Memories of strangers and brothers: Act 1:
Statues on Status: Tommy, Tubbo and Ranboo, three students at a boarding school go on a school trip to a museum where Tommy remembers some long forgotten memories, deep down.
The Archivist: Following the trip Tommy buries himself in researching the Antarctic Empire. He convinces Tubbo and Ranboo to come to the library with him at night where they find a strange history book with a spiral on the cover. Before they can read the AE section however they get confronted by a strange man who tries to take the book from them. In the scuffle the book gets dropped and all four of them get engulfed by a white light.
Strange awakenings: following the events in the library Tommy wakes in in an unfamiliar fancy room. A maid comes in with breakfast for him and he asks where he is. The maid ignores his inquisition and tells him he is to have a meeting with foreign officers along with his father and brothers. Tommy is confused as he has no family, but the maid leaves before he can enquire further.
A Visage from the Other-side: Tubbo also wakes up in an unfamiliar environment however his room is far less lavish. In his room there is a man working at a desk who Tubbo recognises to be the future emperor Schlatt. Startled yet trying to remain calm Tubbo asks what he is doing in his room to which Schlatt says they have a dinner to attend. At the dinner they discuss the plans to overthrow King Philza. Tubbo meets Schlatt’s right hand Quackity and he tells Tubbo how they have an inside man working at the castle.
The Family Jewels: act one ends with Tommy meeting the rest of the royal family in the main hall to which he realises he has travelled back in time. The royals treat Tommy like a little brother which shocks him at first but he eventually gets used to it. Tommy also meets the leader of the royal guard, Dream, who’s name he recognises but can’t quite remember why. The family then go for a meeting with some foreign ambassadors to discuss the growing tensions in the nation which makes Tommy very nervous, knowing what’s to come.
