In eternity, there was no hurry.
In the year A.D 3198 humankind is thriving and striving for the stars. Among them stand the Mortalis, flesh and blood beings who can live extensively by xulon, a life-preserving plant that gives health and vitality when ingested.

Preparations to travel to the stars are in its second phase. Follow three hundred-year-old (or so) Lieutenant Colonel Marion Stefanova on her latest mission to Helion 3, a class M planet in the Proxima Zetauri System.

"It's just that my emotions are still a little raw."

Marion is a seasoned commander; she is also seasoned in loss. Her assignments are to shuttle back and forth between the developing colonies in Helion 3 and Roma 2 system. Pleased with the progress, Marion takes a solo shuttle to Roma 2 for a little break.

"Little by little, the shaking grew more intense, alarms began sounding, and Marion awoke to the realization that the shuttle was out of control."

Her shuttle sinks into a time-space wormhole that crash lands her back to the nineteenth century. Found by a Lakota tribe who are suspicious of her, Marion helps them against the diseases that have struck them, before setting off in the search for her ship.

"... you're such a long way from home."

"I'd say that's an understatement,"

Between language barriers, capture, social suspicion, imprisonment, and being defenseless in ways that she isn't accustomed to - Marion struggles to retain her composure in a time that lacked the advanced technologies that she's accustomed to using. She is relentlessly pursued by Union Officer, Major Thomas Conrad for her futuristic knowledge. One thing is for certain, Marion will do anything to secure her ship and escape back to her allies. It just boils down to her survival skills - and a matter of leverage.
