Time Travel Detection Now Possible

STATE COLLEGE, Jan 7 -- The Applied Physics Department of Penn State, in conjunction with scientists from Rising Sun, the TL7 USSR, the Hive, Technomage refugees from the Technosphere Star Ship Daedalus, and others, have figured out a way to detect potential time travel events.
"This could be the key to at least slowing the rate of decay predicted by the Grimes Effect," said Dr. Andrew Halloway, formerly of the Thread Physics department at Berkeley. "Time travel events make local spacetime more fragile, accelerating the Grimes Effect."
The Hive is manufacturing tachyon detection devices to issue to the ITF Joint Expidentionary Team to detect potential time travel events as part of the JET's ITF-mandated mission to stop the Grimes Effect.
Darklings Outpace Grimes, Han in Poll

MANHATTAN, ENY, Nov 10 (HNS) -- A recent opinion poll rated "Darklings" as the cross-Thread threat that concerned people the most, over even the Grimes Effect (which, if not dealt with, could destroy the local universe) and the Union of Han Airmen, who seek to impose their vision of reality on all humans worldwide. Dr. Edgar Palmer of the Penn State Department of Esoteric Studies commented: "Darklings have started to loom large in the public consciousness due in part to the anti-Darkling media campaign by cross-Thread zaibatsu Mitsui-PC, funded by the Darkling Committee of the ITF, which was created at the behest of the ITF's Esoteric Sub-Committee."

Red Zone "Paradoxical," Say Scientists

STATE COLLEGE, Jan 7 -- The Physics Department of Penn State, in conjunction with scientists from Rising Sun, the TL7 USSR, the Hive, Technomage refugees from the Technosphere Star Ship Daedalus, and others, released a series of connected papers today describing the Red Zone as "a paradoxical place where multiple histories are all true at once." According to the scientists in question, different parts of the Red Zone may experience different physical constraints or even different histories at a given time. "Depending on when you interact with it, the Zone could a verdant garden of poisonous vegetation filled with primitive tribes or a dustbowl with tiny, hard-scrabble communities living on scavanged supplies," said Dr. Haslan Abu Hassan of Penn State Department of High-Energy Physics, formerly a member of the Universiti Sains Malaysia. "The disturbing thing is the inhabitants will remember and have evidence of years of completely contradictary histories."
Reports paint the Red Zone as, among other things, a fertile jungle filled with dinosaurs, a radioactive waste filled with pig-like mutants, or a place not unlike any other part of the Midwest. While readings generally give the thread a Tech Level of 6 on the Penn State Tech Level Scale, show a high Kellner ("magic") rating and display a high level of compatibility with Hypertech devices, some readings vary widely from those for extended periods of time, including one set of observations which consistently reported the Thread as TL5 with a Kellner rating of 1.2 for an entire month, during which time the observation team was "attacked constantly by giant ants."

Indian Empire Muddles towards Monarchy

HNS
The arrival of Lord Franklin Martin Baron Gangapur in London as Ambassador Plenipotentiary for the Viceroy of India moves the two large economies one step closer to a new super-state.
Occasionally we read some fascinating story of a couple separated when time severed, often now tragically different in age. Grandchildren of marriages that didn't happen, lovers separated by decades...all the stock and trade of schlock romance, or the occasional real-life expose, such as Capt. John Nunio and his wife Joann, who are raising an earlier incarnation of Joann, as their ward. Joann was born in Romania in 1983 and raised in an orphanage. She was rescued by relief workers and eventually immigrated to the United States where she married John in 2017. Now in her seventies, she and her husband, who is 66 worked with ENY Dr. Julia Johnston to find the Seven year old Ioana in a Romanian orphanage. Identified by DNA testing, Romanian officials allowed her to leave as a "Citizen of the Empire of New York." A complex legal case regarding her citizenship was dismissed without precedent when Emperor Michael II decreed Ioana a citizen early this year.
But what happens when the separated are a Country? Fragments of an Empire. In the case of India, the case has been more confusing.
