The story

Eons ago, a great weapon was constructed, which could end the human race as we know it. This weapon was eventually dismantled, and pieces distributed through multiple time zones of Earth's history. Alas, a document containing the location of these pieces has gone missing, and the player must hunt the criminal Nostradamus through time to save the human race.
