In Russia in the mid-1990s, scientists opened a commercial teleportation route to a newly accessible reality and an agency began offering excursion packages immediately. Then the creatures inhabiting the lower reaches of virtual reality responded, and aggressive groups among them captured the teleportation infrastructure. The invaders are now preparing to cross into the original reality. The specialist profession created to stop this is called Liquidator. Their assignment: locate and destroy the fuel depots the aggressors use before the crossing becomes a conquest. President Eltsin explains the situation in a televised address.
