The Engine - N A

Derrick Whitfield

Set in 2114, this futuristic tale envisions an advanced world free from several present-day problems such as war, famine, climate change, resource shortages, violent crimes, and traffic congestion. The Quantum Plasma Fuel Mechanism (or the Engine) and the first-time machine were created in 2024, and they kept evolving into the technological marvel we know today.
As with any invention, there is always a possibility that people will exploit it for their own gain and with nefarious intentions. In this case, T.E.A.M, the Time Enforcement Advanced Missions Agency, under the leadership of Kelley Freeman and supervised by Captain Ben Thompson and Exley James, has entered the scene to tackle the issue. A new underground group called The Union of Ophidian has emerged as a threat, and after identifying the mole that has penetrated deep into their organization, Ben and the rest of T.E.A.M. find themselves in the middle of a Time Realignment that occurs right before their eyes.
After capturing Hanson, Ben realizes that he is too late for revenge. As Hanson gloats, a new reality unfolds, transforming Captain Ben Thompson into Public Enemy Number 1. The Union of Ophidian and Hanson have seized control over Quantum Plasma Technology and the Engine, creating a corrupt society despite its technological advancements. Ben is racing against time to restore the past and safeguard the future. Hanson and the Union of Ophidian threaten to control the future, making it imperative for Ben to act quickly.
