The video depicts a laboratory room. The camera pans around to a set of bunsen burners that are turned on in the background before the camera pans around to focus on two people.

A man with kempt, black hair and a pencil moustache, determined to be in his early thirties, is sat on top of a counter with an unidentified woman, chatting with each other.

The man turns around to face the camera.

Dr. Jameson: Ah! Hello! I didn't see you there. (Turns to face the woman) You may go back to your work now, doctor.

Unidentified woman gets off the counter and goes off screen.

Dr. Jameson: My name is Doctor Mark Jameson and for those of you who don't know where you are, please refer to the Orientation Booklet in front of you and flip to page 12.

Jameson then pulls out a booklet from his pocket.

Dr. Jameson: If you haven't got one yet, your training officer will provide you one at the end of the video. For now, I'll give you a quick briefing on what I do here.

He gets off the counter and walks through a set of doors at the end of the room, continuing to speak as he walks.

Dr. Jameson: Here at Prometheus Labs, we pioneer technology. In fact, take my laboratory as an example. Here, we are studying the effects of time travel on the human mind and its continuous usage over time.

And what better place to do our research then none other than August 5th, 1945. Hiroshima, Imperial Japan.

Yes. That's right. I am in the past!

Dr Jameson then opens another set of doors, behind which reveals a large, circular machine.

Dr Jameson: This machine is what's keeping us here from total annihilation outside in a couple of hours. Let me tell you what it does. Its simple mechanic is to repeat the same two days over and over. Think Groundhog day if you will.

This miraculous device makes it so that whatever it is we are doing doesn't affect the outside world. For instance, if we set about killing Hitler before the Temporal Reset, it wouldn't affect the present day because it would reset back to the day before.

I can guess that some of you are asking "where do you get such immense power to make it work?"

Well there's a simple answer to that, young man. We have captured a Goddess of the Japanese Shinto religion. Amaterasu, the Goddess of the Sun. We have her trapped in the main power room, generating more power than a nuclear reactor, powering this powerful machine.

That's the general overview anyway.

Now some of you are wondering, "What happens if I'm stuck outside the Time Reset?" Well, Timmy, you know the movie Back to The Future in which Marty accidentally undid himself by meeting his mom?

It's like that… Actually, not like that but similar. You see, you won't accidentally undo yourself per se because we're in Imperial Japan for starters. There are Ways (See page twenty-two for Ways in your Orientation Booklet,) that allow us to cross dimensions. Some of them are natural, while others are man-made. Prometheus took this one step further and have made a Time Way.

Think about it this way, what if you have decided to join us but got cold feet and tried to run away? If you're in our most recent logs about who's here and who's not, your here no matter what. Time will find a way to bring you here.

If you are currently watching this video and you're not in our most recent logs, then you can't be here, no matter what. If you try to force your way here, then time is going to start forming paradoxes. Imagine Marty McFly on a universal scale. That's how bad it will be if you try to force a paradox.

But that's what Prometheus Labs is trying to fight. We're doing what no one man can do. We're fighting the very laws of time itself.

(Dr Jameson turns around to face the machine and walks around it, staring at the machine intently.)

Dr Jameson: So that pretty much concludes this Orientation for time travel in PL. Of course, if and when you do join us, my Labs could always use some new aspiring scientists for what we do here. All I got to do now before you go off on your new exciting career here is tell you a bit about our inspiration, Prometheus.

He gave mankind many gifts, according to Greek lore anyway. Science, math, writing, reading and the forbidden one, forbidden by the powers that be: fire.

(Dr Jameson looks directly at the camera and smiles, moving away from the machine in a dramatic way.)

Dr Jameson: The rules and problems with time travel are the things of the past with Prometheus Labs. Who knows, perhaps you can be the next Prometheus. To guide mankind into the future, or you know, the past.

(Dr Jameson remains staring into the camera with a smile on his face as the video fades to black. The Prometheus Symbol appears. A monotone voice reaffirms the company slogan.)

With study and intuition, the mystical becomes common with Prometheus Labs.
