   Summary

   Right as Rhys enters the Vault of the Traveler it decides to teleport, this wouldn't be a big deal if it was just teleportation. Unfortunately for Rhys, it's flung him back in time, somewhere around the start of his career at Hyperion.

   With no way back to present day, he decides to change the past and make a better future... somehow.
