Alternate Ngoverse moves on in a direction as Amanda Ngo has returned after her brother who only placed background role in Administrator AU becomes main character for this story of this AU uses unique solution to recover her. Previous six story arc was set starting in 3140s and beyond, named the The Administrator Series with Sharon Ngo being main character. However, Alternate Ngoverse set Elizabeth Ngo's children on different path, with Amanda experiencing different events skewing away from what created the Inner Sphere changing events of the Administrator series to accrue.
