He then tried to convince his boss, Joseph Gruen, to send the Captain into Dite to stop the Wanderers. He then put a photograph of the Captain inside the casket, as well as a tracer to recover them.

He then told the Captain (who was comatose) to 'forgive ' for what he's about to do to them. Days later, after the MSF survivors assessed the situation with the United Nations, he personally arrived to find the Captain in a casket. True to his predictions, a wormhole did in fact emerge shortly after the Ground Zeroes Incident. During his time as chief researcher, he also included voice recordings on Virgil AT-9, the AI that was assigned to the Charon Corps, anticipating that he'll ultimately die before he could fulfill his promise in getting them back, also realizing that the Lord of Dust needed to be stopped. He also predicted that the next wormhole to emerge was during a battle between MSF and XOF. Afterwards, fully intending to fulfill his end of the bargain for the other castaways, he ultimately became one of the chief researchers at Wardenclyffe Section, being responsible for various breakthroughs in wormhole technology. He ultimately was successful in getting back to his world, but he met an unexpected setback: Instead of arriving back at his time, he ended up sent to Philadelphia in 1943 above the USS Eldridge. He ultimately was rescued by the Captain, and later joined forces with him as well as the former XOF member Reeve, the nurse Miranda, the cop Nicholas, and the Charon Corps survivor Dan in an attempt to get them all back to their world. Miranda, suspecting it was another survivor, went off to find the source of the transmission, and ultimately found him.

At some point afterward, he somehow managed to find equipment and dispatch a distress signal, though he didn't say anything. In 1980, he was caught in a wormhole and sent to Dite.
