Story

---

The story begins with an alien ambassador arriving to finalize Earth's admission into the Symbiotry of Peaceful Beings. However, when Agent 5 is on duty a temporal rip is detected, and Earth's history is changed. The result of the new timestream is that humanity is passed over for admission into the alien organization. As it turns out, Elliot Sinclair, the inventor of the original Pegasus device, has sent three Prototypes (robots) named Ares, Mercury, and Poseidon, back in time to alter history. He fears that the aliens want to conquer Earth. Agent 5 manages to restore the timeline and stops Sinclair from assassinating the Symbiotry delegate.
