Something strange is going on at this corporation - the organization's network extends much further than it should. Secret encrypted pathways connect to drives that shouldn't exist, to systems that defy location, and even to entire alternate Internets filled with news, information, and conversations that reference historical and cultural events that never happened.
The off-hours network manager, a glorified button pusher by his own admission, has nothing to do all night except browse the Internet. His own curiosity and desire to help lead him through a slow process of discovery; not only do these other networks and Internets really exist, they're being used by real people… living and breathing people in desperate need of help. It seems that something is happening on a grand scale out there - something horrible- and a great many scattered individuals have been left to face it alone…
…until now. Can one timid and tucked-away off-hours network manager even manage a sliver of aid against the coming darkness? Or will his efforts to help these lonely guardians only bring him the same doom?
