Excerpt from: Trouble in the Future v2

The reports had shown that a number of female students had gone to the Bistro, drank heavily and then had woken up, back at their college in a common room with no memory of the night before and their heads shaved. Only one at a time, and it was sporadic through the first semester of 2000, but it was obviously quite distressing to the young ladies involved. Clearly Amanda's heart had gone out to them when she had read about their circumstance. At least that was Leigh's thought on the matter.

They had gone over the police report on the first occurrence that would occur that night. According to a Marie Green TASIS agent on the scene in the Bistro, the young lady involved had yet to leave, and still had her fairly long brown hair. That was another commonality, the young ladies involved all had hair of varying shades of brown. All five agents who knew of it agreed, the creep had to be stopped.

“We'll go over it again,” Sara said, in front of the board. “As soon as she leaves the Bistro, we'll leave the College and intercept her and whoever is with her.”

“Then we'll trail them,” Myra said.

“Myra and I, that is,” Leigh said, clarifying that it was Myra and himself rather than a different group.

“Yes,” Myra confirmed.

“You'll follow them to where-ever they are going,” Emma said.

“When they enter one of the other colleges, we'll call you,” Leigh added.

“Then Emma and I will use the Rapid Response to enter that College and try to stop the act being committed,” Sara said.
“That's it,” Leigh said.


It wasn't until 1:50, that they got the message from the agent in the Bistro. The potential victim had left. “Get moving,” Sara said to Leigh and Myra.

They both nodded, and left the Main Room.


In a secluded area of the University's main courtyard, close to the library, a portion of the lawn dropped down, revealing a stairway downwards. Leigh and Myra emerged, then it closed. “OK, the potential victim is still near the Bistro,” Myra said, once their egress point had disappeared.

“Let's get there, then,” Leigh said.

“Yes.”


They approached the entrance to the Bistro/Cafeteria area. And saw the person they were looking for.

It seemed that the initial attack, many months ago, was entirely unexpected.

Excerpt from:Daria (and other characters) on the Defiant round robin (Mystery of the Defiant)

“The information is what it is,” Kim said.

Spinelli still had none of it. “A Disney character? Give me a break!”

“I knew you would say that,” Carsen said. “But think about this, how else would the computer know your name?”

After a short silence Spinelli had another answer. “I don't know. I guess that's what's happening. But I know one thing. I'm hungry!”

“Kim, show her the Mess Hall.”

Europe
In 1611, civil unrest causes the Great Fire of London. The almost entirely wooden city is burned to the ground, leaving only the Tower of London, the Roman Walls and the Palace of Westminster standing. Evidence of the city's Saxon, Norse, Roman, Celtic, Britonic and Trojan past is destroyed. Most of the population survives by retreating into the catacombs beneath the city. By the end of 1614 rebuilding has started in earnest.

The Burgundian War continues



Africa
The Great Songhai War reaches yet another stagnation...


Antipodia
The Southern Romans establish a new settlement far to the north of Pertica Australis, named Felicia. They claim a small region around the area.

The Maori continue expanding northwards. Their explorers encounter Balinese explorers...
They also explore the Great Barrier Reef...

The Balinese expand onto the peninsula to the east of their current holdings...
They then run into trouble with the Followers of the Dark Watcher...

Excerpt from: Defiant Map Game (Alternate version of Mystery of the Defiant)

“Earth that was?” Daria asked, it was obvious that whatever fiction River came from, it would be released in her future. 'I'm not asking the computer in her presence,' she thought. She was sure that Captain Sisko wouldn't either.

“Humanity used up the Earth. We had to flee. Found new homes,” River still hadn't moved from the fighting stance, next to the dedication plaque, her eyes shifting nervously between Daria, Sisko and the Wall.

“Interesting,” Sisko said. “We don't know who would appear next.”

“Hour by hour the tale continues,” River said.

Daria didn't know what to make of that. She had already suspected that something was responsible for their predicament. From Q to Mr. Mxyzptlk...

Both Waller and Weatherwax moved towards River. “No!” she said to Waller. “Stay out!” she said to Weatherwax. She turned and then fainted.

Daria ran to her. “She's still breathing,” she said.

Granny joined her. “Her mind is full of pain. She will wake again soon.”

Sisko stood up from the Command Chair. “I'll take her to Sickbay. You have the Bridge, Ms. Morgendorffer.”


Greg Heffley was still in the sickbay. He hadn't left after writing his diary entry a less than ten minutes before. Then the Captain arrived carrying someone he hadn't met yet.

“Greg, this is River, our latest arrival,” the Captain said as he placed the girl in one of the other beds.

Greg looked at River. She looked normal. Normal compared to most of the other people on the ship anyhow.
