[ WP ] `` They were never meant to encounter the fourth dimension . '' You are the overseer meeting the first visitor .

Dallas walked at a brisk pace behind me, dodging pedestrians in an effort to keep up. The pedestrians did n't move out of the way; They were frozen in the third dimension, timeless. I knew Dallas was n't like the others, not only because he had broken into this dimension, but also because he seemed alright, even excited by the new things he was learning. 
 
 `` 3rd Dimensional Beings have no place here. ``, I told him as he walked, `` They were never meant to encounter the fourth dimension.'' Dallas could not see as I could. His kind saw using photons, but since the photons were moving at such a slow pace, they never entered the human eye at a high enough rate to form a picture. The only way the poor human could see was to move quickly through the photons, hence the brisk walk, so as to simulate thier arrival at his back of his eyes. According to him, the effect was like'Looking through the large end of a telescope', but it was still better than nothing. I had taken pity on him and now aided his movement with what he had immediately deemed upon its first use'telepathy'. 
 
 `` I always thought that the 4th dimension was time. ``, the human said. 
 
 `` It is, and you are experiencing it for the first time.'' 
 
 Another of my kind appeared around a corner, pushing a piece of machinery. I frantically waved him away. 
 
 `` So what was all that time before? The first 28 years of my life? All that stuff about relativity? We should be moving through spacetime at the same pace as everyone here!'' Dallas's tone was not angry, but definitely bewildered. I did my best to give an acceptable explanation. 
 
 `` Uh... the 3rd dimension only *feels* like time is moving at a constant pace'', I said. `` I reality, its all the same point in time.'' 
 
 `` That does n't make any sense at all though. By that logic, nothing would ever happen in the 3rd Dimension. Wait, can you prove that mathematically?'' 
 
 Of all the generally oblivious humans in the universe, this was the one that had escaped a Freeze. The smart one. *This is a joke*, I thought to myself. When I failed to respond, Dallas looked at me with new eyes. 
 
 `` Do you not know? Or... have you been... lying to me?'' I spun frantically and lashed an arm towards the human in an effort to end this plight on my own terms, but I was still connected to him by mind, and he dodged easily. I felt the mental bond between us snap as he sprinted away, and for the first time in my being, felt fear of another. I realized that sprinting like this, this clever bastard Dallas could see adequatly enough to pose a threat, and without that which he called sound, he could be on me before I detected him. This was not the plan. I was supposed to keep him distracted during the Freeze, to keep him from pieceing together the true nature of my race. We had controlled the human world from the shadows with Freezes for too long to be found out now. I would not let this human ruin what I had worked so hard on; *I would not lose to a lesser -- * 
 
 **WHAM** 
 
 The blow came from my side, completely unannounced. Before I could do anything to react, he was gone again, like a Tuna speeding through a ball of Mackerel. I suddenly regretted my race's frail, puppettering style, wishing instead for fists and shins with with which to fight this demon. After another hit, I threw my arms up, hoping to hold off my doom until another of my race came across me to rescue me. I was too late, and that was the last I knew.

 It had been only an hour since I had killed that alien deciever in the streets of the City. I'm glad I did. Running through the City revealed that there were hundreds of them, all of them doing something to people, moving small things, all in an effort to adjust the future, looks like. I know now that I am not alone either. I have seen other people, each lead by a single alien, and each blissfully unaware of the folly that they are displaying. I will save them. Then I will kill all of the decieving bastards. Looks like I have my work cut out for me.
