The Program
Under the visionary leadership of Dr. Elena Park, the DOT has revolutionized our understanding of "The Final Moment." Dr. Park is the world’s leading expert in Molecular Anchorage, the science that allows us to rescue individuals—our Recovered subjects—at the precise moment history was done with them.“At the DOT, we don't change history; we curate it. My job is to ensure that when a subject steps through the Door, they aren't just a ghost from the past—they are a living, breathing human being with a future.” > — Dr. Elena Park
