Wayne-Zeno Uelisch and Tarja on the traces of their past. They were transferred to the Chron bastion Tilmun shortly before the destruction of the universe ship. This has asked for help, but has not further verified what it is about. The Chron Bastion is in the star empire of Bahrein. The empire is formed by three closely spaced star clusters. When Zeno and Tarja materialize, they find themselves in a VR world without initially realizing it. Zeno's emotional world escalates and his previously suppressed libido causes him and his partner to break new ground.
