	The story starts in the year 2005 in a New Mexico research facility where Trace and colleague [[Doctor Hammond\|Hammond]] are working on an undisclosed experiment. A problem with the experiment seemingly causes a huge explosion, severely injuring Trace and rendering him unconscious. This is the last memory of Earth that Trace recalls before waking up in an alien world. Unbeknownst to Trace, he has ~~been mysteriously~~ transported to an egg-shaped device called a [[Rebirth Chamber]] ~~through~~ the intervention of sentient, towering machines ~~called~~ [[Rusalki]]. Strangely, his body is seemingly intact and uninjured. Upon awakening, Trace is implored telepathically by a female voice, who later introduces herself as the ~~Rusalka~~ [[Elsenova]], to retrieve a gun called the [[Axiom Disruptor]] in the adjacent room. She also warns Trace to stay away from an ominous being called Athetos for the moment. In actuality, the Rusalki have cloned a much younger, kinder version of Athetos in hopes that this younger version could eventually locate and kill Athetos. Trace is the identity of this clone. The lab explosion never actually happened to this clone of Trace; the events of the explosion are merely a memory inherited from the memories of Athetos, the original Trace, although the cloned Trace is not aware of this.

	As the game progresses, Trace is informed by Elsenova that he has ended up on an alien world called [[Sudra]], and that a [[Pathogen\|plague]] created by [[Athetos]] has wiped out or mutated most of the Sudrans on the planet. Trace is then told that defeating Athetos is the key to finding his way back to Earth, but he is first urged to locate and activate the Power Filter and the Remote Drones in order to repair the bodies of Elsenova and her fellow Rusalki [[Veruska]] and [[Ophelia]]. Throughout his explorations of Sudra, Trace encounters and kills several cybernetic monstrosities called [[Variant\|Variants]], which he later discovers are mutated clones of Athetos, and by extension, himself.

	When Trace is again rendered unconscious, some of his imprinted memories begin to come back. He was a theoretical physicist who, working with Dr. Hammond, re-invented physics. However, his revolutionary theories were regarded by his peers as pseudoscience and earned him the nickname "Athetos." Trace was then blacklisted by the scientific community. Nonetheless, he continued striving to validate his work.		When Trace is again rendered unconscious, some of his imprinted memories begin to come back.

Nonetheless, he continued striving to validate his work.

	Once he wakes up, Trace is able to continue his adventure. Eventually, Trace finds Athetos in a life support vat located in the atmosphere above Sudra, along with the [[Breach Attractor]], which is preventing Elsenova from approaching the atmosphere without killing her. During the ensuing battle, Trace momentarily disrupts ~~the~~ [[Breach]] Attractor, allowing Elsenova to rise to the upper atmosphere and destroy it entirely. After doing so, the Rusalki are once again free to move about above the planet, and Elsenova chooses to kill Athetos with a laser beam despite Trace's pleas not to do so. Afterward, Elsenova renders Trace unconscious and seemingly sends him back to Earth, during the aftermath of the lab explosion, unharmed and in perfect condition.

	However, scenes during the credits show Trace lying unconscious on top of what appears to be the body of a Rusalka, suggesting that Elsenova had not actually sent Trace back to Earth. This seems to imply that, unbeknownst to Trace, Elsenova had the Rusalka Veruska create an algorithm for a dream of Earth, where Trace wakes up without injury and in perfect condition. Believing that he has returned to Earth, Trace devotes his time trying to learn more about Sudra, in hopes that he may find a way to return to it someday. Then one day, an unannounced guest arrives at Trace's lab, revealed to be Athetos, who shoots Trace with a gun, but not before telling him, "There's no use running from your own self. Time to wake up, Trace."
