November 1777. The area now known as Point Pleasant, West Virginia near the banks of the Ohio River where it meets the Kanawha River stood Fort Randolph. Shawnee Indian Chief Cornstalk approached the fort hoping to make peace and keep his neutrality with the American soldiers who were stationed there. When he is introduced to Captain Milton D'Adamo, he is stunned to see the man with red eyes and is reminded of an elemental creature that haunts the area. Captain Milton D'Adamo, having been awake for nearly three days realizes that the Indian chief is stunned to see his reddened eyes. "I'm sorry if I appear different today Chief Cornstalk but I have not slept for a few days, please forgive me. A creature in the evening has been causing me to go sleepless and I need to get some sleep soon. Obviously it's unavoidable to get any sleep during the day because it's so busy here". Later while discussing terms, Captain D'Adamo loses his anger and decides to take the Indian Chief hostage. Two days later, a soldier is killed by unknown Indians and Captain D'Adamo becomes furious believing that it was members of Chief Cornstalk's tribe attacking because he had the Chief hostage. He orders the Chief to be executed. Just before the execution, Chief Cornstalk puts a curse on the Captain, "May the night beast with red eyes keep you and all who follow you cursed for all time".

4:45PM Friday, December 15, 1967. Point Pleasant, West Virginia. Young Felix Von Troxel and his best friend, Dylan Trevor are sitting on the edge of the Silver Bridge that connects Point Pleasant, WV and Gallipolis, Ohio reading SuperBoy comic books. Felix Von Troxel's white Parson Russell Terrier, Krypto lay beside Felix. Felix and Dylan are talking about that day's episode of SuperBoy that they had watched earlier that afternoon. Within five minutes Krypto opened his eyes and felt the bridge move as the rush hour traffic flies by behind the boys. Krypto senses a slight crack in an eye-bar is growing and weakening due to the pressure of the traffic. Krypto leaps up and starts barking frantically. The boys sense something wrong with the bridge now and take off running for the West Virginia side because it is the closest. At 4:57 PM The Silver Bridge collapses with many vehicles still on the bridge. Trucks, Cars fall as the Bridge collapses like a deck of cards. Many vehicles begin to float down the river as those people pound on their windows and disappear into the river while a few other people had managed to break out their vehicle windows and climb out. Krypto jumps into the river and pulls out one man and then goes back into the river and pulls out a woman. As Krypto considers another rescue he senses something and looks up and begins barking. A man is falling towards the river but to the boys he appears to be flying and just as it looks like he is about to disappear into the river, he vanishes. The boys were close enough that they saw the man's red eyes.

Rescuers appeared within minutes to pull out the lucky few who had broken their windows including one man who stood atop his truck cab as it sinks into the river. Earlier that day a flight had left Nellis Air Force Base outside of Las Vegas. A B25 was headed towards an unknown destination in West Virginia. As the B25 flew along the Ohio river approaching West Virginia a fight broke out among three passengers. One Alexander Vestral was actually a time traveller from the Twenty-Third Century who had conned his way to fly with a couple members of the Black Ops Brethren as they were headed towards a construction site for a secret NSA Satellite listening post. Alexander was being pummeled good by the Agents. One blow knocked him towards the door in the side of the aircraft and the force of his body had forced the door to open slightly as he rolled away from it but was kicked viciously in the ribs and the red haired agant pulled him up by the back of his neck and punched fiercely in the face. The dark-haired agent dealt him a body blow that sent him towards the door again and this time the door flew open as Alexander flew out but had grabbed the edge of the door with his hands. His shoulders felt like they were going to pop out from the pressure of holding onto the doors as the dark haired agent shook the door violently causing Alexander to fall from the plane. Falling, Alexander flailed his arms in fear at first and then realized he had to activate his Time directional Omni disc to escape his situation. He grabbed it from his left pocket and using his right hand punched the green disc as it changed color for each year, month and day as he punched in the appropriate colors and then realizing he was staring at a river below him, he disappeared into the future. The men in black suits had assumed that he perished in the river and decided later that they should interview people who may have seen something. The two agents had rounded up over a dozen fellow agents to interview that day's happenings and only heard about a couple of boys who claimed to see a flying, red eyed man. The agents dismissed the boys because of their imaginations. It turned out that there had been other sightings of a red eyed creature or man had occured in the past couple of years. The agents wanted to make sure no one had heard anything about the secret construction site in a secret valley surrounded by mountains.

