name The Story so far

text As the most recent war with the Bydo reached for a conclusion, mankind seemed to have little hope of survival. Despite substantial victories against the evil biological empire, it seemed as if mankind's resources were limited, while the bydo had almost limitless, evergrowing and evermultiplying source of fresh cannon fodder. \n \
\n \
Eventually mankind set expeditions to fight the bydo at its source - the future. While the R-9 series was specifically designed to be capable of following the bydo through the dimensional pockets and time currents it utilizes, the nature of time and causality of events didn't end up being as humanity would have hoped. \n \
The twenty-sixth century was empty. It seemed as if the very time had been deserted by the bydo, making the horrid weapon seem like its own creator. \n \
\n \
It is unknown whether such time loops are a matter of causality or whether mankind's information about the nature of the weapon was correct, but the discovery ripped mankind of its last hopes of beating the bydo once and for all. \n \
\n \
Without clear direction or goals, the human war effort dwindled, became unfocused and finally settled on a last line of defense around mother earth.
