Excerpt from: The Engineer and the Time Lady

“It's still within the terrestrial network,” Eta said.

 

“Still, I'll help,” Alpha decided.

 

 

In Engineering, Gamma checked over the Warp Core. It was working perfectly, without any problems. All the systems were working fine. She was tempted to deactivate herself again, but Alpha had decided that at least one Hologram would be on duty in Engineering at all times. She didn't fault her reasoning. She walked over to a panel and brought up the scans from Octavius' experiment again. There were many reasons why it had gone awry. “OK, replay it in real time.”

She watched as the experiment unfolded, and listened to the commentary Nina had recorded. 'Something...' she thought as the she watched the magnetic field increase. Maybe it was the fact that Octavius was using Tritium? Or was there something with the Tritium. 'OK, did Nina scan the Tritium container specifically? She checked, and saw that she didn't. 'It is a mystery then,' she thought. Or were there other such containers? “Gamma to Alpha.”

 

 

Alpha listened to Gamma's proposal. It seemed like a good idea. “We'll use the probes to scan the planet for more concentrated Tritium.”

 

There's certainly something there,” Gamma said again.

 

“We're doing it now.”

 

 

“SHEILD is giving us the runaround,” Aialah said a while later.

Excerpt from: Artifact in Lawndale

“Agent Myka Bering, with the Secret Service,” she said, holding out her badge. “There was a report of a strange occurrence at this school earlier today.”

 

“I don't think the Secret Service has juristiction here!” Angela said.

 

“The School District will beg to differ,” Agent Bering said, just before the phone rang.

 

Li picked it up. “Hello?”

 

Ms. Li. We have received a request from the Secret Service to investigate today's strange events at your school. You are ordered to cooperate.”

 

“I will get to the bottom of this!” the principal exclaimed.

 

Bye.”

 

She slammed the receiver down.

Excerpt from: An Aquatic Second Contact

USS Cerritos NCC 75567

“Captain’s Log Stardate 59063.3. The Cerritos has completed repairs after the Battle against Buenamigo’s Folly. We’re now on route to the Theta Aquarii System, home to a recently first contacted species, close to Klingon Space. We hope to get back into a routine of professionalism.”

 

Captain Carol Freeman reflected that she and her crew were lucky to have got out of the situation with the Aledo with the Cerritos more of less intact. She emerged onto the Bridge. “Time to system?” she asked.

 

“Two hours, 47 minutes,” Commander Ransom reported.

 

 

T’Lyn entered the conference room and saw that she was the first there.

Excerpt from: Chasing Time

“Yes,” the Doctor said.

 

“Cool.” Lauren then thought for a moment. “So, we’re going back to when I heard the sounds?”

 

“Yes,” the Doctor said again.

 

“Is that a good idea?” Clara asked.

 

“We’re not going to cross paths with Lauren’s past self,” the Doctor said.

 

 

Clara still wasn’t sure it was a good idea. “Probably not, but…”

 

“Don’t worry,” the Doctor said, as he set the TARDIS in motion.

 

 

A Week Earlier

The TARDIS materialised after Lauren’s past self had gone into the house.

Excerpt from: Mystery Incorporated in Lawndale

Daria, Velma, Jane and Daphne followed him across, leaving Shaggy, Scooby and Trent on the other side. “After you,” Shaggy said to Trent.

 

“It’s OK to be afraid,” Trent said. “Just don’t look down.”

 

“That’s what the others say. I always look down.”

 

“Hmm. I’ll be right behind you,” Trent said.

 

“Right…” Shaggy steeled himself with a glance at Scooby and then looked at where Velma was encouraging him from the other side.

Excerpt from: Merry and Estella

They sat there, next to each other, for a while, before deciding to head back into the Smail, holding hands.

 

 

“Merry!”

 

Merry turned, it was one of his cousins. “Mimosa? What is it?”

 

“Your father is looking for you,” Mimosa Brandybuck said.

 

“Oh!”
