==Plot==
Wes and Jenna arrive in 4012, on a space station orbiting New Earth. The Old Earth's resources have run out, so everyone moved out. New Earth was founded but the resources there have now also been depleted. New Earth is now being used as a prison.
Wes and Jenna are captured by guards working for Warden Russell Van Kurt. Kurt gives them a mission to rescue the President's daughter Clarissa Uppey who was sent into the prison by Jack Ripley. Wes refuses but Kurt tells him that they are going to be sent to New Earth Prison and they will help them escape once they find Uppey.
Wes and Jenna are transported to New Earth prison which they discover is empty. Kurt explains that although the prison exists in 4012, the prisoners are in the year transported to 1,000,000,000, where the solar system is abandoned and there is no way for the prisoners to escape, however other than security robots to prevent prisoners, going through the portal (exiting the prison itself is okay because there is nowhere for them to go to in the New Earth desert)
Arriving in 1,000,000,000, Wes and Jenna realize the sun is about to destroy New Earth. Wes tries to call his time machine but Kurt has it in a time field to prevent it. Wes and Jenna locate Uppey who has been in the prison for a year.
The prisoners capture them and try to force Wes to fight an Arian called the Brute but Wes, hides behind Jenna, and convinces the prisoner he is just her sidekick, prompting them to send Jenna into the room. Jenna manages to defeat the Brute.
The prisoners all attacks Jenna and Wes but they escape with Uppey. They reach the portal but it will not let them through. Kurt (who merely took over from the guy who created the portal) realizes the portal is a one way trip.
As the prisoners corner Wes, Jenna and Uppey, Kurt deactivates the time field, allowing Wes to call the time machine and escape in it with Jenna and Uppey, before the sun destroys New Earth in 1,000,000,000. Calzen says is Jenna's descendant.
Uppey is taken back to 4012, while Wes and Jenna on their next adventure.
