Exposed is quickly beginning to unravel the ties-that-bind Jackson Stafford's story together. Brent has revealed his true nature and his mission. The Defector has the director of the FBI in his corner intervening for a notorious assassin. Don and Nancy, NSA professionals locked in the final throws of uncovering the greatest of all truths about Jackson Stafford, stand stunned by the facts. As the story continues to peel away the layers covering the inner truth, be prepared for an unexpected conclusion.

Prepare for the "butterfly effect" that will push things over the edge. Exposed is pushing the agenda of the Pandora Project to the limit, but not without the all-seeing eye of the NSA. Don and Nancy have begun the final dissection of the last folder given to them by the Defector. The two NSA investigators are reviewing the steps for either pursuing a Congressional Oversight committee review of the case or proceeding to push for charges for those guilty of crimes against humanity.

In New Jersey, FBI agent Gustavo Rodriguez will be turned over to Senator Bailey's representative and driven back to Langley to meet with the NSA. Jackson Stafford is being held as a prisoner by a rural Indiana town police department, but the state Attorney General is about to be called by the "Watchers" to get him removed by special forces before things get out of hand.

Meanwhile, in the mystical world of La Tulipan and the adventurers, their realization that they may not get back is beginning to sink in. Their fight to understand the Entity will come crystal clean once they come face-to-face with it in the Temple within the mainframe. Someone has intervened on Jackson Stafford's part to have him released from the police station where he's been sedated with Thorazine. Harry, being held at the FBI branch in Trenton, NJ, has Senator Brooks looking out for him. And Gustavo will be released by a director order from Director Drummond from the FBI central office.

All of the characters will, in time, converge and be in the center of all the action. Claude, the currier, is being shown how to escape the Pandora Project, but if caught, he will be shot. Dr. Brody is returning to the apartment with the note intended for Dr. Jennings. Brent, the hired-gun from London, will be taken by the Beasts of the dismemberment department deep within the Sister Location. Senator Bailey's assistant is in the cross hairs of a shooter, but doesn't know it, as he reveals the secrets of the magnitude and intent of the Pandora Proect. The avengers are walking into the Temple of the Entity. They will encounter a creature beyond their expectation.
