A perversion of nature.
Unseen, merciless, deadly...
it lurks in the shadows of Alpha.
One by one the Alphans fall...
Until only one Alphan is left.
Until only one hope remains.

He saw a future without pain, without suffering, without end
He unlocked the mysteries of life and death,
And united a world, launching a new age.
Only to find that death was sacred.
And that life without death led to damnation.
And salvation would be found...in pain and suffering.
From the depths of madness, he will change a world,
Forging a new path leading ultimately to exile in the far reaches of space.
Where he will face eternity...alone.
Until a chance meeting offers him the possibility to rule once more.
But his new subjects will not come from his world, but from ours.

A looming darkness... an ancient threat...
Friends and foes from the near and distant past converge to face the ultimate challenge...
Where the destiny of Moonbase Alpha will be decided.
Where past and present collide.
Where all will be revealed.
For every ending has a beginning...
