Planch, Mors- Little is known of him. Influential in the Renaissance of
Ktlina, he is known to have come from Madder Loss, another Chaos world, and
blamed Hari Seldon for the suffering the Chaos Worlds later suffered.
Around 2 FE (Foundation Era) he mysteriously disappeared on the planet
Earth, where he later re-appeared 500 years later. There he met....

He came through at the other end of the sphere, and fell out into rubble. He looked up, and found to men standing before him. One he recognized as R. Gornon Vlimt, a robot he had seen on Earth before he leapt through the machine, into the future. The other he didn't recognize. Planch got up and asked.
"How long has it been?"
"500 years. A long time."
"Long? Good. I wanted to get away, and I have. What's happened to Madder Loss?" Even though he had gone through 5 centuries in seconds, the man still cared for his planet, its renaissance and what started the events that caused him to go through.
"Madder Loss is long gone Planch. It was destroyed by the Empire and General Riose several centuries ago." Planch didn't believe him. he didn't want to.
"No! No...it couldn't happen. You're lying!" Planch sank down the floor whimpering. After a few seconds he looked him, and knew it was true. He recognized who Gornons companion was.
"Demerzal."
"Demerzal?" The robot answered. "I haven't gone by that name for years. Please call me Daneel. Now sir, please follow me, the Earth is dangerously radioactive and we must go before we all die." The two robots headed off for a ship Planch could see in the distance, and he reluctantly followed.
5 minutes later, Planch was safely aboard the ship, and R.Gornon and Daneel were back at the machine waiting for another passenger from the past. That day, long ago, R.Gornon and a faction of robots had attempted to kidnap Hari Seldon and thrust him into the future, so he could decide on the future of humanity. Daneel and stopped them, destroying most of the rebel Robots, but some like Gornon had been reconstructed, and now were part of Daneels Zeroth Law religion. Although Daneel had been able to stop Seldon from going through, he had been unable to stop two other men, Mors Planch and Lord Biron Maserd. They were now waiting for the later. They did not have to wait long. A blue sphere came out of the machine again, and another man was flung through. Unlike Planch, Maserd seemed more relaxed.
"Daneel, Gornon. Good to see you old chaps. I take it I'm in the future?"
"You are indeed Lord Maserd. Will you now please follow me." As before, the two robots returned to the ship, followed by the human from the past.
When they were all aboard the ship lifted off, and ascended slowly. Planch and Maserd had been locked into what use to be the mess hall, but without humans on the ship it had been modified into a makeshift cell. From the windows they saw the ship go up, through the atmosphere and into space. They both expected the ship to leave the system and go back to Trantor, maybe even one of the Spacer worlds, Aurora or maybe even Solaria. But it didn't. The hyperdrive was never even engaged. The ship turned about and headed at a steady speed towards Earth's moon, which Daneel called Luna. The trip lasted about thirty minutes, and when this time had elapsed the ship set down slowly but surely beside another one, more advanced, just outside a large garden. Planch supposed this was either Daneels house, or whatever kind of Council or Senate the Eternals might have had. The door to their cell opened, and R. Daneel Olivaw walked in. He turned to them and said.
"I am sorry." The two humans felt a force penetrate their minds, and they fell to the ground unconscious.
