple. i know about the exophysical shapes because im the fourth shape. your looking at the universes only polaran. but please, no autographs".

"Polaran? Not come across that one. Markus..." he paused. Maybe i could learn something here. "So, tell me about 'polaran'." You tell me and maybe i'll tell you something in return. Maybe. I might have to get you sign something though..."

"sorry, i dont sign anything. makes it possible to track me. but the rest of the deal sounds good. okay, and to be completely correct its polaran, singular. due to the immense outward energy created by polaran, whoops sorry, i'm getting ahead of myself. basically a polaran is a being with all 3 exophysical powers. like i was saying, due to the ouward energy, it is only possible for one polaran to exist at any one time. at least without the universe imploding".

Ah.
"Your L-structure would need to recieve, preserve and transmit... simultaneously..." He thought hard for a second. Everything he had learnt rushed back to him. This being must be giving out enormous baryonic waves. He was right. There could be no two baryonic emitters this huge.
"Basically, all exophysical beings are what we call "baryonic emitters". You give off waves that fly through the fabric of the universe. But what you would be doing is picking up these waves - what sirians do - then amplifying them - what procyans do - and then sending them out again - kentauran. All at the same time, constantly. If i were you, i would be very careful in using your sirian powers. They would be quite dangerous under the right circumstances...
"Oh, yeah, and when two baryonic waves meet, they cause a little tear in four-dimensional space. Under a certain threshold - Two hundred and fifty-six Leclercs - it can fix itself. But above that, the rip stays there. That can have disastrous consequences... I think that's what your talking about."

Harun sat back in the chair and groaned. "Right, first, youre going to have to prove to me that you're polaran. Show me something kentauran and something procyan. That will convince me, but for goodness' sake don't do anything sirian. Then, if you dont mind, im going to take you to the university and run some tests...? You'll have to prove this to the professors too though.
"And...
"Told by who?" Harun was suddenly worried...

"again, sorry to sound unco-operative but i dont want any one else involved in this. the more people involved the longer everything will take and we dont have time to be pussy-footing around. and now to annoy you. i'm not 100% on who told me becuase i kind of found out through my sirian powers. but dont get mad. i didnt know anything about these parabonic emmiter thingy's. but i will take your advice and avoid them from now on. as for showing you my powers, can it wait until tomorrow. i have had a really long day and you run abnormally fast for a science geek. and, er, you think i can crash here for tonight?

Science geek. That made Harun chuckle. He had only been in this industry for three days and already things were beginning to get interesting. And for someone with Kentauran powers, being credited as "abnormally fast" was certainly a compliment.
Hm. The guy had chased him and sneaked up on him. That's always a down point.
But they guy possessed every exophysical power we know. This was his chance to impress the professors. Even if is someone has thought about the existance of a "Polaran" already, they certainly don't have one on hand to study.
Harun sighed and wiped his forehead with his hand. "Sure, why not. This is a student flat, but the sofa folds out into a camping bed. Knock yourself out." He observed his watch. Heck, it was later than he thought. Long day tomorrow, it would seem.
"I'm pretty exhausted too, if I'm honest." He downed the remainder of his now-tepid brew and stood to leave.

As he got up to leave, i couldnt help but admire him. i had chased him sneaked up on him and told him of the universes impending doom. yet there he stands, cool calm and collected, even going as far as to let me stay the night. "hey Harun, thanks for this. your all right". and with that markus fell asleep feeling happy that he had finally found someone who seemed to be trustworthy. maybe humanity wasnt all bad. maybe friendship was possible.

Hmm. Confusing day.
Harun's head was spinning. What to make of it? He needed coffee to think. He looked into the empty cup. No time now. Time to sleep.
"Hey Harun, thanks for this. You're all right," Markus had said. That made him happy. He liked doing favours. Somewhere, deep down, a feeling bubbled. The man stalked you, Harun. He hasn't even proven his powers to you yet. What, the heck, are you doing letting him sleep here?
But he knew about exophysics. Nobody knew about exophysics. That was proof enough for Harun's rational mind, surely?
His 12:30am rational mind.
-< FEBRUARY 8th >-
Markus was already awake by the time Harun awoke. He was alarmed to hear noises downstairs, until he remembered about his unplanned guest. He sighed. What had he got himself into.
He prepared for work, and packed his briefcase, growling inwardly when he realised that he would have to wade through the red tape of getting the newcomer a visitor's pass to the lab.

Markus heard a strange noise.
It emanated from the bedroom, just down the hall. Markus stepped out of the living room to investigate*, and recieved a shock. He had suspected that it had been the boiler, or some crazy machine Harun has in his house. But he turned out into the hall, and was greeted by a pair of staring, malicious yellow eyes.
They dropped from the ceiling, shortly followed by a long, scaled green body, which coiled itself around Markus' neck and arm. A hiss emanated from the gaping, razor-toothed mouth.
after a fair bit of wrestling around, Markus managed to get to creature off of him and threw it down the hall. what the hell is a dirty great snake doing in Harun's house was all that was going through Markus' mind. wait a second, thinking back there was a tank in the living room. great, so Harun owned a pet snake. that made things harder. he still needed to apologize to his friend which would become a lot harder if he also had to explain why he had killed his pet. This day was going from bad to worse
Harun burst into his house to see Markus eyeing his pet snake warily.
"Ah, i see you met Montgomery." He laughed and picked up the snake, replacing it into the tank. Then he turned to Markus and his face went serious.
"What the heck were you thinking?"
"ok first off, A SNAKE? of all the animals in the world you had to chose a snake for a pet. i absolutely hate snakes", he said with a shudder. "secondly, it was not my fault, whatever that box was it is evil and i don't like it".
"One. Don't diss the snake." Harun gave Markus a condescending glare. "Secondly, evil? I've been studying that box for three days. Admittedly you probably know more about Exophysics than I do but everyone tells me it's the greatest technological marvel since... um, the greatest technological marvel ever. So stop being so childish."
