Summary

A U.S. geological team, operating under a United Nations directive, is sent to evaluate natural resources in a remote region of Siberia, far into the vast, uncharted plains of Eastern Russia. Rather than finding oil, they uncover a deposit of a previously unknown mineral. Defense Department scientists determine that this mineral is the same substance used to power an alien artifact in U.S. custody. The device is known as the EON (Extraterrestrial Object Nexus). The EON was discovered in 1919 by Colonel Emerson at the location of the Tunguska event. At the time, Emerson was leading an American military unit responsible for shipping war supplies from Vladivostok to the Eastern Front during World War I. Experiments conducted by the Department of Defense have revealed that objects placed inside the EON are sent back in time by hundreds of thousands of years. The U.S. researchers were unable to decipher its design or replicate its energy source. Eventually, the device—marked Top Secret—was put into storage, awaiting future scientific breakthroughs.

Storyline

The game's narrative centers on an alien mineral known as Siberite, capable of enabling cold fusion and powering an extraterrestrial device. Siberite and the device, called EON, are uncovered by an American mission in Russia during World War I. EON is later identified as a time machine, able to send objects to the past, but by the time of its discovery, Siberite has been depleted and research halts. Then, in the new millennium, massive reserves of the mineral are rediscovered in Siberia, allowing the U.S. to extract enough for limited time travel. The United States devises a strategy to send a small military unit two million years into the past. There, they will mine Siberite and move it across the Bering Land Bridge into Alaska, a region destined to fall under American control. The most elite soldiers are chosen, given their mission, and informed that the journey is one-way. This action creates a new timeline where the mineral is now in Alaska, and the U.S. emerges as the sole global superpower, thanks to an endless energy supply. In this version, EON was not discovered by the U.S., but by the Russians. The USSR grows resentful of American dominance. Their frustration escalates to anger when Soviet researchers uncover signs of American presence and Alaskite, the source of U.S. energy, deep in Siberia. A Soviet team is dispatched through the EON, now known as TAWAR, to confront the American intruders and reclaim what they believe is rightfully theirs.
