A Total Immersion Event, or shortened as a T.I.E.S., was adventures on the Absolution where something bad happens. The first one took place in 2000, known as The Intruder, where a intruder invades the Absolution, and shows how TOM 2 was born. The second one took place in 2001, known as Lockdown, where the Absolution gets trapped in a tractor-beam, and TOM tries his best to get the ship out of it before they are completely sucked in 178 years, 17 days, 10 hours, and 12 minutes. The third and final one took place in 2002, known as Trapped in Hyperspace, where SARA is attacked by a virus, so TOM and a Clyde have to get rid of this virus before it makes the ship crash into Earth. A week-long event in September 2003 wasn't a TOM or SARA adventure, it was a micro series of Toonami's first original series IGPX that premiered 2 years later on Toonami Saturday Nights, so the previous three count as a T.I.E.

Momocon Announcement:

At Momocon March 10, 2013 the Toonami team announced that a new TIE was in the works, they said it will be an online comic that will tell the story of How TOM 3 became TOM 4, how TOM 4 became TOM 3.5, where SARA and the Clydes are, and how we got TOM 5 and the new Absolution, this is a possible hint that after the comic premieres SARA and the Clydes may return to the new Absolution.
