Storyline
While some have risen to the challenge of making a new life in this universe, countless more are deeply unhappy. They wish to return to their own time and space, to see their loved ones again, to undo all the changes caused thus far by the temporal anomaly crisis. Doctor Tolian Soran has a predictable answer: the Nexus, the time-and-space-defying temporal energy ribbon that can give everyone the reality they most desire. However, this time, Doctor Soran has overwhelming support at his back. The plan for mass exodus through the Nexus is moving forward—but it is up to YOU to ensure that it happens in the safest way possible. And the Nexus might not only take people in, but let others out…[1]
