The powers that be in the Universe have noticed the strange events that have occurred in the Endline. Something, or someone, left that area and arrived on Earth. It seems to have taken the form of a human, and is now wandering through a very dangerous area. A volunteer is sent to find whatever it is, and bring it back. They must find out who or what that is. They need answers.
Redler has seen also the events of the Endline. He is very worried now. Something has come through, and he's afraid of what--or who--it might be. This fear is new to him. Never has anything made him feel this way. He does not want to lose control of everything he has gained. This person must be eliminated.
Then, something very strange and unsettling is discovered by both Redler and the Universe officials. Endline, it has suddenly disappeared! What once was there is now void of any life or existence, as if it never was there. For the Universe, it becomes a tragedy of science and discovery. For Redler, the event has a sort of calming effect.
This turn of events has made Max an even more desired target of inquiry. More questions concerning him and his world are being asked, and he is the key. The hunt is on!
