Meanwhile, tensions are simmering along the border between the Alliance and the Coalition. A ceasefire was declared, but both sides are bitterly licking their wounds.
Cade's plans are interrupted when he learns of a dangerous operation, code-named The Omega Protocol. Alpha has already warned him about "Omega," an entity from the future whose only goal is to cause chaos and destruction.
