made in the chaotic world. When Sam finally meets Verve, he learns that both of them are alternating between worlds, but that Verve originated in the chaotic one. Verve claims the two divergent worlds were created when his brother died in a government-arranged plane crash one day and was alive the next. Verve has used his motivational speaking to travel and learn secrets which he then uses to commit terrorist acts as vengeance in the other world. Hoping Sam will be his ally, Verve arranges for them to meet in the chaotic world. Sam meets with the military and takes a tracer with him to the meeting.
