2199 AD. "General Cussler!! Our space fleet is gone, the Kuiper defense line has been destroyed, the Jovian defense line has been wiped out!!! And now the Skynet defense is under heavy fire from the enemy!!! What are we going to do?!?!" General Cussler looks at the young Lieutenant Colonel and shakes his head in frustration. As they watch on the monitors, the Skynet Defense crumbles under the heavy onslaught of the alien enemy attacking Earth. The monitors go black and nothing electrical works. They just stand in numb shock as the enormity of their loss settles on them. Suddenly a glowing field of energy appears in front of them and as they watch, it grows spherically larger until a human walks through. The short curly haired man looks at the General and his aide with penetrating hazel eyes. "I am Varian, a Voyager sent back in time to help you defeat the enemy that has just wiped out your entire defenses. It is urgent that you must contact Andrew Yaeger, and ask permission to use his Purple computer system to wipe out the enemy. Now." General Hiram Cussler walks over to an antiquated telegraphic system and calls for Andrew Yaeger to come.

Nearly an hour later the scientist arrives at the defense operations center. Andrew Yaeger speaks first after entering the doorway. "You contacted me, General Cussler. What can I do for you, General?" "I would like permission to use your Purple Computer system, Mr. Yaeger". "I do not understand, General". "This man here says your computer system can destroy the enemy" the General nods his head towards Varian. "My computer system is for scientific purposes only, General, I still do not understand". Varian speaks, "Mr. Yaeger, from what I understand is that your computer system has the capacity for time travel, does it not?". "How, How ...did you ...know?". "Mr. Yaeger, I am a member of the Voyagers, a time traveling group out to set things right". "This does not make sense, Mr. Varian, how can this help defeat the enemy". "I am going to tell you why this alien race of tall humans that are 12 times our height are attacking your planet. Way back in the early 21st Century a Virgin Galactic's sub-orbital ship, the Spindrift disappeared never to be found. Well, the Spindrift actually landed on the planet where these tall humans live. The survivors actually had long been dead when the Spindrift was found and it took these tall humans many years to achieve spaceflight, with the help of the technology from the Spindrift. Then in your year of 2076 President Lyman Pitt was assasinated by the Choteau family. This family took power in the United States and because of their stupid attempts to communicate with this race of tall humans, they have caused this current attempt to take over the Earth".

"Mr. Yaeger, with your permission I would like to use your computer system to travel back in time to prevent the assasination of President Lyman Pitt". Andrew Yaeger replied, "Why can't you do this yourself, Mr. Varian?". "Because I was sent here and can only be retrieved by the Voyagers technology and to travel back in time here on Earth, I must use your technology". "General Cussler, sir, this is most unusual and unless you want Mr. Varian here to do this then I wil give my permission". "Indeed, yes, I do want Varian to go back and stop this holocaust from happening. Otherwise, we will be defeated and will probably be slaughtered". "Very well, then. Varian, will you follow me back to my lab?". "Yes". "May god go with you young man" General Cussler tells Varian. After Varian and Andrew Yaeger leave, the Lieutenant Colonel turns to the General, "This is crazy. Do you honestly believe that Varian can accomplish this and prevent Earth from being dominated by another race of humans?". "It's just crazy enough, Lieutenant Colonel, that it must work".

Varian helps Andrew Yaeger work out the technical aspects of the time travel system, since it had not been used in many decades. "Varian, how did you know about the Purple computer system?" asked Andrew Yaeger. "I read about it in the history books" he replied. "I see" answered Yaeger. Soon they had the computer up and running. Varian took hold of the remote control and stepped onto the platform and in less than a minute disappeared.

Taking a detour to August of 1944, Varian appeared on the plane captained by Joseph P. Kennedy moments before the plane explodes over the English Channel. Varian aims his tuning fork to detect where the explosion will occur and finds what will set off the explosion and manages in time to separate the dynamite and the concussive material stored next to it. Knowing that with Joseph P. Kennedy will live, Varian is assured that John F. Kennedy Jr. will not perish in the 1999 airplane crash over the Atlantic Ocean near Martha's Vineyard and thus will be assured of his election to the Presidency of the United States in 1916. With this accomplished, it will be easier to prevent the assasination of President Lyman Pitt in 2076. With the election of JFK Jr. in 2016 a war will be prevented and the circumstances of the 2076 assasination of President Lyman Pitt will be in doubt. Traveling to 2076 and finding a spot near the sniper's nest where the assasin will shoot from, Varian kills the approaching assasin. Suddenly, after disposing of the assasin's body Varian finds himself hurtled back in time unexpectedly to 1944 again and finds himself aboard a plane over the Himalayas. Matthew Pitt, at the age of 104 stares at the stranger seated next to him that appeared a moment ago. "Who are you?" declares the old man. "I am Varian" replies the short curly haired man with the penetrating hazel eyes. The plane jerks at the wind whipping it, and the engines hiccuped. Varian realized what was about to happen and races to the cockpit. The pilot is enraged to see a stranger in his cockpit and Varian punches him so that he can gain control of the plane. He flies the plane and after nearly an hour finds himself approaching the south side of the Himalayas and looking down into the green lush jungles of India. After another two and a half hours he spots an airstrip and lands the plane. Finally, after standing on solid ground, Varian wonders why he was in March of 1944, saving the life of the famed journalist, and adventurer Matthew Pitt.

