There were explosions and sounds of gunfires haunting the hearts of residents of the once thought to be peaceful and native state of Sarawak. Situated to the north western region of the 3rd largest island documented even since the history of mankind. It all happened in the mid December of year 1941 at a small little town that lies to the northern border of Sarawak.
Never in the long dated history of Sarawak has her people seen this massive and aggressiveness of another foreign nation that set her feet thousands of miles away in the land of rising sun. Her inhabitants were thought to be naive, self-sustaining “petani” and some who reside on the lower plains earned their living as fishermen. They have nothing in mind other than a simple desire to live their own ways of live on their land of origin, the very wish of any villagers in Sarawak, be it self-sustaining or the rich who managed to work under the British in some freshly introduced sectors. This dream was shattered into pieces by the arrival of Japanese bombers and infantries.
Heavy weapons and vehicles were mostly involved in the Battle of Borneo that started with the landing of Japanese on the west coast of Miri. It all happened so rapidly as they were well-known with their military superiority.
Never did anyone ever think of what had happened in the Western part of our globe that remakes Sarawak and consequently Malaysia today. Many big events had happened since the Japanese declared their policy and aim of “Asia for Asians”, and the bombing of Pearl Harbour in Hawaii shifted human into their underground shelter. The pride of mankind, United States’ military base situated in that hideaway island was left to ruins in a matter of seconds.
It was during the years after the Industrial Revolution started its foot in British, an economically wealthy country who declared many of her colonial areas in many parts of the world. It was an invention beyond the intelligence of man, it was rumored to be adopted from a spaceship that had lost its way on planet blue. There were nothing recovered by the English on that ship, but there was a peculiar looking cascade found in the core of that ship, which was renamed “The Lost Core” by scientists at that century and time. It was simply thought to be an artifact until 2012, when a group of engineers exposed its technology. Proposed by 20th century genius, Albert Einstein, in one of his workdays but it was lesser than just a blueprint. It was thought to be more of a point of laughter than the genius within. The core was founded, retrieved and renamed “Time Machine” by engineers Ben, Mike, Eve, L J and Yong.
The first announcement of the Time Machine caught its attention across the great Pacific in the US President’s office and Pentagon. The team was sued to court by the government of Billy Obama. Shifting the ‘Dream Team’ to US is the first step of the Americans to confiscate that technology from the later known England. Obama’s intention of using it to re-establish America’s position as the pride of humans overrode his humble government and definitely ensuring the slogan ‘Change we can believe in’.
Headed by Ben, the Dream team’s was summoned to work for the Pentagon. Accomplish something that was impossible before and now toward possible. Authorities of the Pentagon issue the mission of teleporting Ben and his team together with the US secretary of defense, Robbin Gates to Pearl Harbour, Hawaii. This is to post a warning to the military leaders about the incoming attack on 8 December 1941.
Preparations were made again and again, rechecked departments after sectors, until not even a slightest mistake will occur which could have threatened the minster and of course the machine. Flashes and sparks blinded everyone near to the teleporter hidden underground of the Mississippi waterfall. Radiators were tested to their maximum limits, rays of unknown wavelengths and signals of frequencies beyond widthband of signals received from every station around the blue planet, all of a sudden Mississippi became the brightest spot on the planet.
Moments later, no one survived to tell how long it was after the teleportation of the fives, Mississippi waterfall which stood proudly became a dried up crater. Water organisms found later are documented as size of the flora and fauna founded by archeologists from the Jurassic World millions of years ago. Just seconds before the first ever attempted teleportation was to be completed, a tiny cockroach which skipped the eyes of hundreds got into the main core generator that is used as the sole power supply of the time machine. Radiations from the process were believed to have distorted the size of those tiny feelers of the poor little animal. The enlarged feelers make their way to the center cable to the machine, changing the initial settings of the teleport location to the tail of Borneo Island, a town populated by the British governors and the natives of Sarawak, Kuching.
