Thayne Dedrich
Thayne and his group were hired to steal the product infos from a groundbreaking new goo from a corporation.

His team is composed of : At the beginning of the mission, Dax has a bad feeling. Tieg tries to reassure himi by reminding him Thayne wouldn’t let anything happen to him.
 * Dax (14), a kid Thayne took under his wing, he is a hacker prodigee
 * Tieg, who is doing lookout
 * Yeko (to check, unsure about spelling), the getaway driver.

Around the company building, there are not many guards. The group gets the sense that they are relying on a deeply complex security system. Dax however manages to disable it, even though it was difficult, even for him. Dax and Thayne get in, Dax eventually finds a console in which to plug himself into so he can find the information they were hired to steal.

While Dax is searching, Tieg tries to use his com to say something to Thayne and Dax. However he gets cut off, which sends immediate red flags to Thayne. Dax gets what they were looking for, and they quickly leave.

When they exit the building, they see helicopters and guards circling the building. They quickly head to Yeko so they can leave, but as they approach, the car explodes. Dax is wounded by the explosion and Thayne gets closer to heal him. Even with Thayne’s healing, Dax remains hurt, and they are now surrounded by 10 severely armed people.

Thayne grabs Dax in order to protect him, but he gets badly beaten, and Dax is grabbed and taken away by two guards.

At that moment, Tieg walks up to Thayne. Apparently he had sold his team. Thayne theatens him generously, however it is no help and Tieg shoots him right in the forehead. Thayne dies.

The Infinity Trigger
Everyone is now in Copernicus’s lab. There is a machine, with circular pad, pillars all around and a big hoop. Copernicus asks everyone to stand in the center.

After Thayne asks him for explanation, he gets into more details. He explains that his mistake made objects from some universes getting dispersed to the wrong universes. It creates disruption, thus these objects need to be found. He gives them a ring with an infinity symbol on it, and puts a bracelet with a tiger stripes and a computer screen on Issac.

Copernicus also casually mentions they need to bring back someone from their quest. It can be kidnapping, unless they agree to come. In short, they need to find the object that does not belong. Find the tear in reality from which it enters, and then kidnap bring back someone.

Copernicus operates the machine, and through the hoop, they see different places appear rapidly. Copernicus explains this machine is called the Infinity Trigger, as it shoots people to timelines.

Eventually, they see the image through the hoop stabilising, to a place with dirt roads, forests, and a city in the distance. Suddenly, they are there.
