Story

Many people dream of taking a glimpse of the future. If we can just see how thing swould turn out, we would use the knowledge to make a better choice.

Dr. Sean Collins took that idea and added his visionary genius: he devised an experiment to look backward in time, to answer the question, was time ever created or did it always exist? Could he witness the big bang and unlock the secrets of the Universe?

Dr. Collins saw much more than he bargained for. He learned many secrets of the universe as his mind touched God's and the evil opposing him.

He withdrew from the scientific community, lost his position at the prestigious Happenings Project, and began to write books, such as the "Face of God," warning of the impending apocalypse. The popular culture and Zeitgeist of our times received him with open arms, never realizing he wrotes these works as non-fiction.

Best-selling author. Crazy scientist. Dr. Collins disappeared into some dark hole in the Arizona desert, all but forgotten to the world, dismissed as simply a fad.

But do not be deceived. Collins is busy at work creating new machines beyond our imagining, inspired only by the dawn of time itself.

Dr. Collins set something in motion. He is fated to become much more than a famous scientist or religious nutcase. He must set right what wrong things he set in motion. If he can survive his inner turmoil.

Unleash the Power of Time

Time flows and fluxes just like electricity. Those with arcane knowledge can harness it, and use this new power source in ways you may never imagine.

On adventures with Dr. Collins, you will experience

Passively observe the beginning of time through spacetime lensing.

Unlimited power to create the first exosuits in earth history.

Teleportation through time and space.

Scry though the sum of history as if it were an afternoon TV special.

Bear witness to weapons that can dispatch the spirits of the evil ones.

Stand in the gap for all humanity when the invasion begins.

Which side of Collins do you identify with?

You and I may have two minds about a decision, but Collins has many.

Are you a succesful atheist Scientist, as Collins was before the accident? (Issue 0, page 4, panel 2, "I know the answer is here")

Are you a religious zealot, who writes best selling religious texts? (Issue 0, page 3, panel 5)

Are you a warrior, intent on defending the world? (Issue 0, page 5, panel 2, remove text inset)

Are you a victim of circumstance, being in the wrong place at the wrong time? (Issue 1, page 7, panel 1 or 2 -- Collins in cuffs)
