Six months have passed since the battle for the DHC city. Bryan Mursley (previously Steve), who recently became an intelligence officer, is investigating a mysterious incident that led to the death of all members of a scientific expedition. The whole thing seemed fishy from the start, but Bryan has no idea that the thread he's unravelling will lead him to the mystery of Fantasia and its silent creator. Bryan also doesn't realize that he and his girlfriend are destined to play a key role in the upcoming changes, and that this role will demand not only determination and courage, but also tremendous self-sacrifice. But maybe that's for the best. When you know how high the stakes are, it's much harder to stay calm and collected, and much easier to lose your head and slip up, which may end up costing you everything.
