[WiQ starts to feel dizzy. he starts to fall and then blacks out. He somehow is at the Lighthouse, yet he knows he is still in that forest. The Lighthouse itself is not buried, yet it is. He sees Liz standing in front of him. She seems worried. WiQ steps forward, then many things happen all at once. His conversation he is having is one of them]

Liz" Do you know where you are World?"

WiQ" Yes and no, I feel like i know everything that is about to happen, but i still feel blind to what I am doing."

Liz "That what happen in theses types of conversation we are having. Do you know what it is we are viewing?"

WiQ "some long forgotten moment that happen in the Lighthouse before it became consumed by the Submachine."

Liz " What you are view is a moment that defined both me and Mur."

[Then, two children, a boy and a girl are running through the Lighthouse playing. Their parents walk in. The only sound that is heard is the Parents conversation between each other.]

Mother "But do we have too? We could run away."

Father "Its something that can't be run from. Even if we were to forge new identity, the earth would have a place for us to use those identity. Our kids will be safe here in the Lighthouse. But for that to succeed, we must leave them in this safe place. They are more special then you or i could have imagine.

[the Father walks to a hidden door, he takes out a special looking key, he unlocks the door. You can only see whats inside for a brief moment, but it looks like a research room for something that is yet to be understood. The Father Hangs the key on the key rack. Then he leaves the door open and walks away with the mother in his hands. The children continue to play along, without noticing their parent are walking out of the Lighthouse. The father and mother walk out the Lighthouse entrances and the Father Close the Door. The tumbler in the Door is heard to be lock by the Father.

The kids, hearing the lock, stop what they are doing and look at the exit their parent went though. The lighthouse starts to shake. It is almost like an earthquake, except, nothing is falling down from the shock. The two kids hold onto each other. Then when the Lighthouse shakes to almost impossible length, stops, like nothing happen. The Kids get up and walk to the Door. The door, for some reason is not lock. when they open it, there is nothing in front of them, expect a Palace in the winter time. The kids, acting like nothing happen run out and play in the snow.

WiQ and Liz, witnessing all this show enlightenment like none before. WiQ seeing this, is shock. Liz, with a single tear running down her cheek turns back to WiQ]

Liz "Before judging Mur, I want you to remember what it was like for him to grow up."

WiQ "why have you shown me this? What have I done that decreed me to witness this moment?"

Liz "that moment is yet to come. When you are back, you must head to the Lighthouse. Not the one you where in before, but the First Lighthouse to be created in this Layer of the Submachine. Ignore the Static, you will find nothing where it leads you. On your plan, I have draw something only you can see, it will lead you to your destination."

[Then Liz head turn to something she heard. But WiQ is hearing nothing but silences. WiQ, realizing, the Silence have much to tell. Liz Head turns back at WiQ]

Liz "I'm afraid time is up. I must send you back. What you heard will help guide you to the 'Lighthouse. Listen for this, it will guide you when your thoughts are lost."

[The lighthouse then starts to turn white. WiQ starts to fall back into his body. he wakes up next to fire. It nighttime. WiQ jumps up like he awoken from a nightmare. He startles the Other.]

WiQ "How long have I been out?"

"Out? I saw you close your eyes for a while, but I thought you're trying to meditate or something."

Nevermind, we should keep going.

Wait, Abacus.
[Abacus looks at WiQ]

Give me that transmitter.
[Abacus hands his Transmitter to WiQ. He takes out one of his own devices and uses a connection wire to connect the Transmitter and his Device. He downloads a program into the Transmitter. The program blocks the frequency the Static is on from being received on the Transmitter. The Transmitter can still be used, but the static they were following can't be heard anymore.]

There, safe.
[WiQ disconnect the Connection wire, and then hands the Transmitter back to Abacus. He then gets up and puts his bag on. He then walks around for a moment.]

Okay, this way is the Quietest. We should go this way. By the Way, if you ever get lost, don't listen to that Static, it can only lead to trouble. I know where we must go now.
[He pulls out the Plan. There is a arrow that just been drawn onto the Plan. It points towards a certain point on the Edge of the Map.]

We need to go here. It will take us to the Original Lighthouse. What we are looking for is in that Lighthouse.
[The others get up as WiQ leads them through the Forest.]

[After awhile, WiQ and the other get tired from walking.]

Borys "WiQ, can we take a break for a moment. We've been walking for hours."
WiQ "Okay, I guest we could us a break."
[The others sit down on a nearby log. WiQ is about to sit down, but halfway through he heard something. He stands up imedeutily. The others looks at each other, then back at WiQ]

Kakama "what is it?"

WiQ "I don't know, I'll be right back."
[WiQ picks up his Rifle, then walks out to the sound. The others don't hear from him for until...]

WiQ "Oh, my...Guys come here."

[The other run toward where WiQ voice came from. When they find him he is looking at something, the others don't notice at first. Their eyes are fix on WiQ]

Abacus "What is it?"

[WiQ points]
WiQ "Look"

[Where WiQ point at is some outpost left by some explorers. It seems it was abandon some many years ago since the First exploration team went into the Outer Rim. It is still in good condition. There is mostly overgrown vines on the Wall, and one side of a wing of the Outpost wall is broken down. There is a perimeter wire Fence around the Outpost. There is only one opening in the front. WiQ takes the safety off his Rifle. The others do the same.]

WiQ "Be careful, we don't know how long its been abandon, or why it was. Keep together, we can help each other better if we don't split up."

[WiQ with Borys, Abacus, and Kakama go towards the Outpost to explore it.]

Borys gets i first.
Gunshots can be heard.
"God damn this statue!"
As the others came in they noticed in the middle of the great room, big (2 metres tall)statue of man with sword held in the hand above its head. Face lost most of its facial expressions because of Borys' shots, but it can be noticed it had terrible smile.

[WiQ Shudders]
Nice shot, but why did you shoot it? Was it attacking you? Or were you jumping at shadows?

I went in, and I saw this chick with big sword, smiling like... you know being spy is a big stress... I wasn't thinking, just shooting.

Thats okay.

Wait, whats that?
[WiQ and the other follow the Music in to the Main building. They end up to the Main command room. There is a record playing, the other wait awhile to listen to the Music.]

WiQ "Huh, been awhile since I've heard that music. Your gunshot must have trigger the motion sensor. This must been the last thing they left playing while they evacuated the Outpost. Heroic exit you could say.This could be a good place to base until we find the Original Lighthouse. "

[WiQ pulls out the Plan and the Book, he stets them on the table. he study them for a moment. A look of excitement appears on his face]
WiQ " Of course, its the Tip of the Arrow, I've should have know."

[The record finish. WiQ pulls the Record arm back into the resting position and turns off the round table.]

Wait, on the opposite wall, is that a root transporter? It sure looks like one.
