PROPHET RETURNS

Twenty years have passed since New York City was saved from the hostile alien race known as the Ceph. With the alien infestation under control, the chaos seemed all but over. The Crynet Enforcement and Local Logistics organization, or CELL, utilized the Ceph’s technology and promised free and unlimited energy to the world. All that goodwill vanished as CELL took advantage of their technological and political might to strong-arm society. A resistance has begun to fight against CELL, but their forces are simply not strong enough. The resistance hopes to turn the tide by freeing the one man who can stop CELL: Prophet.
