CHAPTER 1: STRALKOPF

 Soundlessly the black craft pierced through the clouds over central Germany like blood coursing through a vein. Looking through the pyrex porthole Thomas Flood could see the dim lights of Berlin spiraling upward through the night. The military pilot had given Thomas Flood and Marina Vrenna warning that they would be touching down at Stralkopf military base in a few minutes. Nevertheless, Vrenna had once again fallen asleep just before arrival. Officially, Stralkopf was an old NATO base, but Flood knew differently.

 Besides the romantic relationship between the two they were members of an elite team of secret agents. Both were privy to information kept even from much of the upper levels of the military and government. They had been agents in the Temporal Protection Agency for the last few years. Just before that a group of scientists completed work on the first, and last, time machine. It was kept top secret and became the instrument of the TPA.

 The TPA was formed to conduct all special operations regarding time travel. Flood and Vrenna were fully familiar with the time machine, as were the other four members of their agency. They were a small team, but they were the best.

 Few of their missions had been even remotely life threatening to date. Most had been testing of the time machine and confirmation of location and accuracy of historical events. But Flood had a strange feeling this mission would be different.

 Suddenly the turbulence increased slightly as they slowed and careened toward the runway. Flood caressed Vrenna's cheek gently. 

 Wake up sleepy, were here, he said smiling tiredly.

 He knew he had to move quickly or the CIA would lock off his terminal and capture him. Close by on the floor, the guard for the highly classified database lay dead. The assailant hacked his way into classified records. Following his agenda he knew he was about to accomplish something that his kind had dreamed of for years. He was going to change the world. 

 His heart skipped a beat, he was in the system! Pages of military information from World War II spewed from the printer, followed by blueprints and schematics for all types of weaponry including newer secret advanced prototypes. The masked man pulled the papers from the machine jaws, leapt over it's fallen protector, and raced out the door.

 Thomas Flood had been resting comfortably at Stralkopf for several hours now, and was about to be briefed as to the nature of their next mission. All the members of their team were present.

 Their leader, codenamed Cyconis, was responsible for relaying missions to them from the upper levels of government. He was a grey haired, clean-shaven man in supreme shape for a man in his mid-fifties. Flood knew little about him, not even his real name, but he had worked with him for five years. He
