Tower Rescue - Prelude

The Tower Rescue had been an interesting case. Sherlock had deduced the pattern quickly enough, but it seems Jim had his own means and methods for getting beyond the security.

Sherlock had warned the residence at midnight, long before before it happened. He had slipped in with the TARDIS and with the help of the others, dragged the sleeping residents to the main eating area and woke them up with a start. He quickly ran through the obvious implications of time travel as well as its eventual unavoidable nature, citing the various problems that Jim had caused. The meeting quickly switched over to Jack, who brought them up to speed on the specifics and some of the science of the future. The residents seemed to glaze over a bit. Sherlock got mad at their ignorance and yelled “Can't you see what's going on here?”

The angel stepped forward and said “ENOUGH” as his shadow wings quickly showed in the well timed flash of light. He quickly related the story of the battle of the Gibeon and how the shadow went back up the steps. The audience nodded appreciatively.

Watson took over and showed them a few quick videos showing the exploits of the team so far, as well as secret footage of Romeo and Juliet. The tower residences thought it might be an idea to take their CG character on a similar journey, as a way to break the idea to the rest of the followers.

The meeting ended on a somber note, as River explained that the destruction of the Headquarters was a fixed point in time, and that only when it actually arrived, would they be able to do something about it.

The angel brought up a few slides of his own, showing several possible resolutions to the matter. It was decided that the other Romeo would sacrifice himself at the time to end the paradox and give God reason to use the angel to let the event happen, then rewind and resolve it with Sherlock stopping Jim's final attack.

“It's too bad you won't remember this meeting ever happened” said River as she held up the tea. “Sweet dreams” she said as the residents fell back asleep, unceremoniously falling from their chairs.
