[edit] Synopsis
A bomber on patrol is surprised to discover that a Time Fracture has sent it back to a primeval ocean at the very earliest period of Gielinor. But a seemingly routine rescue mission goes awry when a colony of Deathworms throws a spanner in the works.
[edit] Plot
Somewhere over the ocean
A lone bomber slices through the pale sky. Far, far below wispy clouds form a milky haze, and lower still the sea ripples. Uninterrupted on the placid day, the tiny crests are projected high up into the sky, causing the underside of the bomber to shimmer. Inside the cockpit, the pilot sits at the controls, humming.
"Jeez, how far have we gotta go, navs?"
"A while yet sir. We've still gotta get to the Scimitar Isles," his navigator replies.
"Scimitar schimitar. Another hour of this and I'll die from dehydration."
"Have a drink, then."
"Good idea. Cops?"
"Sir?" replies the co-pilot.
"Rune Blast. Pronto."
His co-pilot tosses a Rune Blast can over. The pilot opens it with a short hiss, then takes a long slurp.
"God, I needed that." He puts it on a rack built onto one of the dozens of panels. They sit in silence. Then the navigator says,
"Sir?"
"Navs?"
"Check this out."
The pilot stands up and walks over.
"What?"
"Look at this. Huge magnetic readings all over the place."
"So?"
"Should we at least bolster the engines."
"Nah, we'll be fine."
"Captain?"
The pilot turns.
"Up ahead."
The sky starts to ripple, and tear. Suddenly, a huge white sphere erupts with crackles of electricity.
"Anomaly!"
The pilot leaps to the controls, but before he can even jockey with them, the bomber is already through. Outside, the razor-edged contrails are gone; they are flying above a thick murky sky, green and grey and with black poking through.
"What the...?"
Suddenly, the skies burst open in a torrential downfall. The bomber's interior is instantly filled with the hammering of raindrops.
"Cops! Get the crew, tell them to brace themselves! Navs, try and work out where - or when - the heck we are!"
He turns back and jostles with the controls. But it's too late - the windows are completely smudged and opaque thanks to the rain. A wailing siren starts as the bomber starts to dive.
"All engines out! Pith!"
"Get the auxilaries back on! Now!"
"I can't sir!"
"BRACE!"
There is a huge splash as the bomber breaks through the ocean's surface and plunges underneath...
