The electromagnetic-bio-cerebral-field-entity only known as T5 came to Perdita Island around noon that very same day.
It posessed a small Ford Pickup Truck and went about looking for the target.
The Quadinc had been quiet specific, locate the quantum melded scientist and bring him back for questioning.
He pursued the biofield signature and soon ended up at the island boat rental.
His senses told him that the scientist was getting closer, and so he looked around for a more subtle shell to inhabit.
A small boy was playing outside the rental office.
He had a strange mechanical device that seemed to mimc this worlds simplistic animals.
It had four legs and a tail.
Around it´s neck there was sign that said; Rufus.
It contained all sorts of simple gadgets like, a clock, radio and a emulating system that allowed the mechanical device to record sounds and use it as form of communication.
The boy´s father stepped out of the office and turned towards his boy.
"C´mon Alec, it´s time to head home, you can play with that later."
"Yes, father." the boy replied and bent over to pick up the mechanical dog.
But suddenly a spark shone in it´s eyes, and off it went.
It ran down the harbor and hid itself under a pile of timber, where the boy couldn´t reach it.
The father talked to the manager, who shrugged and laughed;
"If one can´t control a toy dog, maybe it´s a sign that you shouldn´t have a dog at all."
That gave him a dark look from the father, and a kick on the leg from the son.
Nursing the bruise he said;
"Youre welcome to try to shift those logs, but otherwise until they are shifted by the company, I´m not allowed to touch them. Company policy.
We don´t mess with our customers cargo."The father threatened him with a lawsuit and slammed the car door.
Burned a few millimeters of rubber when he spun his wheels to hard, giving the Porsche to much gas, and roared away a top speed.
