This time there was only the void. Endless darkness, endless silence, endless nothing. No lights, no rifts, no tears in the fabric of space and time, only nothing.
But I can feel my own existence, even if I can't see myself. I try to speak, but no sound comes out.Even my thoughts seem far away, if they were there at all. Lost... or, confused? I'm not sure what word to put to it all.
"Brett Randalls."
Hello? I can't see you... or, focus on you... Are you there? There's no up or down or left or right here, and I'm not even sure I'm moving.

A light appeared, small and twinkling. But it grew, and as got closer to the light spread, reaching out. Captain could see himself now, and make out the shape of the hand that created the light.

It will send its agents of destruction who will play to your assumptions and instincts, and you must defeat them."
Captain wasn't given the opportunity to respond. Instead light enveloped him, and the world around him began to shake.

Captain woke up gripping the sides of his computer, dim red lights flashing in his eyes and loud sirens blasting in his ears. He was nauseous, dizzy, and the only thing louder than the sirens was the ringing.
No... not ringing... singing. Something was singing in a high pitched whistle that threatened to make his ears bleed. Max isn't here to play his pop music... so what is that noise?
