However, instead of telling the truth about them being from another universe, the Facility lies to them and tells them they're tulpas based on fictional characters and that their entire lives are a lie. The Facility intends to imprison them for the rest of their lives.
The Facility also monitors the slumber of several ancient elder gods, the Old Ones, who must be pacified by a yearly sacrifice of several teenagers. After the teens are tricked into a trip to a cabin in the woods, and some of the Facility's collected monsters are released to kill them, the Legionnaires must escape the Facility, find the MacGuffin they're looking for, and fight to save the teens and their world from the Facility and the Old Ones.

The Legionnaires must survive these scenarios and long enough to reach "backstage" a place where they can potentially escape the oversight of the world's overlords or cut deals with them to get greater freedom of movement.

A strange storm in the atmosphere of the planet causes them to crash - several months in the past. The two realize they entered a stable time loop and were actually responding to their own distress call. Now several months in the past, the two of them have to survive in the hostile wilderness long enough to reach the present, to get help from the search party they know will be dispatched once they're late in coming back from the mission.
