Just a quick note to head off any confusion: yes, the number in the title is wrong, 337333 is the correct one. I pmed the mods about it so hopefully they can fix it.

@The Cheshire Cat - Isn't it enough to know I ruined a pony making a gift for you?
12 second horror stories - a writing experiment.

EDIT: Or not, I was confused.
I'm only ladylike when compared to my sister.
A long arc with an appropriately long title!
MARVEL at the world of tomorrow through the eyes of yesterday!
JOIN the elite ranks of the universe's greatest adventureres, the Tomorrownauts!
GASP at the horror of their arch-nemesis, the vile Baron Doomsday!
LEAVE GOOD FEEDBACK when you finish running it so I can fix any mistakes I made!
All this, AND MORE, await you in:

So, some notes about this arc:
-It is LONG, and it's challenging. The maps are all very large, some have multiple paths, and some of them use objective chaining in such a way as to force you to backtrack. There are also some AVs and Extreme bosses towards the end of the arc, so you may wish to turn your settings to minimum or run it with a good soloer/team. *Edit* that said, I was able to run it solo on my blaster with default settings (+0,+0,No boss,No AV), not dying and not having to buy any inspirations (And I don't have any fancy IO sets or anything), so it's quite doable solo with "Less than ideal" soloers if you turn your difficulty down.
-It's VERY text heavy, but not in the way you might think. Well, it's pretty text heavy in the obvious way too, but the point I was trying to make is there's a LOT of hidden detail in this arc - optional objectives, unlisted objectives, I also used text fields that are normally more or less ignored (Or at least left pretty sparse). None of the "Missable" stuff is really required to understand the storyline, but there's a lot of extra detail in there for people with the time and inclination to go looking for it.
-Mechanically this is by far my most complex arc. I used almost EVERYTHING in this one - so be prepared to see some stuff happen you might not be used to.
Anyway, that's about all for now. If you like the arc, leave a post in this thread to let me know what you thought! Or, if you didn't like it, let me know what you think I should fix!
*Oh, PS: Don't run it on a Kheldian. Just... trust me on this one.
