History: Born in Buda, in what is now Hungary, Adam Syed Isa was a
descendant of the family which helped Sultan Mehmed II conquer the Straits of
the
Bosporus and Dardanelles and thus extend the Ottoman Empire into Europe. The
family worked together to help design and build bridges, weapons and other such
items. All the men in the Isa family were skilled horsemen and warriors and
commanded the respect of enemies such as the Poles and the Zaporozhie Cossacks
alike. Although the Ottoman advance into Europe had been halted at the Battle
of Vienna, there were still plans to advance and expand during the late
1500's and one of the failed ventures that is seldom mentioned in the history
books is the advance on Galicia and Silesia. Adam had designed some special
armor-piercing weapons to use against the Polish army and on the evening of
November 1, 1599, the Ottoman force waited in ambush in the shadows of a
cemetery
just inside the border of Lviv. Cengis Isa ordered the men to quietly mobilize
as they heard the approach of the Poles singing their chant, "Kayalay,
kayalay, to hillamo" and gave the order to attack. The battle raged for half
an
hour and for a while the Poles were losing. Unexpectedly reinforcements were
called in and the Ottoman advance turned into a bloody rout. Bodies of members
of Adam's family and friends lay strewn over the ground and he steeled
himself for one last heroic effort. He rode directly into the horde of the
Polish
forces and then all went black. Unexpectedly he woke up in most unfamiliar
surroundings. He was informed he was in what was called an oxygen chamber on a
ship -- what ship? as he did not hear the sound of oars -- called the
Alcubierre. A nurse told him to take things easy and when he was released he
would be
required to report for duty as Chief Engineer. A day later, when he was
cleared for release from what was called Sickbay, he was handed a device
called a
PADD and as he turned a corner down the corridor, he was amazed to see stars
moving past out the window. "Well," he mused quietly, "even Hetman Bulba
would be impressed with me if he were here." He quickened his pace and headed
towards where he was instructed to proceed.
