PREVIOUSLY...
After the 'Pathfinder' station was taken by the heroes, efforts went underway to decrypt the station's data from its cyber-networks that were connected to the AI. When the station severed itself from it, however, much of the data was either lost or corrupted, meaning anything they could find about the AI's whereabouts or motives seemed to come up empty. But, the attempts weren't fruitless. In searching through what little data had been uncovered, a variety of dossiers made by the machines were found. Some were of the heroes that had been taken to the station before the takeover, others were of individuals of high priority by the AI.
One name in particular stood out, at least to Alec Duggan, who recognized the name from his universe. 'Commander Shepard.'
A hero who fought against a race of machine beings called 'The Reapers' from attacking and destroying the advanced civilizations of the galaxy. If the AI had interest in Shepard, it could only mean trouble. The dossier had tracked everything Shepard had done and kept tabs on everywhere he went, and indicated they would try kidnapping him once he visited 'Project Base,' after saving a Dr. Amanda Kenson. The Pathfinder had working teleporters, but they could only send, not receive.
A rash plan was put in place, thanks to Alec's insistence they try rescuing the Commander before he was taken. A team would be sent through a teleporter to Shepard's location, rescue him from the AI before their plan could take place, and take shelter in a safe location until they could be exfiltrated back to the Pathfinder. There were hiccups with the rescue, but they succeeded in saving Shepard.
The AI's machines tried to replace Shepard with a doppelgänger, and frame him as a terrorist by destroying both Project Base, and an alien colony within the solar system of the base's location. The fight that ensued with the machines ended with time itself breaking, as Shepard's own timeline began bleeding into itself. The Machines and heroes were interfering with a 'fixed point in time' that involved Shepard himself, causing a time paradox that could destroy the universe. But, before that could happen, a mysterious figure came in to fix it, accompanied by some familiar faces.
'Randi,' as he called himself, got everyone out of Project Base before things got worse. By taking Shepard out of his galaxy, it temporarily saved his life and his home universe. But it was not a permanent fix. They would need to solve it or else leave that universe in an uncertain state. For right now, Randi contacted the Pathfinder, letting them know of what happened, and that he was taking care of the injured members of the team. A rendezvous was made so both sides could meet up and talk further in person.
NOW....
As you might expect, things have gotten complicated... or more complicated. Randi has sent the Pathfinder an SOS. His own station is under attack, and is in need of help before they are overrun. The coordinates given are to another version of Earth, in particular, a place called 'Big Shell.'
And the enemy Randi and co face were simply called, 'Heartless.'
-----------------------------------------
The arriving team would land there. With a flash of light, they would be perfectly put right on the H of the landing zone exactly. Probably the easiest teleporting any of them had ever done, since the exact position they needed to go was literally right there. From up top, they could see over the whole of 'Big Shell,' and nothing seemed out of the ordinary so far. The hexagonal base seemed barren, with only passing seagulls overhead being the only company to them from this world. A heavy fog, however, was passing over the place, and while things were visible for now, it was surely to get worse as time passed.
Yet, where to look? Randi had left his message vague, cut off by his attackers before he could explain further. But, nothing was on fire or smoking, nor were there any sounds of battle. And from how calm everything was, it wouldn't be hard to miss.
Wherever the others were, things certainly weren't as calm. Besides Tokui and Shepard, who were left to rest up their wounds in their own medical beds, Randi had undergone some of his own counter-espionage against the AI and her forces. Right beside the medical room, there were several pods filled with 'scattered,' those who had been abducted by the AI and thrown across the multiverse. Randi had managed to 'catch' some of them as they fell through time and space, and put them in the pods for their own safety.
But, as alarms began to ring out across the station, all of them would be awakened. The pods would be opened so they weren't trapped inside, but they would all feel incredibly nauseous and light-headed. The last thing the people in the pods would remember was the flash of green light overtaking their senses, before they began falling endlessly, like they had been thrown out an airplane and left to plummet from the sky.
