Encore

About Encore:
Fedorov misses his Tuesday Discord call with Karpov when he receives an alarming warning from Director Kamenski and must leave his hotel in Moscow to seek refuge in a safe house. Yet Karpov, fearing the worst, hitches a ride to Moscow on a cargo plane to look for his friend. The news Kamenski brings is disturbing, but a plan is hatched to try and prevent the arrival of the Skeletal "Ice Men" that were first discovered in Antarctica. Now Fedorov and Karpov accept a new mission that will take them to familiar far flung places on the earth to lay an ambush for the Skeletals. Can they save the distant future of the Meridian they fought so hard to preserve? Can they help prevent the Grand Finality with the coming of the Murder Hornets? Fedorov also learns a change has altered the outcome of the war in 2025-26 and Kirov sorties to investigate and set things right. Later, a chance encounter at Ilanskiy reveals that another Ivan Volkov has appeared on the scene, and he brings a new challenge to Karpov, in more than one way. The mighty Kirov sorties again to settle affairs with Volkov one last time.