April 14, 2201. Alexander Vestrel returns to his own time and spends a couple of hours in the archives investigating the incidents that day and the agents who swarmd over the town interrogating everyone. He learns about the two boys and their dog, Krypto and the two rescues the dog had made. Alexander had wanted to see the construction site but decided it was not worth going back that far again. It was no longer a secret about the NSA listening site but Alexander wondered why the two men were going to the construction site. Varian's message was cryptic before he had left on his last trek in time. Now that Varian was known to be dead after the finding of his remains in the dry Ice Age lakebed of Lake Thompson of the Antelope Valley that would later be a part of Edwards Air Force Base. It was a mystery why the Brethren agents had gone to the construction site and Vestrel was intrigued to near obsession.

Friday, January 20, 2025. The 48th President of the United States, Trevor Hugh Symington was sworn in by Chief Justice Bernard Kerensky. President Symington begins his Inaugural speech. His mother, Anne Symington and his father, Felix Von Troxel looked on with pride. Felix, indeed found it amazing that his first time back in 1979 had produced a son with the heiress Anne Symington the great-granddaughter of Stuart Symington. Stuart Symington was a Democratic Senator from Missouri who had ran for the Presidential Nomination of the Democratic Party in 1960. The preceding President, John F. Kennedy Jr. looked on as he sat in awe of the powerful oratory of Trevor Symington. After having spent eight long years (2017-2025) in the White House, he felt relieved at going back home. Beside Felix, sat his best friend, Dylan Hugh Trevor. In the back row behind them sat Richard D'Adamo, the Archivist of the National Archives.

"Now, Augustus, I want you as my point man on Urban Affairs and I want you to work with the new Secretary of Urban Affairs upon her confirmation by the U.S. Senate. Mrs. Carrinton Pitt has agreed to be my Secretary of Urban Affairs. The two of you will work closely on all Urban matters for the whole country, Understand?". "Yes, Mr. President, I do and will work diligently to help bring Urban Affairs to the front and get Congress and any other bureaucrats, et. al to help matters get resolved".

November 2025. With grey eyes that can hypnotize both men and women, Carmen Sandefur strides purposefully into her office at NUMA HQ, where Adam Gunn, the Deputy Director of NUMA stands up from the chair in front of Carmen's desk. "I'm glad to see you're here on time, Carmen. The launch is about to start in less than three minutes from the launching of NUMA's twelfth satellite in to orbit. We now have four in polar orbits, four in equatorial orbits and this is the fourth geosynchronous orbit satellite that we are about to see". As Carmen sat down in her chair Adam used the remote control to turn up the volume on the TV. They heard the countdown with baited breath as NUMA 12 was on the launch pad of SeaLaunch out in the Pacific Ocean. The final seconds ticked down and then the firing of the rocket engines slowly but steadily hurtled up into the clear blue sky and it disappeared into the edges of the atmosphere and slipped into the blackness of space. Adam turned the TV off and swiveled around to face the blonde beauty of Carmen Sandefur, the Director of NUMA. "A succesful launch of all satellites is terrific, Director!!". "Yes, it is Adam" returns Carmen. Adam has been a member of NUMA since 2001 following in the footsteps of his father, Rudi by joining NUMA after graduating from Caltech with a degree in Marine Technology. Carmen had joined NUMA right out of high school back in 1989 and had many different jobs in NUMA during her career with NUMA and was the fourth director of NUMA, and was the second woman to lead NUMA. Gamay Trout had preceded Carmen by serving eight years as director of NUMA from 2011-2019. Dirk Pitt Sr. had been the second director of NUMA from 2005 to 2011 and had a long career in NUMA that started after the founding of NUMA back in 1975 up until his formal retirement in 2011. Dirk had worked as a consultant until 2020 when his health weakened him from any further physical exertion. "So, Carmen are you ready for your sixth anniversary party? Everyone is ready down on the eighth floor". "Yes, I guess I am. Let's go on down".

November 2025. Tramping around the wooded Mountains of Bedford County, Virginia, three men were looking for treasure that has yet to be found since it was buried back in March of 1822 by one Thomas Jefferson Beale, who had gone out west and had found some treasure whereupon he came back to Virginia and buried his treasure and then devising a multiple substitution cipher that's supposed to be based on a document that Thomas Jefferon had written. This cipher has not been broken even by the NSA, CIA and many other such organizations. The three men were an Cryptographer, an Geographical Information Systems expert and an engineer. Like many other men they were not to find the treasure itself but did find something that November day.

WHAT! Way too cool!

[tonym5]

Friday, December 1, 2025. The news about the discovery of a strange looking body found in a cave in Western Virginia broke nationally. Divers had to retrieve the body and then place it in a cold water tank to keep it preserved. It was part man part Bat. The eyes were red. Then people in West Virginia and Southeastern Ohio began remembering stories of the mythic Mothman that had been sighted off and on since the late 18th Century. After some testing it was determined that the creature had died back in the late 1970s. By Christmastime it was determined that the creature had lived for nearly 500 years.
