History

The Future is Now

In the 49th century Earth is now the "Old World" left behind by billions of colonists for other worlds. Those left behind, too entrenched in the old ways have fractured into hundreds warring states. And yet amidst this lapse into barbarity, the miracle of time travel is discovered by man. By the 51st century a secret organization monitors and adjust the time stream around Earth and several of it's colonies. This organization is known simply as the Time Agency. Towards the end of that century rumors and portents had been reaching the agency that a time-spanning war was coming and the consensus was that if the agency was to become embroiled in it, as an agency that monitors time must, then the standard clandestine Time Agent was not going to be enough. In order to prepare for that war the Time Agency created the Secret Soldier Division. The Time Agency's soldier division were designed to be self sufficient solo combatants with the utmost mobility and precise weaponry. Unlike their Agents, the soldier project called for individuals to be suffused with nano genes to increase their physical abilities and to provided rapid healing and regenerative properties. They were also fitted with an environment suit that, coupled with the optional helmet and flight gear, made it possible to for them operate in most terrestrial environments including under water and high altitude. Their vortex manipulator took the form of a belt that also incorporated technology that allowed the soldiers to adjust their density, and inertial dampening. They could be lighter than air or heavier than lead relatively speaking. It also powered the kinetic shielding technology that could be projected from their gloves and used as either shields or battering rams. The whole combat system was also designed with a Temporal Camoflage system so that the soldiers could easily disguise themselves by having their equipment and combat suit mimick the clothing and aparatus of whatever time period they travelled to. Finally, in anticipation of the actual war that was rumored to be approaching, each Soldier was also equipped with an advanced space worthy aircraft. It could travel through time with it's own built in circuitry or it could interface with the soldiers vortex manipulator.


Up to this point, the Time Agency had experienced a number of defections and cases of agents going AWOL. In fact it was becoming so frequent that the leadership of the Agency decided that the first order of business was to police their own. The first 5 Time soldiers were chosen for their utter dedication to the Agency and it was decided their first mission would be to track down and apprehend some of the worst of the TA defectors. Soldier number 1 was Captain Charles Griffin. He was the best of the best and was chosen to be sent after the worst of the worst, Time Agent Thomas Hunter. It was also the most dangerous mission as it was determined that Hunter had fled beyond the point of no return at the beginning of the 21st century, to the beginning of the 20th.



Captain Griffin piloted his ship through the time stream where he encountered a massive disruption that severely damaged his ship and him as we'll. He was forced to crash land in Northern England in the year 1916 where he was discovered and rescued by a budding super scientist /adventurer named Robert Hollingsworth. Captain Griffin recovered quickly from his injuries with the aid of his nanogenes but his ship was damaged seemingly beyond repair. With the help of his brilliant rescuer, he was able to salvage part of the ejection system which amounted to a jet pack that would provide him with the edge he needed to track down his quarry across Europe if need be. Unfortunately he realized that he was in the middle of World War 1 and that he had no other clues to lead him to his target. In the mean time, as an able bodied man, he was forced to join the armed services and was able to distinguish himself as a pilot. In 1917 the German Air Force began to show a marked superiority in aircraft technology, so much so that Griffin was forced to use his own technology to combat it, including using his jet pack and weaponry to defend the skies over Britain. In the later case he did so anonymously and the British public began calling him, The Sky Marshal. Originally assigned to a home defense squadron, Captain Griffin asked to be assigned to the front, so that he would have a better chance at tracking the source of the new technology utilized by the Central Powers. And as the Sky Marshal, he began to take a heavy toll on enemy air forces till finally the Germans fielded their own super soldier known as Baron Luftjaeger. Griffin immediately recognized the technology the Baron used as coming from his own era and knew that he had found Agent Hunter. But it was also plain that Agent Hunters arrival had been just as disastrous as his own and lacking nanogenes to heal him, Hunter had been horribly disfigured and in fact depended on an armored suit salvaged from his own craft as a life support system. Griffin and Hunter played a cat and mouse game over the skies of France and Germany for nearly a year before Baron Luftjaeger finally used his vortex manipulator to flea this time zone.


