THRILL RATING
Indigo Prime
When your reality is under threat, if no one else can help, and if you can find them ... maybe you can hire The A-Team Indigo Prime. This organization crosses over with Tyranny Rex and, in the early days, usually focussed on pairs of operatives on shorter missions. Killing Time is the out and out classic after which Smith shelved the project for seventeen years before stealth-surfacing it again during Dead Eyes.
