Adventure #1 of the Chronicles of Gabriel Alexander in the defense of Gaia from the threat of the Animated.
An ordinary day right? Wrong. It all began when I chose to take the train from Home to visit my beloved guild. As I bought my ticket to ride aboard Gaia's very first automated train, I was very excited. It was early in the morning however, and there have been quite a few people still rather apprehensive of the automated train system, so I wasn't surprised to see I was the only one on the early morning train. I did want to get to the guild as early as possible, afterall.
I decided to explore some of the features of the train being that I was alone when I soon discovered that I was not. A man there introduced himself to me as Frank and asked if I had heard of the "incident" that occured in Barton.
I told him I was not aware and he was to tell me more, when much to our surprise, the train shot forwards gaining more speed. I nearly fell to the floor, but caught myself and glanced out the window to see everything shoot past in a blur. I looked over at Frank and he told me he'd go to the back of the train to access the control panel there, while I went up front to see what I could do to slow or stop the train.
I had to act fast and so I nodded and bolted across the train cars until I reached the main engine control panel. I carefully switched the controls to manual and then hit the brakes. With a loud screech, the train slowed to a stop at last just below Barton Town. With sweat dripping down from my forehead from the anxiety what had just happened, I left the Control Room and headed out the door that had opened in the cab just outside.
Needless to say, my adventure had only just begun...
