Mission History

• (CA7.1) Home Is Where the Hate Is... - Returning to a very different station than that which they left, the heroes find CA3 is now the closest thing to a safe haven for thousands of refugees, left homeless as time-storms rage across the universe - and back and forth through history. Jungle, Icerunner and Backlash are back, but at the same time, so are Cage and his cronies. The Endless are free, time shards are making a maze of the station, and the Predacon Cage rules all that he surveys with an iron fist.
  
  
• (CA7.2) War and Peace... - Cyan, Jungle and Icerunner's little team of rebels, apparently tolerated for the moment by Cage's Predacons, regroups some more, and starts getting video-orb messages from Ashen, who is a much older version of Pyre. Taking Ashen's word that it is important, they help the Carcanens fend off an attack from their rivals, the Carbations. Towards the end of an arduous fight, Backlash dies in a spectacular explosion, which opens a time shard. Cyan recognizes the Predacons visible through the shard as Unicron's Mercs, a highly skilled team that included her parents and some other acquainences, but broke up before she was brought online. Again with Ashen's guidance, she and Jungle go through the time shard to try and recruit the team to their cause. It is to be a tough sell.
  
  
• (CA7.3) Descent Into Darkness... - Cage's third-in-command, Tiron has decided to mutiny against him. Tiron was formerly the most loyal of all of Cage’s charges. That change in attitude may be because of Cage's dangerous new recklessness (verging on insanity) or maybe just because he is bitter that Demonica is Cage’s new favorite. In any case, Tiron meets with Icerunner and her band in a plot to overthrow Cage. In a nutshell, the plan involves someone going outside the station in order to get access to a specific port, which will allow internal security to be disabled. This will make the engineering section vulnerable for capture. It seems, however, that the engineering section is inhabited by the mysterious ‘Dark Space’. This could be the source of Cage's insanity or something else entirely, but he has been seen to visit that section of the station.
