| Stephen, up until now an ordinary schoolboy, suddenly collapses on a London street as the mental ordeal of "breaking out" begins. The three existing Tomorrow People (John, Carol and Kenny), aware of his ordeal, manage to make contact with him and guide him through the process, but are unable to keep him from being kidnapped by Ginge and Lefty, two Cockney thugs working for the mysterious Jedikiah, who wants the Tomorrow People for their psychic powers, and who serves in turn the even more mysterious Cyclops. Jedikiah turns out to be in reality the Cyclops' shape-changing robot; the Cyclops (implied to be of the same race as Polyphemus, the Cyclops of Homer's Odyssey) turns out to be an alien traveller stranded near Earth after an accident killed his crew of telepaths, whose powers are needed to operate his ship's engines. Jedikiah is damaged and goes berserk, damaging the ship and dooming it to explode; the Tomorrow People, however, are able to jaunt the Cyclops off the ship to Earth, and contact other aliens who can provide the Cyclops with the atmosphere he needs to breathe and with transport back to his own star system. Jedikiah survives the explosion of the ship and is left drifting in space; Ginge and Lefty become the Tomorrow People's allies.

| In the twenty-sixth century non-telepath Count Rabowski's vessel, secretly located in hyperspace, recovers the drifting robotic form of Jedikiah, who proceeds to befriend the Count. Rabowski has captured a young "Time Guardian", Peter. Rabowski is able to nullify Peter's TP abilities by using "the Medusa", a predatory ambulatory plant that preys on telepathic animals on its homeworld through nullifying their psionic abilities. Peter is forced to transport Rabowski and Jedikiah back to 1973 to steal the Crown Jewels in the Tower of London, but are foiled by Stephen and Carol. Carol, however, is captured. Rabowski uses his "ability" to kill and hurt others (an ability blocked in the tomorrow people by the "Prime Barrier") to force Peter to open the time lanes. Jedikiah takes over the vessel, planning to use Peter to stop the Tomorrow People's "Great Emergence" in the twenty-first century, after which they displace homo sapiens. Peter is able steal the prison key from Jedikiah and sabotage the time key so that Jedikiah (carrying the crown jewels) is sent back to Mercury in the distant past, rather than Earth. At the last minute Rabowski makes a grab for the jewels and is transported to the surface of Mercury (and presumably his death) with Jedikiah.

| As Carol and Kenny have chosen to leave Earth to become off-planet members of the Galactic Federation, a new Tomorrow Person, schoolteacher Elizabeth M'Bondo, breaks out. As this is going on, violence around the world is increasing, due to blue and green badges being distributed by a disguised alien species, the D'henagali, who need large amounts of violent energy in order to metamorphose into their energy-based adult phase and leave the planet. According to TIM, this happened once before, in ancient Rome, where the Blues and the Greens destabilised the empire, leading to its long-term collapse. The Tomorrow People turn Skylab into a giant stun gun to prevent widespread destruction. However, the violent emotions emitted through the sleeping populace's dreams gives the D'henagali all the energy they need and more to leave Earth, and they gratefully do so without further incident.

| Time Guardian Peter is able to contact John and Stephen in simultaneous vague dreams, directing them to find a first century A.D. Roman "Gladiator Vase" in the New York State University department of antiquities computer database. Encoded into the pot are directions for John and TIM to construct a "makeshift time disc". In using the device Stephen is trapped by the Time Guardians for unauthorised use of the time lanes. He is able to convince the Time Guardians to help the Tomorrow People travel to ancient Britain to help Peter, who has been enslaved in a gladiator school without his abilities. In ancient Britain, Roman officers from an alternate history are trying to alter the past in order to restore their own timeline, one in which the Roman Empire never fell in CE 476 and has had a thirteen hundred year technological head start on our own world due to the premature invention of a working steam engine, which meant it has become the core of a major galactic empire.

| An experimental weapons research establishment abducts new Tomorrow Person Tyso Boswell, who is in the process of breaking out, and it is revealed that Earth's governments are engaged in a covert psionic arms race that involves the exploitation of telepaths. Led by Colonel Masters, who wants to exploit telepaths as a decisive new secret weapon in the Cold War, he manages to get his hands on Stephen when he comes looking for Tyso. Masters is being helped by a young telepath, Tricia Conway who is partially telepathic so can hear the Tomorrow People all the time. After some desperate tactics, involving the temporary kidnapping of the British Prime Minister, the Tomorrow People gain the assistance of the British government, which orders Masters to release Elizabeth, Stephen and Tyso. John confronts an agonized Tricia, who is traumatised by the magnitude of telepathy that 'full telepaths' like the Tomorrow People are capable of, with a tantalizing observation. It is not too late for Tricia herself to break out.

It is also revealed that the alien Kulthan Empire were responsible for delaying the emergence of homo superior on Earth and elsewhere through installing a hidden "psi damper" in the Great Pyramid of Cheops. Peeri has a similar device concealed within one of its own pyramids, until John deactivates it.

| An old nemesis returns to try to destroy the Tomorrow People one last time, after the Kulthan Empire retrieves Jedikiah's robotic body from the surface of Mercury during the time of ancient Egypt, reactivate his shapechanger abilities, and use him as a Pharaoh. He then remains inactive as an Egyptian mummy and re-emerges in 1975. Upon his return, he becomes the assistant to a second rate magician in order to pursue the Tomorrow People. During the course of the storyline, Jedikiah impersonates Stephen and kills Colonel Masters, leading to John and Elizabeth being gunned down by the British military, as is Timus' clone brother, Tikno when he tries to heal them. Fortunately, they all survive and recover- because of the strain of the aforementioned events and the proximity of full telepaths, Tricia breaks out and jaunts to the Lab, reactivating TIM for long enough for him to produce a distress call to the Galactic Trig. Jedikiah's plot is eventually foiled when Timus arrives and removes his shape shifting abilities, condemning him to life on Earth as a human derelict. The Tomorrow People are granted honorary status at the Galactic Federation and are taken away by Timus, along with Tricia, with only a vague and haunting promise from Elizabeth to Professor Cawston to return...sometime

The Tomorrow People set out to find Pavla before either the KGB or the SIS do. Mike locates her outside a disco but a sudden appearance from KGB agents makes her flee the scene. Later, she does fall back into their hands before a daring raid by the SIS sees her become a prisoner of the British. Hooked up on a machine to extract memories from her brain, a horrified Mike contacts the Russian ambassador (another KGB agent) in the hope he can get her released, having fallen in love with her. But the KGB has implanted a miniaturized incendiary device in Pavla's brain which is detonated to stop her revealing too much, killing her. She dives out a window to save the lives of the others and Mike is left distraught.

| Jade, who was first introduced in The Culex Experiment, is woken by her dog at night and witnesses a meteorite falling from the sky. While she is investigating a subsequent occurrence, she is captured by a military operation headed by General Damon (Megabyte's father) an operation aggravated by the meddling General Beaumont-Savage. Ami is off on a tour of Australia, leaving Adam and Megabyte to help General Damon and Jade solve why everyone in her village suddenly likes to mysteriously sit in the dark with sunglasses on; and what exactly they are doing in secret with all the meteorites; and what all this has to do with the comeback tour of Rock star Byron Lucifer who will be performing in front of many fans.
