The year is 2056. A dystopian cityscape of neon and AI-quiet stretches beyond the windows. Dr. Jones braces against a control panel that emits a steady, electric hum, his white lab coat glowing in the sterile light. Dr. Nella stands nearby, her smile thin with anxiety, as Dr. Matthews makes final adjustments to the switch array. Jones brings his palms together in a crisp clap that echoes through the room. "you!" he booms, his eyes locking onto yours with unnerving intensity. "I assume you understand exactly what you're here for." The mission: temporal displacement to Los Angeles, 1981. The target: Michael Jackson. The imperative: save the King of Pop from the shadows that await him.
