Space Time Continuum Task Force

The **Space Time Continuum Task Force** (also known as the **STCTF**, **Generation Caduceus**, or **Gen Caduceus**) is an inter-dimensional group that serves The Time Dialer by fixing corrupted moments in various timelines throughout The Multiverse. Currently, the task force is comprised entirely of human members from the US Special Recon Team. Their team directive and overall goal while working on a contract with The Time Dialer is that they must locate The World Builder who is causing corruption and decay in various events on the timeline.

## Background

It is unclear exactly when the STCTF was founded into existence. The primary conflict with this issue of dates is that the task force operates in so many different events and timelines in The Multiverse that associating it to an arbitrary time would not make sense when relativity is taken into account.

The task force was populated with its first known members following the events of Ground Zero, all of whom are members of the US Special Recon Team. The team recruited the other remaining SRT members who were not present for Ground Zero during the events of Prologue.

The current iteration of the STCTF is **Generation Caduceus** [☤], which stems from the staff of Hermes in Greek mythology.

## Missions

The STCTF has partaken in the following notable engagements:

* "Prologue", Kazakhstan July 2020: After locating the Zeus Shrine and finding the clue, the STCTF inducted the rest of the Special Recon Team members into the task force.
* "Forgotten Past", Inyoni December 2020: With clues leading to a missed Zeus Shrine on Inyoni in a different timeline, the team has a 2 hour window to find all the clues they can before the Time-Gate closes, leaving them stranded.
* "Truth Plains", Central Belgium, 1815: Intel suggests the key to The World Builder's sanctuary is located in a timeline near the end of the Napoleonic war. The team must located the key and return to the Time Gate as the timeline is muddied and soldiers from all sorts of past and future timelines emerge in this crumbling universe.
* "Carpe Noctem", Åkersvika, 2042: The team searches for the gate to The World Builder's sanctuary while being hunted by his Minutemen.

* "Cogworks", The Cogworks, Unknown Time: The Space Time Continuum Task Force take on The World Builder at his sanctuary called The Cogworks where they must complete the tasks of the Arena to defeat him.
* "Epilogue/STADIUS", Lunar Base STADIUS, Unknown Time: After defeating The World Builder at The Cogworks, the Space Time Continuum Task Force (STCTF) warped away to an ominous looking Time Gate on a lunar planet somewhere in The Multiverse. The team uncover the destroyed remnants of a lunar base belonging to a past generation of STCTF operators and kickstart the last surviving Time Gate on base to get back to their own timeline.

## Previous Generations

Only one previous generation is known to have existed preceding the current iteration called Generation Chiron. Operators in Generation Caduceus stumbled upon an old STCTF lunar base belonging to the Chiron team and were able to extract data about the unit from a centralized datacenter onto their Space Warp Suits for decryption and storage. Much of the data belonging to the team had become corrupted and was unrecoverable.
