My Mother always told me to be careful where you begin because you never know where you might end up and I will be honest for most of my life I believed her. To set the record straight I was born to the renowned Scientist Morgan Anthony Whelton and shall we say Actress Linda Emily Harrison. They were of course married but my Mother was far from liberal while my Father conservative. I was the last child born of four the baby you might say and perhaps that why I had a lot more freedom than my brothers Marcus and Nigel and of course my sister Christina. Now you might be wondering who I am well my name is Amanda Ericka Whelton and I was destined to become the Agent with the codename Transporter and this is my story.
I had a wonderful Christian upbringing and thanks to my tutor Alexander Holt and especially Father Graham in addition to the constant love and support of my parents my childhood was quite ideal. It goes without saying that my family was wealthy and my parents allowed me to indulge my love of the arts. My youth to be honest never really became that exciting until I was accepted into the prodigious Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts in New York City. Suffice to say I was in for a few more surprises that I would have expected.
After a fun filled summer after my thirteenth birthday where the entire family had traveled to China to visit a few of my Fathers friends I soon learned about what I shall only call the Agency up close and personal. Perhaps a little back story might be in order my Father Doctor Morgan Anthony Whelton is a renowned Scientist and Physician and my Mother Linda Emily Harrison is a famous Actress. So the fact that we were wealthy and my parents were always being called away my Father to some lecture or another and my Mother to some exotic shooting location for her latest film did not really phase me. Since my tutor Alexander and Father Graham were always there whenever I needed someone to talk to.
As I was saying I had to put up with Marcus, Christina, and Nigel on the trip to China and for the most part they were fun to hang around but like I have already said I was in for a revelation. Now I should mention since I was a child my Father had kept me on a special medication called Whelton Five or W5 for short. Who would have guessed the drug I had been taking was actually a psi-inhibitor that my very own Father had been dosing me with until they felt I was old enough to use my abilities responsibly. So when on what was to be first day at what we students call LaGuardia Arts when everyone the entire family was in attendance even Mom and Dad at breakfast I should have picked up a clue. Suffice to say when I had asked about why my morning medication was missing and my Parents looked at me and said Amanda brace yourself it’s time for you to be filled in on the family secret it has only gotten better ever since.
My Father informed me that the reason he had been prescribing W5 was because I like my brothers and sister I had inherited a unique gene sequence that had granted me psionic powers which W5 had suppressed until now. My Mother had continued informing me that both her, Father and even my brothers and sisters were members of an Organization which was to only be known hence forth as the Agency. They had then laid out for me how LaGuardia Arts was in reality a training ground for young special agents of the Agency. My Father had let me know that my life was still my own and I was free to pursue the arts as was my intention or even the sciences if I chose but that from now on I would be learning how to use my inherent gifts to aid the Agency and protect our world from threats both alien and domestic.
The next four years at LaGuardia were a blur with training in my gifts which included telekinesis, teleportation and even regeneration. My father had told me that my mind was able to manipulate the molecular structure of my body both internally and externally which in turn made my quite impressive abilities possible. I had been given the codename of the Transporter. No doubt due to my ability to teleport more than five miles even with a passenger. There were many missions where my talents were put to use smuggling, kidnapping, rescue, even breaking and entering were operations where I saw action but mostly I was a blind. Basically meaning even today if someone were to ask me exactly who I may have transported or why I could not tell you. I relied on my training and an elaborate code which would place me in locations where field agents were able to find me to aid in their transport.
After graduation I was enrolled in the New York Film Academy where I acquired an Associate’s Degree in Fine Arts in Filmmaking and Acting as well as a one year conservatory program filmmaking program. Which I used to I continue on to St. John’s University for my Bachelors of Science in Television and Film. Finally on to Yale University where I was able to complete the three year Masters of Fine Arts degree in Acting in two years instead of three due to my talents.
Of course during that entire time I traveled the globe due to the extensive contacts of the New York Film Academy appearing in stage productions and minor roles around the world while continuing to work for the Agency which eventually led to my run in with the Department of Supernatural and Extranormal Affairs or DSEA for short. Basically I was set up I had been placed to perform a standard snatch and grab when suddenly the agent who had passed all the required security checks during our transport stuck a needle in my arm and I blacked out. I woke I know not how much later after having the strangest dreams which seem to still haunt me. I heard from a speaker in the room that I had transferred to the DSEA until further notice and I was to clean up dress in the cloths provided and proceed to a briefing with an Agent Jarvis. From the headache I had and with memory of a drug which I had heard my brother the chip off the old block Scientist Marcus and my Father talking about the symptoms seemed to match. So I had a feeling I knew what they had drugged me with and with my luck it was the new hyper-mutagen known as Diazol.
Well not much gets me down as I am pretty even tempered and all of my personal equipment was gone. So I rose showered dressed and prepared myself to find out just what the DSEA had in store with me. Granted I could have teleported away and went on the run but I realized something first. Either the DSEA was working against the Agency I had served loyally for over ten years which meant I needed to find out more or in reality the DSEA was the Agency and I needed to find out more. So it looked like I was up for another audition which meant soon it would be Light, Camera, Action and Transporter was ready for her close up.
