No one survived.
They saved the world from the destruction of Hivemind, but it cost them everything.
The Dark Beyond
Stella opened up a portal to the Ethera, a special dimension where dark energy originally comes from. In this dimension, the Crown Jewel resided. In order to obtain the Crown Jewel, Director Von Galloes was prepared to sacrifice Theo. however, before he was able to do so, Nick, Thierry, Sabrina, Auri, Cosette and the rest of the crew came to the rescue. An epic battle ensued where, sad to say, most did not survive.
However, at the end of the battle, they were able to destroy the Crown Jewel so it could never fall into the wrong hands.
Dark Energy
A heavily researched, yet largely unknown energy source. The sources of dark energy, condensed dark energy (CDE), were widely regarded as the world's new energy source, being thousands times more efficient than electricity or gas. More recently, the world was saved from the devastation of the soul of CDE, the Crown Jewel located in the Ethera dimension. It was said the Crown Jewel was ten thousand times more powerful than the heart of hearts, a special type of dark energy only recently discovered.
HiveMind
After the fallout of the Ethera, wind of HiveMind's dastardly plans caught around the world, and global sanctions were placed on the multi-billion dollar corporation. HiveMind shut down, leaving little trace they ever existed.
An arrest warrant was placed for Director Von Galloes. Unfortunately, shortly after HiveMind shut down, he disappeared.
The World Now
The only known survivors of the Crown Jewel battle were Nick, Thierry, and Cosette. They struggle in a world without most of their family.
The destruction of the Crown Jewel caused all dark energy sites to freeze. They gained a rare equilibrium within them, neither growing nor shrinking. This allows researchers to go in and harvest CDE without fear of becoming mineralized. Environmentalists have also calmed down, knowing the mineralization of plant and earth matter to CDE has stopped. This does mean theres now only a finite amount if CDE in the world, it will still take thousands of years to reach a point where the world begins to run out of this energy.
Technology running on CDE is now at the forefront, with companies and research institutions creating patents and inventing like mad men. A few technologies hoping to become public in the coming weeks are CDE-powered cars, and homes using electricity generated by CDE, not coal.
Belize, Caracol Maya Ruins

Everything has returned to normal, except this site. The signal caught by the T.R.U.M.P.E.T. (Trans-Rudimentary Uptake Monolith of Permanent Erasure Tracking) is only growing. Not just growing, but converting plant matter to CDE at an alarming rate. If left unchecked, this CDE site could overtake the entire continent, and maybe even the world.
This is why it's imperative to send a team of the brightest researchers, archeologists, and people with first-hand experience with CDE to Belize, the Caracol Maya Ruins. They must solve the problem behind this site's rapid growth, and put a stop to it before it's too late.
