The war with the Kree is over. With their shah dead our age old enemy retreated behind the impenetrable walls of their pocket dimension. Nevertheless this remained a perilous time and the citizens of the protectorate should have known better than to grow complacent. A cosmic anomaly causes the creation of a colossal wormhole linking the Milky Way with the isolated Thaneos Galaxy. This Einstein-Rosen bridge releases a deadly virus that after killing all sentient life in the Thaneos Galaxy had lay dormant for centuries. We soon find out, there is no cure, there is no hope, and there is no escape. Protectorate scientists are forced to break cosmic law and use forbidden technology to travel back in time. Whilst the military are eager to consider a more brutal solution. Then just when things can't get any worse... they do! This episode is not for the squeamish.
