The sound of wooshing echoed throughout the immediate area as Trevan's TARDIS rematerialized into the surrounding space. Exiting it, the Time Lord made his way towards the commotion at the center of town, where several law enforcement officers stood about around a black portal strangely made out of... well cubes. They seemed to have cordoned off the area in an attempt to keep people away.

Of course he'd still find his way through. It was why he'd come here after all. As soon as he'd entered his TARDIS, aside from starting the growth process of the machine that would eventually serve as the gateway back to his reality, he decided to investigate the strange energy signals being emanated from this area and redirected his ships flight path to this location. Moving through the crowds of curious onlookers, Trevan approached the barricades that had been set up and pulled out his psychic paper, showing it to one of the officers.

"Right this way sir." The man said, ushering him past and over towards the portal. "Not to seem unprofessional sir, but we had a team of eggheads down here last time and they didn't get very far in figuring out where this thing came from."

"Did they go through to the other side?" Trevan asked, glancing over at him as they walked along.

"No, not since our first team went in and didn't return." He replied as they finally reached the object, which was much larger up close than Trevan had originally anticipated.

"I see. Well don't worry. Now that I'm here we'll get to the bottom of this." Trevan remarked, stepping up to the portals entrance.

"Sir... you're not thinking of going in there by yourself?" The officer asked, a look of uncertainty and distress plastered across his face.

"Why of course. What better way to figure out where this came from than to see where it leads? Maybe I could even find that missing team while I'm there." Trevan elaborated, stepping through the portal before anyone could stop him, eliciting a frenzy amongst the officers as they tried to figure out what just happened. As for the man Trevan had tricked, he was quickly pulled aside by a senior officer and questioned as to why exactly he allowed through an unauthorized civilian.

It was during all of this that a wave of recognition washed over me as I suddenly remembered what I had felt I had been missing earlier. The man who'd entered the portal... he was the same one with that odd ship that was bigger on the inside. Thinking back I tried to remember if he had drugged me or not, but all I could recall was him placing his fingers against the side of my head and then everything going dark. Taking a close look at the area, I decided to do something absolutely crazy...

I decided to follow him.

It might have seemed strange, but I wanted answers. Wanted to know who he was, why he seemingly owned a pillar that was bigger on the inside, and how he'd managed to make me pass out without an injection of some kind. So, taking care to avoid the onsite security, I quickly move past the barricades and step into the portal...
