"The best-laid plans of mice and men often go awry" - that's how Roberts Burns said. And Will and his team are no exception: D'Angelo was not so stupid, and was able to track them down, after which he sent a special forces detachment of the CIA after them, however, his plans go awry. Soon, Will Volkov and Matthew Erelith, who found themselves on Terra during the testing and calibration of a new portal device on Terra, will discover a different truth and a completely different side of political games. In the meantime, I suggest we look at this from the opposite side of the barricades... (In fact, this is a complete reworking of the Winds of Change, rewriting the canon and correcting the author's mistakes.)
