Timelines

Time travel.

It's been a dream of man for a long time. As scifi and science developed, it became more complicated. I feel it's like a mix of Doctor Who, Continuum and Back to the Future. With the exception that the Grandfather paradox could never happen, you'd just create a new time-line. How many time-lines exist? I think it's related to super strings. Connecting these differing possibilities is dreams. Every so often something collapses and something happens. There are fixed points in time. This is when things collapse or have to happen. You could call it the will of God, or simply time-line maintenance.

In the beginning these quantum worlds created by time travel existed for only a short time – 10 min. The effects were rather less pronounced than people though. Setting up the need for clean rooms, where every nuance and change was dutifully recorded.

Soon, through YouTube videos, twitter records and re purposing of old technology a method of communication was set up. Code words were embedded in the Closed Captioning of videos and #hastag was the language of choice – as minor changes could be compared quickly. A shot of a fish might be a few degrees different or a different colour. Nothing that wouldn't be noticed to the people involved, since nothing had changed for them, but clues that the Temporal Team #police had ventured into a new timeline #route

Other codes include #room which could mean the main control room or the subjects room #depending on context. #fire was the code for something going unexpected, warning someone of a disaster that was already prevented by other means, or that something was about to happen to a Time Team

They organized the time-lines by the Doctors of Doctor who. Time-line 1 was the control time-line - “Not One Line” Where history is as people remember it, no controversies or interference. Strictly observation only. Soon they got braver and started interference. This created Time-line 2 and people coming back from making changes would be disorientated and mad for a while, only able to recall a small amount of what they did.

#SHOT #show was the review of the actual tapes and interviews with people that were effected. In order for a change to stick though, it had to be repeated several times, as closely as possible. A journey back to the Timeline 1 and repeated for permanence.

One of the first examples was the destruction of the twin towers by other means. All people were evacuated and given into witness protection programs in order for the normal timeline to continue. A few broke the silence and Timeline 3 was created. This is where major disasters that shaped humanities history didn't happen at all.

The trade towers didn't fall, the Titanic never sank and it was a different place all together.

This was discovered by a team of warp scientists on the far edge of the solar system. One of the two new planets discovered was dubbed 'Chronos' and it contained a gateway into this other dimension. Unfortunately for the inhabitants of Timeline 1, it was much more advanced and robots guarded the entrance to the portal.

Fortunately though, the rough protocol was encoded in the Doctor who Audio Drama #real #time. In which, timeline 3 shares some of the data they had already spied from Timeline 1. Sub-dermal transponders and the like.

Timeline 1 had much more scifi technology, focused more on visual than audio data. The dreams resulting from the disasters that were not prevented left a mark on the psyche that Time3 found fascinating.. .
