## Synopsis

### Welcome to Nowhere !

The characters go to a white light, and feel somewhat sick. They fall to the floors.

They hear a russian sounding man saying « It worked ! Of course it worked. I’m a genius ». They appear to be in a lab, with a lot of sci fi stuff. The man seems destiguished, grey hair, looks quite happy. He complains about only having found 4 people, but accepts it as is is probably the Universe’s will.

Among the characters on the floor, there is

* Thayne Dedrich, a rather big elf
* Charles Hondo, the cow boy looking guy, with a texas ranger hat and a rope.
* Issac Wexler , the sci fi guy, with a laser pistol, and a black leather jacket, with stripes that write « W » when the jacket is closed
* Kirin , the super hero lady, with a mask and spandex. She has perfect make up, and crazy blonde hair (80’s style)

The russian man advices them not to get up, Issac, Hondo & Thayne do not listen and try to stand up. They fall back to the floor.

The russian man introduces himself as Copernicus Stratt. Issac asks if they are not dead, Copernicus says they are not. He says they are in « Café Nowhere ». He explains there were pulled out of their universe at the moment of their death. He says he needs help, his machine grabs people when they are at their weakest point in their lifetime, and pulled them here. They go grab some dinner. They are lead to a place that looks like a coffee place. Out the windows, they can only see white.

A woman comes in from behind the counter, get a hot chocolate with lots of whiped cream for Kirin. Hondo is weirded out (he never saw a place like this before) and don’t want anything. Thayne wants something strong, Issac wants the same thing Thayne wants.

Copernicus comes back and state she never met the waitress before. Apparently it’s due to their arrival. He states the woman (named Angie) isn’t real, although everyone around the table is. He says when he arrived there was nothing but the café, but with time, other things started to appear. He even saw pictures of his friends from his home. He theorises that the café wants him to be confortable, and that the crew might already have rooms. Copernicus explains he believes in the existence of a multiverse, and that everyone around this table comes from a different place. Hondo is confused, and shoot the espresso machine (it made sound, it scared him). Issac asks him to be careful, and asks him to be cautious as he doesn’t want to die again (although Thayne would like to do the test).

### Charles Hondo

Hondo remembers his past. He has spend a lot of time trying to find the man who kidnaped his sister, Jessica Hondo. He’s from the Wild West with magic and steampunk. Apparently a voodoo man named Ko-Achter took her.

Hondo found his compound, a plantation now into a swamp. He killed a bunch of his men, but then he finds him inside. However, he is holding his sister. He wouldn’t be able to hit him without hiting his sister. Ko-Achter sends his sister to fight him. She’s in a sort of trance, covered with woodoo marks, and walks to her brother with a dagger and a gun, trying to hit him.

Hondo tries to go for the voodoo man, as he is moving invisible around the room, thinking if he’s gone, the spell controling his sister would leave too. Jessica shoots her brother who is now quite wounded. He tries to go to his sister and grapple her. Although she manages to fight her off, probably because of Ko-Achter magic. Hondo thought he saw her becoming more lucid, but she stabs him. Hondo dies, saying « Jessica » with his last breath.

### Copernicus's mistake

Copernicus explains he was part of a team experimenting on the multi verse, an experiment went wrong. He woke up here. He thinks he broke something : he thinks he might have weaken the barriers between worlds. He says he might be able to bring them all back home, if they help him fix his mistake.

They all get their drink. Hondo apologises to Angie, and asks for a whisky. She accepts the apology. Hondo keeps trying to make friends: after Thayne introduces himself, Hondo asks him what he is. Thayne says he’s an elf, also he’s from the future of his world. Hondo and Issac introduce themselves. Issac goes wandering around, as Kirin comes and introduces herself as well.

### Issac Wexler

Issac wakes up in his ship (in the kitchen, with his sister’s jacket draped over him), as he hears alarms indicating the ship is under attack. He takes the jacket, and as he goes to the cockpit, everything shakes as they are hit.

 Sarah Wrexler , Issac’s sister is in the pilot seat. However, she seems hurt and is inconscious. There are lots of bloods in the cockpit. Issac grabs first aid stuff to help her, however she is seriously wounded.

Talmidge, the AI, is trying to manoeuvre. Issac wants them to get out of there, however they need a couple more minutes to refuel. Issac wants to start planning the jump, however Talmidge stresses they do not have five minutes. Issac wants to connect Talmidge to the ship instead of his physical body so he can pilot the ship better, as well as monitor other important pilot things.

He does his farewell to his sister as he decides what to do. Issac goes to an escape pods so he can gets the ennemies to shoot at something else while the ship gets ready to jump. Issac asks Talmidge to take Sarah to his dad’s planet, so they can fulfill their last wish. Issac says it is now his as well. Issac sees the ship jumps as the pod explodes.
