Episode 1 How it all Began

When the day is over and the night nears, the doorway to the dark, the Dusk, appears. At

the dusk, you see all the colors fade away from the world. The light becomes

colorless. Have you wondered... what the color of the world would be if we saw

it without the light? What we would see other than what we see in the light?

Well, that's what I and my friends wanted to find out.

Some 3-4 years ago, I had this thought, what can we see if we perceive without the

light. they say the dogs and other creatures can see the supernatural. So...

does that mean that they can see something we cannot see? I called on some

friends of mine, with whom I worked with all my teenage and college years.

Matty, or Matt Keaton, was known for his techies. His parents claim that he started

building electronics when he was in secondary school. He is also the best

gadget guy I know. Then there is Zee or Rayz North. She did not like the old name

that her parents gave her, Rays. She said that it made her look

"girly". She is a stereotypical tomboy and a minor delinquent. She is

into heavy machinery. She can design and construct a machine for any given

purpose. She once created a machine that can create a perfect pizza from base

ingredients and then feed her. Did I mention the minor delinquent part?

Finally, Rover or Rover Carlson. A bit of a nerd but a good friend. She has a

big social interactivity problem. Yes, a bit of a handful, but god is she

helpful when you want something. She is a "Genius". I still don't

know what is in her brain, but she has the best memory power and knowledge that

one might think that she is a supercomputer. I told them my idea and we

came up with many theories.

By around the beginning of the fall, we started to test out our theory. Rover said that they

could build a lightless chamber that can let a person see in the dark using special

equipment. After a week of planning, Rayz started building a lightless chamber

that prevented sound and light from entering. Matt came up with the idea that we

should build something like a house rather than a  chamber so that they can test in a familiar

condition. After months of testing the construction of the house was done. The

house was perfectly sound and light proof.  Matt said, “This is perfect. Now we can do our

tests in this house”.

It was now the middle of summer. All we had to do now was start building the Void Polarisation

and Digitalizing Device or Void Device for short. At the start, the device did

not have much to it. It was a special polarized glass that let every other

light but the visible to pass through. Now we needed to see. We planed and planed

and finally we created a perfect blueprint for the device that could overlay

all the invisible spectrum to the screen. At first, the images were very static-like.

Later on, the images started to come clearer and clearer. Finally, we managed

to fix the visibility problem. We made a night vision imaging with other invisible

spectrum overlayed on the infrared images.
