Before Earth's sun went nova, a seedship was sent to a distant planet in the galaxy: Terra 9. Millennia later, a highly advanced technological society has evolved on Terra 9, embarking on humanity's ultimate quest of transcending time and space... To bring about humanity's salvation, ace engineer and astrophysicist Daren Van Dorn built the Timeship Infinity, with the purpose of preventing Earth's Armageddon ten thousand years ago - even if it means violating the space-time continuum and Terra 9's laws. Having evolved from a science project into a vessel of mass-destruction, Infinity leaves an annihilated armada of starships in her wake. As a last resort Terra 9 sends the Stealth Ship Nightwing, to stop Infinity from making the time leap through Sagittarius A-star. But it's already too late. Bound on his dark mission of preventing Earth's Armageddon, there is no turning back anymore for Van Dorn; his fate being inextricably linked with that of the Nightwing's crew - and the head-on clash between two timelines. PS: In view that in primordial times, humanity actually emerged from the sea - before humanity became a land dwelling species - the creation of man and woman is not so much an act of God, but rather an act of nature - to ensure human procreation and the survival of the human species. In other words, until humanity evolves into a new species, we simply have to make the best of the gender roles that nature has imposed on us: ) So apart from our sexual organs - and our gender peculiarities - we are basically the same - in mind, spirit and soul. So all in all, this whole gender thing is actually a bit of a Cosmic Joke - in the sense: 'All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players.': )
