Qubhed

Theorizing that one could jet pack within his own internet, Dr. Qubhed led an elite group of scientists into the desert to develop a top-secret project known as Tallon Zek Times. Pressured to prove his theories or lose funding, Dr. Qubhed prematurely stepped into the project accelerator, and vanished.

He awoke to find himself in an old post, suffering from partial lurkdom and facing a mirror username that was not his own. Fortunately, contact with his own message board was maintained through private mail transmissions with Al, the project observer, who appears in the form of a instant message, that only Dr. Qubhed can see and read. Trapped in the posts, Dr. Qubhed finds himself leaping from thread to thread, putting things right that once went wrong, and hoping each time that his next reply will be the link to his homepage.
