The Earth is in an increasingly vulnerable position. Veteran politician, Thornton Manning has been elected Chief Executive of Earth. Most think he's a hero, but a loner. Tonight is February 27, 2068, and Earth's global representatives are scheduled to sign a vital Pact with Ambassador Shaesar from Nelta. Fearing a close relationship with the strange, super-powerful Neltan species, the rise of technophobic terrorists is coming, and they need to be met head-on before they can launch attacks on the massive spacecraft under construction for the voyage to Nelta.

Thornton Manning knows without a doubt, Elisa is the answer to his problems, but she could also expose his off-Earth illegal experimentation He has no choice.
