120 Beginnings of 2019 - A Journey of Change
A Journey of Change
The 747 was halfway through its flight. Danica Stanton
looked out at the Ocean. She still wasn’t sure that travelling to Canada alone
was a good decision, but she had wanted to get away. She was sure this was a
good a time as any.

“That would be obvious,” Leigh said.
“And she's on the warpath,” Corrine added. “...And I
suspect that she might be more angry once she knows I'm here.”
“So, what do we need to do?” Di asked.
Corrine handed a printout and CD to Leigh. “Two things.
Leigh and I will try to save Clarissa from being shaved, and you will distract
Kristia.”
“Got it,” Di said. “How hard can that be?”
Meanwhile, an alert had gone off in Austin's Main Room,
frazzling Kristia's already frayed nerves. “Temporal Incursion!” Cath reported.
Kristia had been trying to keep track of the Mara Green
agents. “Not again! Why is Mara Green getting all this help from the future?”
“I have no idea,” Cath answered.
“You, stay here. I'll find the time traveller.”

It took a while for Samson to return. Colin's reply came
back first. “No one is aware of any experiments.”

Great Lakes forces surge east, capturing Pittsburgh...
Similar losses occur in Virginia, Kentucky and
Missouri...
Dakotan forces capture most of Kansas and continue
onwards into Oklahoma.
The Battle of Denver occurs with General Eisenhower
directing the strategic retreat. He makes the Dakotans pay in blood for every
neighborhood they capture...
It was fortunate that the evacuation of the city had begun
a full weak before the battle started, otherwise the death toll would have been
much higher.
The Cascadians continue moving southwards...

In Olympia, the Council are happy with the conduct of the
War so far. They issue a declaration of War against France soon after Germany

“Computer, one bowl of spaghetti bolognaise and a glass
of Dom Perignon.”
The meal and wine materialised in the replicator. Nina
raised an eyebrow. “Impressive.”
As Nina started into her meal, Alpha excused herself,
returning to the Bridge.

gone before.”

Excerpt from: Doctor Who – A Time to Reflect
Tamsin Davis returned to the TARDIS ahead of the Doctor.
The adventures they had undertaken since they had left the city where they had
spent a few months had been invigorating, but exhausting. However, they were no
closer to finding help for the girl.

Excerpt from: Pokemon – Setting Out
It was a new day. But it was different to most days.
Daniela Karoshi had awoken early, to meditate upon the situation. Her son, Micah
had turned 10 the day before. That meant he was old enough to set out to become
a Pokemon Master.

Excerpt from: Changes in Time and Space (revision 2)
Sigrun had also had said that the Azores in 2018 were
relatively conservative for the period. So she had dressed similarly to Sigrun
and then left the wardrobe. As she entered the console room she saw Felicia
wandering around the console in thought. She didn’t notice that she had
entered. ‘Ok, I’ll just hop outside and wait for her with the others,’ she
thought, as she approached the outer door.
“There you are, Jia,” the Doctor said, as she saw her
companion from Tossekia IV exit the TARDIS.
“So what are we going to do? Are we looking for trouble?”
she asked.
“Possibly,” the Doctor said, with a cheeky tone.
“Absolutely, that is what the Doctor does usually,”
Daniel said.
“Most likely,” Sabir said.
“We are going to find some kind of trouble then?”
Jia’hale asked, knowing that the Azores probably won’t be peaceful for much
longer. The Doctor then had a thoughtful look on her face; she knew that she
had spoken truthfully.

“I didn't detect any life signs. I suppose the original
crew didn't survive the crash?” Nina asked.
“No,” Alpha answered.
They talked for a while longer.

“I missed you,” Mike said as he took Bella into a hug.
“It's only been a couple of days,” Bella said.
Abbey cleared her throat, as Bella and Mike started
gazing into each others eyes.

“Apparently,” Leela said.
“Let's go in. Get this over with,” Daria said.
“Of course,” Bender said.
The door opened. Daria didn't expect her nth-great grand
niece to look quite so, old. “Who are you?” she asked.
“I'm your Aunt Daria.”

Sabir said cheerfully. “She usually agrees with me.”
“For certain,” Daniel said as an afterthought. Sigrun
walked over to them, and waited with them for the others.
Agitated, Jia'hale re-entered the console room. Again
with Earth! The TARDIS hadn’t been to her home planet since before it began
going off course! She hoped that situation would change soon. She had just been
to the wardrobe, and had been pleased to remove the toga she had to wear
in Rome, and put on something more comfortable. She would have been happy to
leave the TARDIS with nothing. But the Doctor had said (more than once) that
the majority of places wouldn't have tolerated that sort of behaviour.

Excerpt from: Changes in Time and Space:
Within the Scanner, the battle continued. The Dalek
AIs continued to attempt to break the TARDIS' quarantine, to no avail.
One of the Dalek AIs decided to do something else to
force the Time Lord in control of the TARDIS to give it access to his/her ship
(Not knowing that it was the Oncoming Storm).
Sigrun and Jia'hale waited patiently whilst guarding
Kellira, when suddenly an alarm sounded in the Drahvin Bridge...
Sigrun saw that Kellira was suddenly afraid.
“What is wrong?” she asked.
“It is a decompression alarm! But how?” Kellira asked.
“Maybe your compatriots have decided to sacrifice you, to
kill the Doctor and us, not knowing that the TARDIS is here,” Jia'hale said.
“No! They wouldn't do that!” Kellira exclaimed.

Excerpt from: The Engineer and the Time Lady
“You're welcome to stay as long as you want to stay.”
“Thanks. I think I will for a while. But I also noticed
something more, about you. You look human, but you don't 'feel' human. I think
you're some kind of artificial intelligence.”
“How did you come to this conclusion?”
“Time Lords are touch telepaths. We can tell if someone
is biological or not.”
“You're right.”

Excerpt from: Doctor Who: An Ordinary Wednesday
Dani looked around the area the TARDIS had appeared in as
the Doctor locked the doors. “So, are we near the river?” Clara asked.
“We’re close to the centre of the town, between the
shopping area and the High School,” the Doctor answered. “It should be quiet.”
“It does seem quiet,” Dani said.
“That can change quickly,” Clara added.
“We need to get to a pub.”
“A pub?” Clara asked.
“Either that, or a restaurant, somewhere people would be
gathering for a relaxing dinner after a long day of work,” the Doctor said.
“Of course,” Clara said. Just wandering the town looking
for things that seemed to be out of place probably wasn’t a good idea.
“Have you and the Doctor been together long?” Dani asked
Clara as they walked away.
That seemed to bring Clara up short. “You mean, together
as in… together?”
Dani nodded.
“Um, no?” Clara said. Although she brushed her hair out
of her eyes with a nervous expression on her face.
“Known him long?”
“It’s a bit hard to tell time in the TARDIS. Probably
several months. Where is this going? Do you want to travel with him to?”
“Probably,” Dani admitted. She had been growing bored of
wondering what to do with her life, other than working at the Bean of Plenty
and going out clubbing.
The Doctor overheard Clara and Dani’s conversation.

It was more like twelve, like a jury. “It’s going to be a
while, right?”
“Yes. They’re going to recap the previous day’s session
before calling people forward.”
