Children of the Chronotron

In a distant future, the last of an immortal civilization faces extinction as the artificial sky they created begins to turn lethal. Their world, once shielded by a self‑sustaining radioactive envelope, is now being destroyed by the very radiation that kept them alive for millennia. Desperate, the survivors devise the Chronotron—a device that can plant a cause at the very beginning of an effect, essentially sending a single emissary back through time. Their hope rests on this lone traveler finding something that can rewrite the past.

The emissary arrives in 1952, materializing above the Atlantic while massive strato‑cruisers slice through low clouds. He quickly learns that his mission hinges on locating the enigmatic “children of the Chronotron,” a phrase that may refer to a hidden technology or a specific lineage hidden among ordinary people. As he navigates a world still wrapped in post‑war optimism, every clue could mean the difference between his race’s survival and total annihilation. Listeners will be drawn into his tense search, the clash of ancient urgency with mid‑century Earth.
