The capsule was discovered during a demolition project. David, the demolition supervisor, felt a wave of confusion wash over him as he examined the contents: a single, black glove and a newspaper clipping detailing a decades-old unsolved disappearance. His hands started to sweat. He had no memory of any of this.

He ordered his crew to halt work. He started to examine the area. He needed to know what he was dealing with. He looked for any clues. He made sure everyone was watching, that no one was doing something behind his back.

He read the newspaper clipping again and again. Every word. Every detail. He had a responsibility to know. He started making phone calls.
