they werent sent in the future, that was part of a scenario concocted by omega and gamma in an attempt to drive him even more insane

all the stupid things that ever happened to them, EVERYTHING in blood gulch

the lack of drinking water (but no lack of undrinkable materials) the fact that it is never night (i am sure they used tech to simulate a forever sun)

the whole time travel thing

It was all an attempt to drive the alpha even more insane

But I think that church had built up an immunity to it, they just had to try newer and wierder things to get to him

It appearently stopped workin after a while though

like he had just accepted the insanity that was his exsistence
