    Everything has changed…   Arbitrate Tour Grand Finale!!! Arbitrate: It’s one year later. And everything has changed.  Remember The Second Chance Institute (SCI). Earth’s benevolent non-profit by day, Thera’s totalitarian regime by night. They’ve stepped up their game on Earth and on Thera–infiltrating political parties, preying on the downtrodden, and planning offensive maneuvers. And they’re handing out more “second chances” than […]
