by Tae Lee w/Gecko Studios In the distant future, a group of elite agents are gathered for some very special missions of retrieving valuable information from the part through time travel. Since many missions take numerous years to accomplish, these agents go through an extension process, where their life spans are extended through alterations to their bodily organs. Equipped with longer life spans and other advantageous weapons, these agents must travel through time with no certainty of succeeding or ever coming back. On one such dangerous mission, many things go very wrong, and Hagun finds himself caught up in a web of deceit, betrayal, and unexpected revelations about himself, his love, and other members of the group.
