Time is a ruse. It does not exist. Mortal, physical, beings create time in their minds as a way to comprehend the vast ammount of information they take in in the instant which is existance. Or so says "cqw", the entity or entities which have brought you and me together. I am Qxlts. My race is unknown to you, we are xenophobes of a caliber you have not yet witnessed. Through our isolation we have developed telepathic capabilities beyond your grasp of understanding. It is for this reason that "cqw" has brought me here to communicate between you and it/them/thou. Their attempts to communicate with you have failed, you cannot distuinguish their thoughts from the thoughts of your own brain. Thus was it required to bring forth a medium, someone they could communicate with who in turn could communicate with you.

I am going to try to explain what has been happening and how you were caugh up in all of this. Please be patient. There are timeless beings. Creatures of age unmeasureable. When once they made waves their dreams became the universe, their voice the stars, their breath the nebulae. From these dreams there came wonderful visions, peace, harmony, a bliss of unatainable proportions. Then they came. Beings of chaos, which created it about them. These chaotic elements invaded the dream and wrought terrible destruction and death. The dream became a nightmare and the timeless beings lost control. To counter the chaos the dreamers created worlds upon which life flourshed. Upon there worlds there grew beings of intelligence which learned to evade the chaos. Thus was the great balance established.

When the races of old banded together to fight off the chaos they were consumed. Those who survived fled, and were persued. When finally the chaotic elements were supressed the dream continued. As the dream progressed the remains of the old races were discivered by the young ones, and it changed them. When a young race called Pfhor invaded a peaceful people called Juuy'to there was a horrible mistake. Knowing nothing about their foe the Pfhor attacked with a small ship loaded with troops. Near the end the Juuy'to prayed with the sum of their strength. They died shortly after placing a pact of ill-will against the invaders. Slowly, as time progressed, the crew of the Pfhor ship began to die off. Soon after death they arose as spectres, feared by their living counterparts the Pfhor called these ghosts "P'kknat".

Hunted by the living, and doomed to exist in eternal suffering as undead shadowy creatures, the P'kknat searched for a way to to end their suffering. Divided upon what to do the P'kknat split into seven factions. One of these factions became obsessed with a legend of one of the old races. The legend of the "Negative Infinity". Searching for a way to enter this new dimension P'kknat attacked several ancient ruins of the old races. As the P'kknat made mistakes based on garbled ancient rumor and conjecture they discovered a way to exit the dream and enter the place of the timeless beings, the dreamers. Their intereference caused one to be ejected into the dream of it's companions, landing on a world where no intelligent life yet existed it began to dream anew, changing it's host world with it's thoughts.

As this happened the dreamers began to stir. Waves were created anew, and new timeless beings were the result. Seeing that their companions were about to be awakened by the P'kknat they summoned all their power and stength and entered the dream, looking for a way to change the dream. They found you. You had injured your back on a false moon created by the old race "Jjaro", a boulder hidden beneath the surface of the water snaped your spine. At the precise moment of death these new beings took you and healed you, they brought you to a place where P'kknat existed to test you. You passed their test. Though their attempts at communication were unsuccessful you defeated the P'kknat at every place they brought you to. By staying with you and lending power to your crude weapons you were able to kill the P'kknat.

The time has come to end all of this. Somewhere within this abandoned Pfhor facility there are three repair chips, as well as three recpticals. Place the chips in the recpticals and then look for a gateway in the lower depths of this facility. There you will be able to leave with cqw, and they shall do with you as they will. You will also find weapons from the future of your species. These weapons are brought from time to aid you in defeating the P'kknat here.
