Jonathan subsequently encountered [[Alek]], who was leading many people through cracks in realities, in towards the [[Inner Shield]] and [[The First World]]. A number of volunteers stayed with Jonathan, although each eventually fell victim to the many dangers affecting the universe due to the [[Dimensional Fracture Bomb]]. The last remaining volunteer, [[Beth Daschel]], eventually fell victim to a [[Dream Stealer]], which then inhabited her body and mind.
Jonathan's primary role as a desolate guardian on the edge of the [[Outer Shield]] was to manually trigger a large machine, comprising a [[Portal Hub Facilityhub facility]] and a massive particle accelerator. This machine takes a 24 hour period to charge, and when triggered releases a large interdimensional pulse, capable of strengthening the [[Outer Shield]] and the walls of his reality slightly as well as banishing the dark entities of [[The Black]].
Jonathan has since been evacuated to the base of [[The Council]] on a [[Farming World]], his role taken over by a large volunteer reinforcement force.
