 In the summer of the year 570 GD, Addie attended a graduation party held by one of her friends. She borrowed her father's stage glasses (a pair of lenseless pince-nez with some ornamentation on the outside of the frames), and a digital camera which she keeps on her person at all times. She went to the party at 3 PM, enjoyed herself, stayed until 9 PM, and then walked home. In the summer of the year 570 GD, Addie attended a graduation party held by one of her friends.

-While walking, as she passed a gas station, she noticed a little girl running away from a fast food restaurant with a man in pursuit. Addie put herself between the little girl and the approaching man, as the little girl screamed about how she just wanted to go home. The man reached out to push Addie out of the way, but Addie wouldn't move. He tried to go around Addie, but she lunged to stay in front of him. Finally, he yelled something about how his daughter was just throwing a tantrum, but she didn't buy that. Finally, a van rolled up, and another man jumped out with a gun, opening fire at Addie. Addie charged at the gunman, managing to tackle and disarm him, but she was losing blood rapidly and the pain was so intense she could barely see or breathe. A deep, piercing cold enveloped her. The little girl escaped, managing to get away from her pursuers in the confusion. +While walking, she noticed a little girl running away from a fast food restaurant with a man in pursuit.

 But Addie was losing too much blood, too quickly. The pursuers pushed her weakening body away, got back into the van, and drove off. The little girl came out of hiding, trying to help Addie to her feet again, but Addie could no longer stand. But Addie was losing too much blood, too quickly.

-==== The Crosslink Saga ====+==== Reading Crosslink ==== 
 + 
 +Addie found a copy of [[crosslink|The Crosslink Saga]] owned by The Mage during one of her scheduled breaks. She skimmed through it, and soon noticed a picture of herself with five others she did not recognize. She read their names: [[Rimas Nolie]], [[Marcel Tano]], [[Jutse Aldwyn]], [[Cae Lawrence]], and [[Frost Lawrence]]. These were apparently close friends of hers. However, she had no memory of meeting them. 
 + 
 +She then realized that this photo was from her own future, and that she had to go back to Mersia to meet them. She then asked Mage to send her back to this planet under the guise of having read about Marcel from a different source, and wanting to test her mettle against a supposed "strongest man in the world", and one of her own species. 
 + 
 +The Mage obliged her request, sending her and her ship to 540 GD. 
 + 
 +==== Arrival in Tolikra ==== 
 + 
 +Addie landed her ship in a junkyard belonging to [[Baron Potter]], who convinced Addie to tell him the whole unfiltered truth before he would tell her where to find Marcel. Satisfied with her answer, he directed her to the bus stop near his house, and told her which bus to take. 
 + 
 +On the bus, she sat next to [[Frank Lawrence]], and had [[http://crosslink.flaminglog.net/1/020|this conversation]] with him.
