North Dakota, 1939
Saiti: In the aftermath of the mechanical dinosaur fight we discuss our options until Herb the android starts sounding an alarm. Dare checks and it turns out that Russia 1984 is a temporal trouble spot, or "timestream incident". Knowing that to jump to action is to arrive unprepared, Dare and I set about to mathemagically scry this temporal location. As Dare is writing equations in the snow, Neferhotep is erecting shelter for us from the storm. I attempt to slightly improve Dare's calculations but find that I'm only adequate to the task.
The reason then appears—or rather disappears—before my eyes as I begin to fade in and out of reality in a fashion reminiscent of the classic film Back to the Future.
Our scry is successful and our sensor flies over the scene of a science carnival, complete with petting zoo. This would be a cause for celebration if not for the Russian and alien guards all over the complex that Dare and the DOPES destroyed in the timeline that we know and love. Neferhotep tells us that they are Globtrons, an ooze of an alien that pours itself into a suit to resemble a man.
Russia, Alternate Future, 1984
Saiti: We arrive in 1984 without issue. Herb dresses as a mechanic to enter the building—requiring no costume change on his part—and I hide on his person, gaining me entrance. Dare is recognized by this mirror world version of Willenthorp and he and Neferhotep are welcomed, as Dare is one of the speakers.
We learn that this celebration is centered around the anniversary of First Contact with the Globtrons by the Russians. (See Shotguns & Strings, —editor) Apparently the Russians and aliens have been working together for a while now, which is a big change from our timeline.
