Better Times - Facet III

Spavin Lawson kept his promise to the united human population of 32nd Century Texas City.  He and his wife, Clarissa, had gathered the brightest minds they could find and put together the Technology Development Plan.  The Plan was a template to build a civilization based upon ecologically sound principles.  Unfortunately, the completion of The Plan required a population density that did not exist in the 32nd Century.  Cataclysmic events a millennium earlier had reduced humans to uncivilized tribes totaling fewer than ten thousand people in what was once North America. Unknown to the citizens of the new city, long lost humans who were struggling to survive on Mars and Luna also assisted in the development of The Plan.  A secret node on the Technology Development Plan was dedicated to the eventual reunification of all Humankind. 
Spavin could not entrust the future of his progeny and the human race to chance.  He knew that the two-hundred year plan would need a boost at the critical point of Reunification.  With his family and Shadow Warrior Nevlyn Bydman, he used his time dilator so he could guide the completion of The Plan and ensure Humankind would find better times.
