11. Amara Vatrican

Series Three: Find Yourself
Prologo
While the Swans fall short against Starblaydia in the World Cup Ro16, team captain Bianca Fiore, recently returned from a two year period of isolation in a different reality, is optimistic of her - and the team's - future chances. She is almost immediately dropped from the team by Qusmi manager Tlanx-Nulzk Hal.
Piano
A fringe far-right fundamentalist party, Piano di Dios, and its leader Evangelista Rizzuto are worried about their position heading into the next election. They discover that the governing party has a plan to create an inter-dimensional transportation device to bring Savigliane back to their original reality (where Bianca recently emerged from), which they firmly oppose based on religious reasons. Recognizing that he lacks the popularity necessary to win in a critical election, Rizzuto looks for outside candidates to lead the party.
Rizzuto
Rizzuto is connected with Bianca Fiore. Fiore initially distrusts the right-wing politician, but her mistreatment in the original reality leads her to agree that the Interdimensional Travel Task Force must be stopped at all costs. She reluctantly agrees to join the new party.
Granaio
Adrian Toscani, star Savigliano midfielder, Bianca's former teammate on the national team, visits his hometown - located in the political base of Piano di Dios - and sees many of his friends radicalized by Rizzuto's party. When Bianca reaches out, he chastises her for abandoning her teammates to run for office and cuts her off.
Ufficio
Desperate for solutions, Adrian turns to Tlanx-Nulzk Hal, asking them to bring Bianca back as a player or an assistant coach. Tlanx recognizes why Adrian is asking, and refuses to compromise the team to indulge Bianca.
Dibattito
Piano di Dios are surging in the polls prior to the first debate, but Bianca is worried the early success has put a target on her back. Evangelista Rizzuto does his best to comfort her.
Incontro
Desperate to stop the wave of hysteria spreading across the nation after Bianca reveals the truth behind the Interdimensional Travel Task Force, the government seeks an audience with her former teammates to see what kind of person they're dealing with.
Pettegolo
The decision of certain players to speak up against Bianca Fiore - and Tlanx-Nulzk Hal's involvement of the government - tests the Swans' chemistry. Feeling betrayed, Fiore turns to Evangelista Rizzuto for solace.
Secondo
Everything's on the line as the Swans host Valladares, but Adrian can't get Bianca out of his head. The left-wing Alliance des Sociaux-Democratés, under Caccini's shadow for the past four years of government, sense an opportunity.
Destino
In the wake of the Portal revelations, Violette Bartois - and an old friend - come up with an offer that the old Bianca Fiore would be unable to refuse. But the Piano di Dios party leader might be more than what she expected...
Ministro
An election takes place. The Swans struggle with the consequences.
Series Four: Escape
1. pregavo per momenti come questo
Bianca Fiore's newly-minted coalition government - bringing together far-right Piano, communist Fronte!, and center-right Ligue-Est - is showing serious signs of collapse.
2. se pensate di aver finito, tornate all'inizio
Thea Squarciafichi and Adrian Toscani hit the road to convince an enigmatic construction magnate to invest in Interdimensional Portal technology.
3. tout le monde veut lui couper les jambes
Joël Bonmaison agrees to invest in the Portal. With no good options left, Bianca Fiore overrides her party to call for an election.
4. ci sarebbero stati palazzi
Thea and Adrian ruminate about the upcoming election. The Portal construction hits a snag as Bonmaison demands immediate results that the cautious Lorenzo de Rossi is unwilling to provide.
5. da un amico
Thea and Adrian run into newly-elected PM...Bianca Fiore, who promises not to interfere with Joël Bonmaison's portal project. Lorenzo de Rossi learns who is on his side, and who is not.
6. j'ai pris mon temps, mais je vis vite
One of Joël Bonmaison's scientists figures out a Plan B. Evangelista Rizzuto realizes he's made a mistake.
7. vedo la nascita e la morte dell'universo nuotare nei tuoi occhi
endings.
