Time travel experiments go from bad to worse... and then, A LOT worse
It's about TIME
In 2045, a government-sponsored research facility, Tempus Fugit, is attempting to overcome the Time Barrier. This monumental effort is guided by enigmatic Ultra-humans: silver-skinned, six-fingered beings whose origins are unknown and whose desperate motives remain a mystery.
MISSION 1
Out One Era & In The Other
Ul' Eniram, an Ultra female, undertakes the 1st temporal expedition accompanied by 2 humans. The Pegasus travels to times unknown in an experiment intended to calibrate a genetically enhanced pilot brain. The explorers discover facts about the extreme past that are not known to modern science, and a bedeviling aspect of time becomes apparent. Eniram begins a quest that reveals the Ultras are secretly dedicated to their own incredible mission.
MISSION 2
Jurassic Spark
The Chronos, a follow-up tempcraft, continues the plan to refine an organic control brain for accurate temporal translocation. To ensure success, the Ultras provide a fail-safe rescue ship, the Kairos, crewed by Guy Webster and Ul' Larberec, a male Ultra-human. Again, things do not go well and the back-up craft fails to work as advertised. Consequently, the Ultras' true agenda becomes increasingly ominous.
MISSION 3
What Memes May Come
Commanded by Ultra-female Eneres, the Stellar Dawn proceeds with the boldest expedition yet. Despite the project's dismal track record, Ultras convince the government to send this craft to "the Cradle of Mankind" -- northeast Africa -- two million years ago. The crew of eight explorers are suddenly engaged in fantastic adventures while Eneres is caught up in an apocalyptic conflict that challenges her advanced Ultra powers.
MISSION 4
EndGamer
The Ultra population of the world unites at Tempus Fugit, and their daring, ambitious plan is revealed. Ul' Devlove, the oldest living Ultra, enlists the help of three humans to overcome extreme cosmic forces that threaten the destiny of humanity. Speeding toward a breathtaking conclusion, the ultimate value of time travel becomes clear.
