Happy New Year all .. wanted to pop in a sim update so that when we come out of our respective turkey comas will remember where we’re at .. myself included!

The Manhattan has encountered two unidentified waves of energy that has affected the ship and crew in random ways – some becoming younger, others older, some untouched, and two perishing from it. Each passage of these waves caused a dramatic change in the space around them. One such change brought them inside the territory of a hostile group calling themselves the Crimson Hegemony. At the point of their coming under attack, space changed again. The source of this was a single world at the far end of the sector. Upon approach a buoy declared the system as under ‘temporal quarantine’ and not to approach. The planet, Marilia, responded to a hail from the single city called Tramelorin. Unable to dissuade the Manhattan from staying they were invited down. The Manhattan itself brought herself down under the city shield and holds position there, shielded from any further temporal waves.

Under discussion from three of the Marilians, Priestess There (Ther-ey), Writ Keeper Kela, and Scientist Reauna (Ray-u-na), they have discovered their very universe in in peril. The star of the Marilians had become unstable and the people feared for their existence. Never having pursued space travel (though their technology was superior) they were trapped barring an intervention. That came by means of their scientists devising a way of sending whole cities back in time to the distant past, all at different time periods but linked at both ends by anchor cities. The hope was that even if the First City – Tramelorin – became uninhabited the others would survive and with it their people. Two other cities, Raynata, the farthest city and other anchor, and Bakkalan, home of the Hegemony, have been identified.

In recent years it was found that Bakkalan, not wanting to remain a city along the line, has sought dominance and trying to work technologies to ‘move’ their city out from the line and become the anchor in place of Tramelorin. The problem that became known is that in their sending the cities into the past they didn’t simply create a temporal issue. Each city moved created in itself a whole new universe – each with a focal point link along the energy string that connected the cities through time and space. Were Bakkalan successful in their attempts it would result in the destruction of the universe that Tramelorin was in – and the Manhattan, and Starfleet.

The Manhattan has thus far been gleaning information to put all these bits together and to set their scientific community to work to form a solution, whether it be finding a way to communicate with Bakkalan first, or transport through a Gateway, reputedly one way as none have ever returned, or something else to save the worlds and their existence. Bakkalan seems close to finding a way to leap frog ahead.

Thanks for the update Gene!
