I.G.T.T.E. Season 2 Episode 1
The Last Time He'll Ever Trust An Attic (Sci-Fi Humor Series continues!)
[We resume following Jerry, who went through what looked like it was just an attic door to escape this “cat” (that he couldn’t believe was actually not from Earth) because this being “Ferdinand” was only trying to enslave him.]
P.S. I made a video trailer for Season 2, and you can see it here:
Going through an attic portal connecting one part of the Earth to the next isn’t such a big deal among our intergalactic citizens; however, to an uninitiated human who’d never seen nor experienced such a thing before, it was a harrowing experience.
Since Jerry didn’t know how it worked, nor how to control his destination, he put himself entirely at the mercy of the last preset route that had been programmed into this particular door portal.
All around Jerry, wild colors whizzed past, the blues, purples, yellows, and oranges zooming in and out of focus as if he was on a rollercoaster, without even the comfort of even having a seat to grab onto while he screamed.
Behind him, the intergalactic citizen locked in a fur-bound feline body named Ferdinand leaped through the portal to chase him.
Yet Jerry was a difficult target to follow through a space-compression subterranean Earth tunnel since he didn’t know that he had to focus on one direction in order to come out the other side somewhere.
Jerry was so distracted and terrified by all the colors and the terrific speed at which he moved that he was focused on a new direction every few seconds. Thus Jerry ended up going in quantum spirals all over the Earth’s tunneling systems, narrowly colliding with all kinds of intergalactizen cross-traffic.
Meanwhile, something else was coming alive in metal plate in Jerry’s skull from the surgery.
What Jerry didn’t know is that passing through the A.T.T.I.C. door also meant passing through the I.G.G.T.T.E. frequency streaming down from the roof down into his bedroom that had woken him up in the first place. Getting closer to this stream of energy in the middle of his room is what had made him levitate. After he’d become completely immersed in this beam of energy, it did incredibly unusual things to his brain since the tissues around the newly inserted metal plate in his head were still healing, and thus open for “adjustments” to receive new information directly into his brain’s synapses, which was a bit like getting his brain tissues lit up like a Christmas tree from the inside out, and then inverted and spun in a psychedelic cyclone of information saturation.
As a result, a bit of crystal in the plate holding his head together had accidentally downloaded part of the Intergalactizen’s Guide to Taming Earthlings transmission into it, and the rapid compressions of matter and space around Jerry were reconnecting his brain circuitry with this new information.
When Jerry was on the verge of tears from the dizzying experience of portal travel and reverted to crying out the slang phrase he’d heard his grandmother say when he was a child, “Oh my Giddy Aunt, what the hell is this?”
He activated the guide in his head, which had a shorthand “name” used to activate explanations, and that name was “Gideont.”
The guide interpreted his hurriedly spoken exclamation of “Giddy Aunt” as the command trigger “Gideont,” and so it proceeded into the explanation of an A.T.T.I.C.
The Guide told Jerry:
You are proceeding through an A.T.T.I.C. portal, which is short for the (A)bove-(T)errain-(T)eleportation-(I)nterspatial-(C)atapulter.
