Chapter I – 1066
«Curious. This is something new, my friend.”
The Creature bobbed his head.
“Ah, yes.”
The Watcher smirked.
“Far from the galactic empires I use to watch.”
He nodded.
“Yes, for once I wanted to watch one of the primitive species in a galaxy.”
The Creature winked.
“And would this primitive species, pray tell, be one of your beloved humans?”
The Watcher laughed.
“Guilty as charged my friend. Guilty as charged.”
He pointed. Look at this. It is part of their Earth, a little over a millennium before they reach the stars, I’d wager.”
He shook his head.
“That is, of course, if the humans of galaxy N-45C-19, dimension T-GT52-19 doesn’t obliterate themselves in a nuclear war. It happens all too often.”
He looked up.
“In any case, I decided to watch the area called Europe, Northern Africa and the Near East. In most galaxies, this is the part where the first push towards modernity happens.”
The Creature smiled.
“Not the nation called China? I seem to remember them being in the lead in several of the galaxies you’ve mentioned.”
The Watcher tsk’ed.
“It is a risk. But I think we will enjoy this one, quite a lot, whatever happens.”
The Creature yawned.
“I trust you, old friend. What do you think, should we try a cup of coffee and sit down for the show?”