By then the war was nearly over. Captain Griffin believed that he had no way to trace the Barons time jump but upon returning to England discovered that his friend Robert Hollingsworth had managed to repair his ship, and the tracking equipment within pointed back to the future. Knowing that time was relative, Griffin took his time to fully repair his ship as well as the technology of the time would allow and did his best to prepare for the encounter with the time storm he knew was waiting for him a century from now. In 1919 Griffin departed and slowly approached the massive distortion which he pinpointed as being the year 2010, with the spatial center being vibora bay Florida in the United States. Captain Griffin approached as close as he possibly could to the time storm and then dropped back into normal time. his plan being that he would simply live through the time in question in normal space and hopefully be able to come out of it on the other side. The distortion of time was so complete that he was sure that Agent Hunter would have been forced to do the same.


The world he encountered was not one he had expected. Because of the distortion, the Time agency knew very little about this era and although there had been legends of heroes that survived into the future, they were believed to be just that, legends not based in reality. But here Griffin found that was completely wrong. This world abounded with heroes and villains of vast power. But it wasn't long before he picked up the trail of Agent Hunter who was still going by the name of "Baron Luftjaeger" in Canada. He had apparently come out of the vortex several years earlier and had fallen in with a diabolical reclusive scientist known as Teleios. But shortly after he arrived in Canada the trail dried up. Griffin decided to settle and wait for the time of the distortion to pass and became a Canadian bush pilot as a cover for his other activities.


Despite the plethora of heroes, it seemed like there was never one around when you needed one. Captain Griffin was compelled on occasion to reassume his persona of the Sky Marshal and was even recognized from his wartime service. (Though most people assumed this was a "new" Sky Marshal)


Also in the mean time Charles contemplated the cause of the temporal storm hovering just outside his future. He was able to determine that while the nexus of the storm was in Florida, the tendrils of it's beginning started in Millennium City. while investigating the possible temporal nodes involved, he became embroiled in a conspiracy to steal magical artifacts from various places in the city. By the time he realized he had been duped, he also realized he had unwittingly become part of the time distortion event with nothing left to do but to press onward and hope that the solution lay on the other side of it. He was forced to travel to Vibora Bay where he faced nothing less than the end of the world. And, despite his best efforts, he failed to avert it. The Champions, and everyone that had arrived with them to battle the supernatural menace there had perished except for the Sky Marshal and an inventor called Juryrig. An inventor that had created a time machine. The pieces of the puzzle had fallen into place. The Sky Marshal and Jury rig escaped through the time machine back to the past, but they arrived at a different time and location than when the crisis actually began. While they might still prevail to stop the Armageddon about to unfold, they could not stop the previous one from beginning again.


This is when Captain Griffin realized what had happened to the time stream. The use of a time machine at the heart of such a momentous event had caused a massive knot of time loops to form at the same moment in time. For while time would now progress again in this loop it was not capable of preventing new loops from forming. As one set of heroes fled through time to stop the end of the world, another different group was starting it again. Being from the future, Charles knew that the disaster would ultimately be averted but the only way to unravel the time knot would be to travel again back through it as he did before, which had nearly killed him. For now he would just ensure that the disaster was stopped and wait till he was clear of the knot and then consider going forward to report what he had found to the Agency. However, the magic that suffused Vibora Bay, and played an essential role in the disaster, unnerved him. Even in his time there were a few supposed practitioners but it was largely removed from the main stream of society. Here it was quite real and vital. Charles decided to return to Millennium City to look for allies against this magic, using the few contacts he had managed to make there already. Upon his return he was startled to run into his old friend Robert Hollingsworth now known as the super scientist Heron. Robert was very pleased to see Charles again but also a little hesitant. Charles was confounded since he knew that Robert would have to be over 100 years old by now. And while he did appear very old and frail, clad in a strangely familiar suit that aided in his mobility and life support not unlike the one used by Baron Luftjaeger including a time belt very much like his own, he didn't seem that old.


Robert finally related his story to his old friend after Charles assured him that living with the reality of time travel had prepared him for what ever he would have to say. See Heron
