Summary
Time travel becomes scientifically achievable following the discovery of tachyons, enabling movement between the Cretaceous period of the Mesozoic era and the contemporary world. With this breakthrough, humanity establishes a functioning colony in Earth’s distant past, overseen by the Space‑Time Administration Bureau. Its elite enforcement unit, the Time G‑Men Koseidon Squad, operates the Bureau’s colossal temporal vessel, the Koseidon, and is tasked with safeguarding travellers venturing into the fourth dimension.
In 2001, Japan experiences a series of catastrophic phenomena involving sudden waves of extreme heat and intense cold. Investigation reveals that the origin of these anomalies lies not in the present day but in the Cretaceous period. The Koseidon is dispatched to address the crisis, leading the squad to encounter Princess Altasiya, an extraterrestrial fugitive, and her robotic aide, Big Rajii.
The disturbances are traced to the Godmess, an alien species pursuing Altasiya and seeking to claim Earth as a new target for conquest. Their campaign extends into the prehistoric past, where they telepathically control ferocious dinosaurs to advance their invasion. The Koseidon Squad becomes the primary defence against this threat, striving to protect both the present and the ancient world from the Godmess incursion.
