in a world where transport through walls is possible. the viriato resistance, also known as the rebellion army, are the good guys. they are a small band that somehow manages to work together to resist the terraneos soldiers and to free their world. the resistance group is young and inexperienced but wise in a streetwise fashion. the interaction among the resistors is often acrimonious and it is a challenge for them to behave. the high noor brainwashes the people get captured and turns them into the mindless terraneos soldiers. the viriato's goal is to destroy the high noor, to de-hypnotize the terraneos soldiers to clean the environment that was devastated by nuclear war. their hide out gets discovered and they must act. they transport into the nuclear waste zone to escape as they must do almost on a monthly cycle. it is a cat and mouse game between them and theterraneos soldiers. one of the viriato team members is a spy. he is virtually a walking bomb. he is a captive of the high noor and does as he is told in order to survive. the team is sent to the sandstone valley that is a refugee camp and also a trap that has been set by the high noor they are captured and are taken to the high noor. the high noor is destroyed by the one serving as the spy. the world becomes a mix of the spirit world, the noor, and the real world. the world gets a chance to start over but beware, the high noor now survives in the spirit world. care must still be taken and cooperation of the two worlds is key.
