   After teleporting to a random location, thankfully it wasn't in water or something, I walked around to try and find some sort of safehouse or something. Eventually, I found what seemed to be an abandon home. I go to it and make sure nobody's around, then I make it look new, like a normal human house. I go into it and pretty much turn it into a new temporary house for me. Looks almost exactly like my home on Hu. So, anyway, I get to my desk and I open up my computer. I go to my detection software and look and see if Trevor is even on this planet anymore, and if he is, where he is. I open it up, and type in Trevor's information, then, again, the screen just completely glitches and it goes white. Except, this time, it actually face on it, laughing, then he talks.

   "If you want to find me, Fiber, you're going to have to use your own personal traits, you're not going to be able to rely on electronics and computers to get me. You're gonna have to try a lot harder for that happen. Heh."

   Then, like last time, he just disappears, well, on the computer screen at least, then everything turns to normal. 'Well, crap,' I think to myself. 'This is going to be hard if he's going to be doing that kinda stuff.'

   I just then get a knock at my door. I open it, but not before making the house look like a human's house. I'm surprised, as it's the person I asked about Trevor earlier.

   "Hello. For one, don't try and hide it. I know you're not from here. By 'here', I mean Earth. I think you should know that though."

   "Huh? What do you mean?" I ask.

   "Well, this house was completely falling apart before, I know that part. So obviously you're the culprit there." She says.

   "Alright, ya caught me. Anyway, what is it?"

   "I saw the weird thing you were asking me about earlier. It blurred past, but I was able to catch it with my imagery." She replies.

  Then she, quite strangely for a human I would think, presses her temple. Then, some sort of holographic screen projected form her eye. She opened the image.

   "You see, I am not a human, but rather, an otherworldly being just like you. I figured you were trying to find this thing, so I captured it with my camera."

   She then flops on my couch. "Also, I was just trying to act smart and talk cool like that, I knew you would take it extremely seriously. I thought you might not have if I didn't act like that. Anyway, you have an image editor on your computer, right? You can take the image and do whatever with it."

   "Thanks, but how?" I ask.

   "I can use some wireless technology to do so. Here." She turns on my computer, and asks me to login. I do so.

   "Alright. Now, to transfer the image." 

   The image then pops into my Pictures folder.

   "Thanks for your help." I say. I then open up the image in the editor and, of FRIGGIN course, the screen does the same thing.

   "Tryin' again, huh? Ya see, this is not goi-" 

   "I get your stupid game. Just shut up and go back to whatever. Or not. I can't really control it." I say, frustrated.

   "Oh, is somebody mad?" Trevor says, trying to make it worse. I just ignore it.

   He does it 4 more times, then I just, somehow, telepathically, hack him out of it.

   "Huh. Didn't know I could do that." I say, surprised.

   "Seems like a real bugger, doesn't he?" The woman says.

  "He really is. Anyway, time to start doing this. Thanks for your help." I reply.

   "Your welcome. By the way, the name's Rhose." she says.

   "Cool. I'm Fiber." I say.

   I get back to my image dissecting and Rhose leaves. Everything seems fine, until I look closely and see that Trevor is holding some sort of weapon. I look more closely and it seems to be some sort of Knife-spear mix thing. I marvel at how close his weapon looks to mine, a scythe. Although, his weapon is dark red, mine is dark blue, with some black here and there. I think it looks cool.

   Then I get off of my computer and get on the couch. Then, out of the corner of my eye, I see something glowing bright red. I look at it, and for a split second, I see Trevor, then he disappears again. I then quickly get up, and I hear: 

   "I see you, Fiber."

   Then I bolt out of my door, get on my hoverbike and take a run for it.
