THE STORY
"I made a big mistake today. Feels like my life has been one long string of mistakes. How many times have you made a decision and then wished more than anything you could go back in time and change it? If you could, you would, right? Well thanks to my father, a brilliant scientist, I believe I can. The key is the tachyon. A particle that can travel faster than the speed of light. In the past, such an idea was only theoretical. But my father discovered the tachyon and developed a way to harness its power. Or at least, he started to. He disappeared 6 months ago before he could complete his work – building a tachyon drive that can warp time and space – and left me with nothing but his notes and a million questions. I intend to pick up where he left off. This won't be easy, of course, but nothing worth doing ever is. But I am compelled to finish his work – to build a tachyon drive, and use it to go back… to fix the mistakes of my past… and maybe find out what happened to my father."
