You open your phone to see this message flashing at you.

Hello. You don’t need to know who I am, but you need to know who you are.

The message disappears, replaced by a video of a white room. In the middle of the room is a man strapped in a chair, wires connecting to his body from a machine behind him. People in white lab coats run around the room. Suddenly there is a bright light and the man disappears. The wires hang limp where his body was.

There are people out there that can manipulate time. They are called the Travelers. You may have heard of these people before. Don’t listen to what the media tells you. Cornerstone-- the company labeling Travelers as terrorists-- they are lying. Travelers are saving the world, not killing it.

The screen changes again, this time to a tall building. Above the front doors are the words “Cornerstone Inc.”

They travel in time to stop Cornerstone agents from taking over the world. The very fact that Cornerstone even exists is proof of their evil intentions. Cornerstone has worked it’s way to the top by traveling back in time and destroying the most precious moments of time. They have taken things that would’ve been great for humanity and twisted them to their own wants for the future.

The video shows snippets of disasters. Hitler’s rising, Abraham Lincoln’s death, the secession of the South, the Apollo Challenger explosion, Rosa Parks’ arrest, etc.

Did you ever wonder why John Wilkes Booth's body was never found? Or maybe why there was so much speculation about Hitler’s death? Because they were both Travelers, they were used by Cornerstone to create their own future.

Cornerstone is always watching. And that is why I don’t have much time left.

The screen goes black.

We are watching. Always.

The screen flickers violently for a few seconds.

That was them. They are coming. I only have a few minutes left. So why should you believe me? I’m just some random person who hacked your phone.

Usually this isn’t how we recruit, but something has happened. Something bad. We don’t know what caused it, but time is slowly crumbling. Pieces of time are drifting together, smashing and creating one huge mess within time itself! We’ve been able to contain it for now, but soon this virus, or whatever it is, will destroy the timeline as we know it. Nothing will be left. So why should you believe me?

You should believe me because you are a Traveler. We have been watching you for a while now. And so has Cornerstone. At least we’ve gotten to you before they have. In a few minutes their soldiers will show up. DO NOT let them catch you. They will KILL YOU. Or worse.

RUN OR DIE.

Be at these coordinates in two hours. Trust no one.

A series of numbers flashed across the screen. You barely have enough time to memorize them before your phone goes black. It’s dead.
