(Location: Duback, Portal City
of Stelārşea) We have been flown via Toowin to visit the facility where the Han
Storm files are located. Not being my first Portal Travel, I still stand amazed
at the speed with which one arrives at another planet in a sister solar system.
Leaving
the mighty city of Stelārşea behind, we were
taken by vehicle on a tour of a semi-arid world to a dome-shaped structure
nestled securely in a valley out of sight of the Portal City.
This
facility seems to be a private museum to honour Creata's great hero.
Led
by a very excited Professor McTee, we were shown the areas where Han Storm had
been trained in his special gift of Teleportation. When we entered Han's
private chambers it seemed as if time stood still and that Han would enter at
any moment.
The
room seemed a time capsule, impeccably neat, dust-free and tidy. It seemed possible
that our hero had slept here last night and was preparing to get ready for his
next adventure.
A
CMC Captain's Uniform was draped over the bed and a pair of boots stood ready
to be of service.
On
one of the nightstands stood an old photo of our hero and his beloved Jade
beaming smiles at us. So in love. Such a tragic ending to their romance.
We
left the room, feeling saddened by Han's unfortunate adventures in love. It did
not seem as if he had ever been lucky in that department.
The
facility had been built mostly underground, a miniature version of its mother
city just a few kilometres away.
We
used the central elevator to reach the basement level where the files were
kept.
There
was no security on this level and Professor McTee opened double doors to a
warehouse of incredible proportions!
"Eat
your hearts out," he stated as we stared at a warehouse full of artefacts!
Yes,
artefacts!
Floor
to roof level boxes filled with paper, documents, official files, copies of
private diaries and every other imaginable piece of documentation anyone had
ever written on the subject of Han Storm.
To
all my followers, fans and interested parties everywhere in this section of our
Universe, this is a paper trail as only an investigative journalist could ever
have imagined to pursue.
Unfortunately,
everything is physical and nothing digital, so we are going to have to digitize
all the information before releasing it to the public.
Some
of the documents are more than 500 years old and would have to be handled with
extreme care. To make matters worse, we have been told that we may not bring in
any assistants.
I
do not know if I would be able to sleep tonight.
My
colleagues, Rogge Wints from VidNews Interplanetary as well a Paggan Mist (The
Creata Post) are as excited and overwhelmed by the sheer volumes of information
as I am.
