The End or a New Beginning?

by Samuel Marlowe

As we stand in this huge room with a tunnel stretching into the distance, we are introduced to the director of this facility - Dr. van Montfort
Apparently, we have been in training all this time with the CSIRO and we are actually working for the "Infinity Corps" - a force reporting to the UNIC.
 
She starts banging on about homeline and another world and time that we need to go back to recover a virus that is polluting the other worlds and timelines. Creating Zombies
 
We cannot take anything to this world that is in conflict with it's technology level, so must equip ourselves with items from the late 19th century - the time that we are being returned to.
We also can't leave anything behind that will affect the timeline - including dead travelers.
 
The UNIC base that we will be transported to is understood to have a lead on someone who is developing the Zombie virus and the capability to spread it across the infinite worlds.
To do so, we are being returned to a time that is presumably before the initial virus spread (Around the time of the Spanish Flu post WWI).
It is critical that we find the virus to bring back to homeline and preferably discover how the virus will be spread across worlds.
 
One interesting piece of information given to us that may be important is that the Infinity Corps believe that Klaus' "daughter" Liesl is actually an alien!!!!
 
As we are preparing to leave, multiple soldiers all dressed in black under the command of a "Director Christy Garrett" appear behind us. They are from an organisation called "Stop Watch"
The people from SW don't seem to want us to go through and Dr van Montfort is telling Garrett that they do not have authority here or anywhere.
 
After a short but heated discussion, Rosmary decides that actions speak louder than words and opens fire on Garrett.
The fire fight that ensued was bloody and quick with several SW people down before a golden skinned, bright red-haired Dr McSwain appeared and put some sort of shield up between us and the SW troops.
 
This gave us an opportunity to escape through the now activated tunnel. Dr van Montfort managed to activate it just as they were hit by a bullet.
 
On the other side, we find ourselves in a dark room, wondering what situation we have gotten ourselves into now....
