February 19, 3045
The camera shows a facility on the planet Imperium. It cuts to show a person sitting at a security monitor station. He notices the aforementioned ship fly into the open hangar bay. The man monitoring the station flicks on his radio and says something.
Man: Yeah, hey patrol, we've picked up an unidentified spacecraft.
Patrol: Oh yeah Tucker, let me guess, another UFO? "Oh no the aliens are attacking!..."
Tucker: No, no, it's not another UFO.
Patrol: Sure, hey guys let's go check out another UFO!
The radio cuts.
Tucker: Damn idiots.
The camera reveals a group of men perusing down a hallway in armour, they all walk into an airlock and walk outside into the hangar bay.
Patrol leader: Holy moly, Tucker was right this time, there is something other than an affiliated carrier.
A ship has docked in the hangar bay, however the patrol does not recognize the insignia of the ship.
The patrol team all walk up to the currently-closed ramp of the ship and all aim their weapons at the ship.
The ramp slowly descends, and out of the ship steps one person.
Patrol leader: Hey, it's just one guy.
Patrol member: You, who the fuck are you?!
Patrol leader: Hey, hey, no need to be rude, Corwin...
Corwin: Sorry.
Patrol: So, who are you?
Unidentified person: My name is Estavar, nice to meet you.
Patrol member: Isn't that a commune in France?
Patrol leader: Of course not! Where the hell did you hear that from?
Patrol leader: Anyway, welcome aboard Estavar.
The camera fast fowards to show the patrol team in the monitoring station, some of them are laughing.
Patrol leader: So then, you know what this guy does, he tells us there's a UFO in the hangar bay, right?
Estavar: Yep.
Patrol leader: Then we walk out there, and there isn't anything in sight. It's a real pain everytime he mistakes a carrier for an alien spacecraft.
Estavar: I can imagine.
Patrol leader: Y'know I can see this as sprouting into a really fruitful friendship, anyway, Estavar, where are ya from?
Estavar: Earth
Patrol leader: Ah, Earth, any specific city or place?
Estavar: Manteca California
The room goes silent.
Patrol leader: Wait, Manteca? You mean that city.
Estavar: Yep, and my friend is from Andromeda.
Patrol leader: Who? What? Which friend...?
Estavar: Speaking of my friends, have you seen them around?
Patrol leader: Uhhhh, no, I didn't know you brought... others?
Estavar: Oh look! There they are.
Estavar points at the security display, and two people are shown walking down a hallway. He then, while the rest are distracted, pulls out his pistol and aims it at the patrol leader.
Corwin goes to tackle Estavar, but is shot dead by the pistol he has pulled out. 
Patrol leader: No! Corwin!
The patrol leader takes hold of his rifle and aims it at Estavar.
Patrol leader: Stand down!
Estavar pulls out a throwing knife and throws it at the patrol leader, it hits his arm and he drops his rifle. Estavar then starts killing off all of them.
By the time it is done, Tucker is cowering under a table, Estavar walks over and points his gun at Tucker.
Tucker: Wait, before you kill me, can I tell you something?
Estavar: What?
Tucker: I was thinking Estavar is a kind of weird name, right? And I figured it out, it's an anagram.
Estavar: An anagram for what?
Tucker: I'm sure it's, uh, Tavares.
Tucker is shot dead.
The facility is basked in red light as two figures hurry down a hallway. 
Person 1: God, when are we going to reach this vault?
Person 2 is silent.
Person 1: We're on like, floor 0E, why haven't we reach it, Caeton?
Caeton, the other person, still remains silent.
Then, a person walks down the hallway, carrying a coffee cup. 
Person: Hey, uh, guys
Caeton pull out a directed energy pistol and shoots him in the head.
Time jumps foward and it shows the two standing in front of a locked room.
Person 1: Hey, now how are we going to get inside here?
Caeton: Why don't we try unlocking the door?
Person 1: And you think that will work, why?
Caeton: Because, just use the directed energy laser.
Person 1: No, that won't work.
Caeton: Fine, let's do it the hard way.
Caeton pulls out a computer chip and plugs it into an adapter and then inserts it into a keypad.
The vault opens and the two both step inside.
Person 1: So this is it? The thing that caused havoc all those years ago?
Caeton: I guess so.
Person 1: And all that effort for this tiny container?
Caeton: Hey, this is only the beginning of the plan.
The screen fades to black and the words BEYOND THE EDGE appear in big, bold, blue letters.
