[. . . ] The development of gravity-neutralizing technology made it possible to build entire cities far above the Earth's surface. Caldoria, the first of the skyborne cities, was officially dedicated in the year 2300. Eight years later came the first formal contact with an alien race. Earth was visited by aliens who called themselves the "Cyrollans. " The purpose of the visit was to invite humanity to join the "Symbiotry of Peaceful Beings, " an alliance of intelligent beings whose objective is to benefit from the sharing of knowledge and culture. The Cyrollans said that they would give us ten years to deliberate their proposal, after which time they would send a delegation of individuals to meet with our representatives in order to extend a more formal invitation. Now, on the eve of humanity's transcendence to the heavens, has come an invention that jeopardizes all of our hard-won advances. Time travel was originally hailed as a gateway to our past, but the people soon realized that in the wrong hands this technology could be more dangerous than any weapon ever created. For this reason, the government formed the elite guard known as the Temporal Protectorate. As a member of the Temporal Protectorate, it is your job to safeguard history from sabotage. You monitor the space/time continuum from the Temporal Security Annex, a top-secret installation where lies Pegasus, the only time machine known to be in existence. But so long as the technology to create such a machine exists, the threat remains . . . Getting Started As The Journeyman Project is a totally immersive experience, you will first have to know how to interact with this world before being able to play. To learn about the game's interface, click on the "Interface Overview" button on the main menu. When you are familiar with the interface, return to the main menu and click the "New Game" button. After the background movie and the foreboding dream sequence, you will awaken in your apartment. While your BioTech Interface runs its diagnostics, your clock radio blares a news story about the return of the Cyrollans - this is the big day. Once your interface is ready, control of the game will be in your hands To move about your apartment, click the up or down movement button (or arrow keys on the keyboard) to move forward or backward eight feet, respectively. A grunt indicates that you just walked into a wall, and cannot move any further in that direction. The left and right arrow buttons turn you left and right. To get to the Temporal Security Annex, you'll have to use the transporter on the first floor of the apartment building. From the bed, turn north (watch the compass above the view window) and move forward to the desk. Take the transport card that's on the desk by clicking and dragging it down into your inventory, and then letting go. Next, go through the west door of the bedroom by moving as close as you can get to it and clicking on it, then moving forward. [. . . ] Each day, all news stories worldwide are automatically collected at the Temporal Security Annex, and two new historical logs are pressed. One remains in the historical log computer of the Temporal Security Annex, and the other is brought back 200 million years in the past, where it is stored as a security measure. If history should be deliberately changed, the disc which has been placed in the distant past will not be updated with the new version of history, as it exists at a point in time prior to any probable change. The disc which is still at the Temporal Security Annex, on the other hand, will be updated with the altered version of history. [. . . ]
