As all worn tapes do, this time adventure starts with a bit of static. In 2003, the US Government initiated an invasion of Iraq on a false pretext to retrieve a legendary artifact. This is a confession of a genius quantum physicist, who works for the Department of Defense on a highly classified project, codenamed Hourglass. To save the universe and the human species from extinction, the old physicist travels back in time, hunted by the future, and records a videotape, a revealing confession that will create a paradox in the spacetime continuum and adjust the course of history. Hopefully. The confession is based on true events.