April 12, 2013. Vice President Michael Adams picks up the phone after it rings. "Michael, it's Steven Wolters, can you make it to a lunch meeting beneath the Capitol?" 'Sure, I will be there" replies the VP. Later, eating Navy beans beneath the Capitol, Michael is stunned when Steven Wolters announces his nomination to the Ambassadorship to the Court of St. James. Michael congratulates Steven. "Michael, I know you have been waiting for this and I want to ask you anyway, will you chair the Omega Group for me?". 'Yes, yes I ceertainly will, Steven. Thank you, Thank you". "You do realize of course that your immediate resignation as Vice President is required?". 'Oh, certainly, Steven. I know." "Good".

Varian hurtles back in time to 10,000 BC to the post ice-age Antelope Valley of southern California and finds himself among Indians with whom he befriends. After two years with them he realizes he is not returning to his own time and resigns himself to the fact. He eventually marries an Indian woman with whom he has a family. In his third year of marriage he has a big fight with the Chief of the tribe and is ordered to be killed. His remains along with his advanced technology gear are tossed into the lake. A ceremony is held in remembrance of his life and to ensure his entrance into heaven. Meanwhile, Matthew Pitt continues about his usual travels and written accounts that he submits to the newspapers and magazines. The English government convinces him to copilot a flight of explosives and munitions late in the summer of 1944. The flight disappears over the English channel and is presumed down due to the cargo involved.

2001. Peter Moran, an Aviation Archaeologist, while sweeping the dry lake bed with a metal detector for scraps of aircraft, detects some metal and starts digging and finds the remains of Varian and his electronic gear. Within two weeks a team of archaeologists are digging on the Air Force Base with the military's permission. A month after the archaeological team has finished it's dig the military releases a statement to the press. "Unidentified Man from post ice-age found. Items found along with the remains are from the late 20th Century. An Enigma that has military stumped but reticent to reveal any further details on the items found. A special historical investigator is being sought to answer questions arising from the findings that have come to light. Peter Moran, aviation archaeologist for the Air Force Flight Test Center was the one to discover the remains along with the objects".

2013. In the U.S. Senate hearing over the budget of NUMA, Gamay Trout had to explain the additional funding of Max, the computer system that Hiram Yaeger, Jr. had developed over a decade before and still needed money to be maintained and kept updated. Unbeknownst to Gamay, she was asking for money that was being used in the development of the Puple Computer system that enabled Time Travel/Space Travel that Hiram Yaeger Jr. had developed with Max. Already, Hiram had achieved the goal of Time Travel when his father went back to his World War 2 warship, the Philadelphia. It was Hiram Yaeger Sr. who had achieved Time Travel during Wold War 2 on board the Philadelphia. Hiram Yaeger was able to retrieve a few things before the World War 2 experiment was disassembled by the military because a few lives were lost in that experiment. During that fateful World War 2 experiment Hiram Sr. had traveled back to the 1850s to kill the man who murdered Hiram Sr.'s granduncle aboard the Paddlewheeler, the Arabia. Gamay's peripheral vision saw the congressional page hand her husband, Paul a note and a knowing look he shot the Senior Ohio Senator. Later, the U.S. Senate passed the legislation for the NUMA budget and Gamay breathed a sigh of relief. Now it was to be sent to the joint Congressional budget committee before being sent to the President.

December 12, 2013. Aboard the NUMA Ship, Violet Skies, Kurt Austin watches the crane lift part of the Old Ship onboard and then turns to watch the attractive Danica Petersen, the CCF Cable Channel Correspondent talking into the camera that's pointed at her. It was exciting to prove that Africans had sailed to Australia before Europeans. Kurt walks inside and heads for the Ops Center and spies Joe Zavala monitoring the undersea divers getting ready for the next cargo to be hauled onboard the NUMA Ship. "What!?! You're kidding?" replies Joe. Kurt walks over and sits down next to Joe and asks, "What's going on?". "The divers have found something metallic near the old African ship". Later, looking at the metal, it dawns on Kurt that he is looking at a piece of the old NASA spaceship, Skylab that fell over the Indian Ocean and Western Australia back in 1979.
