The Story

Background

The Story starts in Summer 2032 in alpha-8, the world we know. Mankind still lives his old way carrying out silly wars, obeying to corrupt politicans and to pollute the environment at its best. Although the technology has taken some more development and physics took some more steps into understanding nature the life of the common man stayed the same. Wars and environmental pollution did their best to make more and more places on earth hostile towards life. To deal with the increasing overpopulation and the loss of usable living places the humans started to live more in cities than on the country side. Places with healthy nature became less common and cities started to create nature protection zones. The beginning of the story takes place in one of those cities, a city located at a mountain side acompained by a lake, luckily not yet polluted in a way that it is risky for your health to even swim in it. Here do live the members of the Team Epsylon, a team composed of rather unconventional living beeings that work together to make the world a safer place. Security forces do exist but most of them are consumed by corruption, a common phenomena in this world. Something like Nature Protection has been neglected since a long time. Nature has become nothing more than a goods that needs not to be cared about.

The Beginning

It is late this afternoon where Sam and Tedeon are taking a nap on the near hillside. Georgo joins up to tell them about the informations he squeezed out of his informant from the shany towns. They learned some days ago that the old laboratory in the valley side has found some new people inhabiting it. A couple of month ago they took out a drug dealer ring which used that laboratory as their production and shipping facility. Since then the building had been neglected. But now there seems to be life in there; non autorized one. Sam and Georgo assume that those guys might have returned. Deciding to pull off once more a night operation they decide that both of them are enought to deal with it and that Tedeon and Sean should take a nap. Approaching the car though Sean shows up on the window pulling of their sad little face. Sam knows quickly that she wants to participate in this one. As Tedeon does not use his veto as her father she is up for the party too.

After the nightfall the three take on the laboratory. They notice quickly that the building has been befitted with a couple of guards. It is thus time for some stealth operation to get in there unseen. They know from their last intrusion that this building holds subterrain laboratories and appropriate equipment. Down they search through the labs and find out that those people in charge here somehow managed to get their hands on the old research documents of Sam that he created back in those days where he researched his portal generation device. Sam knew that with the uncomplete documents nobody would be able to recontruct his portal. Unfortunatly those people seem to have knowledge about xendronite crystals which goes beyond what physics can explain at the time. After some more searching around they find out who might be responsible for this and an address of a dimension: alpha-10, the world Odjin comes from. Knowing that in this world do exist people that would love to own such a device they decide to head over to alpha-10 with the entire team to investigate further. They have to make sure that this technology is not misused by the wrong people.

The next day they set off for alpha-10 not knowing that they just ended up in one of the most tricky cases they ever had.
