Tempus Fugit [Open]

[Adam Jonas]

There was nothing Adam could do, except roll his eyes and groan.

"That's the trouble with amateurs." The figure raised its hands and stood up. "They always mess up first time." It seemed to be holding something. Before Adam could get a good look at whatever it was, the figure had dissolved into nothingness.

"No!" Adam quickly scanned the area where their assailant had been standing. "Ugh. He's used a phase modulator. I can't track him."

[Yumeria Moegi]

"What's a phase howsie-what's-it?" Yumeria mumbled while her face still kissed the hardwood.

[Adam Jonas]

"Uhh...hard to explain. Well, it's actually kind of easy." Adam said, frantically scanning the area. "When someone beams up to a time-ship, they'll leave behind an energy trace, which can be followed. A phase modulator bounces the signal all over time. He could be in the stone age, for all we know."
