Excerpt from: Changes in Time and Space

“Clara Oswald. I travel with the Doctor after Martha did.”

 

“And you're looking for someone named Felicia?”

 

“Yes. She travels with the Doctor after I do. Then Felicia is somehow skipping backwards along the Doctor's timeline,” Clara explained.

 

“Very interesting,” Will considered.

 

“So the Doctor sent me to find clues as to her whereabouts.”

 

“I didn't meet her, so I have no idea. But you could stay a while while I try to gather information.”

 

“But how long would that be?” Clara asked.

 

“I have my sources. It would be a week at most.”

Excerpt from: Doctor Who Season 8.5

“Yes,” the Doctor answered.

 

“Amazing!” TJ said with a smile on her face. “But now, back to the crack.”

 

“Carefully,” the Doctor admonished.

 

“Of course,” TJ said.

Excerpt from: Horrors of the Delta Quadrant

“What were you doing?”

 

“Hiding. From the demons,” Oyoup said.

 

“What demons?” Chakotay asked, wondering if the refugees were not alone.

“He’s just seeing things,” Hana said.

 

“Are you sure? You may not be alone on this station,” Chakotay said.

 

“It’s just us. And who are you?”

 

“Commander Chakotay, of the Federation Starship Voyager. As I was trying to say earlier, we answered your distress call.”

 

Tuvok looked at his tricorder. “Commander, I am not picking up any life signs other than us and the refugees. They’re all showing as the same species.”

 

“So, why are you here?” Chakotay asked.

 

“I came here, because there was no where else to go,” Hana said. “There are others who can explain more.”

 

“Lead the way,” Chakotay said.

 

 

Back on Voyager, Ensign Kim had scanned the station. “The storm is making the sensors unreliable, but some data has come through,” he said.

 

“And?” Janeway asked.

 

“And the ships the refugees arrived in are on the other side of the station. It looks like they were barely able to get here. The warp cores have had it and they’re very low on antimatter and have no spare dilithium.”

 

“So, if they’re to leave, we’ll have to take them on Voyager.”

 

“Yes.”

 

 

“You answered our distress call?” One of the leaders asked.

 

“Yes,” Chakotay answered. “Hana said you can explain why you are on the run.”

Canada

With the Quebec Status Referendum delayed again, civil unrest occurs throughout January in most of Southern Quebec. The Status Referendum is finally held in November, with a result of 55%, 45% remaining in Canada.

 

More climate change related issues continue to crop up in the Yukon, Northwest Territories and Nunavut.

 

 

United States

President Guilani tries re-direct funds from the High Speed Rail Project to Defense, but Congress won’t allow it.

 

The High Speed Rail opens between New York City and Philadelphia.

 

Many in Congress call out Guilani for risking World War Three due to his instigation of troop movements in Europe. (See below.)

 

 

South America

With Bolivia now in the Eastern Entente tensions continue to increase.

 

 

Africa

In South Africa, the Cape Town Socialists are held at bay. Despite this, unrest in the rest of the country increases.

 

 

 

Europe

The Neo Kalmar Union and the Commonwealth Trade and Defence Conference begin discussions on closer economic ties.

 

NATO, backed by Guilani’s willingness to confront the Eurasians over Ukraine, begins moving troops to the eastern states.

 

The Eurasians also move their troops to the western borders.

 

Thus peace teeters in the balance. But no one blinks. The situation slowly calms over the ensuing months.

 

 

Asia

The quagmire in Afghanistan sees no end in sight.

 

The Indian Civil War continues.
