Roland Jarvis stood before a Clock in Zürich and received a vision of the future… a vision broadcast from across dimensions and time.
The vision Echoed through this universe, codenamed TS-RUBICON, and another artist sensed its presence. In that echo, Carrie Campbell began to see a universal language of line, shape and form. Their shared connection to this vision brought her and Jarvis together. With her help Jarvis began to piece together the meaning behind vision, and perhaps its source.
It was a roadmap… one leading humanity to a destiny that, to him, was perfect.
Two paths lay before him: One leading to a gifted multidisciplinary technologist in Japan, Akira Tsukasa. Another to an expert in theories of alternative sentience and intelligence, Devra Bogdanovich. His desire: To gain Control of the XM Portals, forever. To ensure that he can shape his universe’s destiny in a manner that is unalterable and inevitable.
Tsukasa and Bogdanovich had both collaborated previously, the result of their collaboration was an experiment that, if successful, would slow the spread of the unknown XM entity, Machina, for a period of several weeks across September and October.
One individual lies at the core of this universe’s fate — Roland Jarvis — he pulls its outcome towards his vision — but this fate remains variable…
Other voices are reaching out towards him: Ezekiel Calvin, part spy, part scientist; Misty Hannah, a magician masquerading as trickster; The sentient algorithm known as ADA, born in the collision between detection systems and the quantum particles they were designed to study.
An Discovery awaits him — an epiphany — but what that epiphany contains will be determined by the Discoverie Anomalie Series’ impact on the state of XM in TS-RUBICON.
