This is set in my Silent Echoes universe, which was based on the television version of Batman Beyond. Likely, this story can be read without first reading the others as it is set before them, though some chapters will be lacking context supplied in other stories. Silent Echoes was written before the release of Return of the Joker, so it's important to note that it's not part of my universe. Also, it's before the Teen Titans or Justice League TV series. I'm not such which, if any, of those cartoons are supposed to be connected, but they aren't at all here.
Silent Echoes was the first story I wrote solo, which I started posting on ffdotnet back on October 1, 2000. And what a different website it was back then. I finally came back to this account recently, reread the story, and decided I wanted to do something for the 10th anniversary.
All these plotlines where outlined 10 years ago in my notes, but not all of the details were flushed out. As I write this in 2010, some of those details are influenced by newer Batman storylines, but my frameworks is the same. These are the events I envisioned which helped create the Batman Beyond universe when I was writing back in 2000.

Added the timeline elements to Dick and Alfred's stories - Day 1 (Tamaran) and Day 0 respectively. I always knew I needed a timeline but wasn't quite sure how I wanted to represent the time relativity or reference point. I also edited both parts a little bit to reduce redundant or unnecessary information about the past. I think the reader can still understand what occurred.

So far, Tim's part came out closest to what was in my head. Or maybe I'm just proud I didn't call him Jason (or Jasim as I've named him) once.
