"A spatial jump is trivial when compared to the unknowns of time travel. One is like sliding along the ice, whilst the other is akin to descending blindly into the depths of the freezing water and reappearing as an acorn"

—Pg 2, THE INTRICACIES OF TIME TRAVEL, Sir R. H. Hargreeves

"In the 50th year of Earth's 20th century, all able-bodied Garde & their Cêpans who had escaped from the invasion & subsequent collapse of Lorien, landed on our sister planet without much fanfare…Native representatives came to greet the numerous shuttles and helped to scatter the survivors across the globe in the hopes of evading further prosecution by the pursuing Mogadorians…It did not take long for the Mogadorian's Scouting Fleets to follow…and in the 54th year of Earth's 20th century, the witch hunt for the Council Ennead began; starting with Evangeline-Ent's [Evangeline of One] death…No one was safe"

—Pg 10—13, THE WITCH HUNT FOR THE COUNCIL ENNEAD, E. Gussman

"…I don't remember much of it, too consumed in my grief for my vera, but I could remember being held. Could remember digging my fingers in to Luther-Ent's [Luther of One] coat so tight that my nails tore free thread when he tossed me aside…It was hard to keep my eyes open…and the pull of the temporal plane was far too strong…It didn't take long for us to be pulled apart—ripped away or tossed aside—either way, we were alone…Spat out in various places along the timeline, we had escaped the terrors of the apocalypse, but not those to this new (old) timeline…"

"I honestly couldn't tell you why I landed so far back in the timeline, away from everyone else. I can only assume that when the opportunity arose to toss out the baby with the bathwater (me), Luther-Ent took it… Not that it mattered. When I woke, I woke alone"

"Why should I have to fight my equality when it is my HUMAN RIGHT to share the same bathroom as you?…The vision of the National Association for the Advancement of the Coloured People is to ensure a society in which ALL of the individuals have EQUAL rights WITHOUT discrimination based on race…I know that one day a black president WILL sit in that oval office, in the White House and, by God, I wanna be there when it happens!"

"…He said 'Son, when you grow up, would you be the Saviour of the Broken, the Beaten and the Damned?' He said, 'Will you defeat them? Your demons and all the non-believers, and the plans that they have made? Because one day, I'll leave you as a phantom…to lead you in the summer; to join the Black Parade…"

CRIME BEAT, 1960

DISTURBED MAN WITH MULTIPLE KNIVES ARRESTED OUTSIDE 1026 N. BECKLEY

"…Due to his attempt to assassinate Lee Harvey Oswald on September 1 1960, a disturbed man (later identified as Diego Hargreeves, a Cuban exile) was arrested outside of 1026 N. Beckley…The man carried a multitude of knives on his person and bore several delusions about Mr Oswald assassinating President J. F. Kennedy and his relation to known billionaire & philanthropist, Sir Reginald Hargreeves…"

"Ms G. Olga stood in defence of the delusion man, stating that he had saved her from a mugger on her way from the grocery store…Sir Reginald Hargreeves declined to comment further…Simply stated that he did not know the man, nor had he ever seen him before in his life. No known connections can be found between the Cuban and the billionaire, beyond the name the Cuban has chosen to go by…"

"…Found to be delirious, Diego Hargreeves (30yrs) was then hospitalised in The Holbrook Sanitarium for the Nervous and Mental Diseases in Dallas, Texas…Sources say that he has continued to tell other patients and staff about Kennedy's future death, as well as his (supposed) relation to Sir Reginald Hargreeves…Which has lead to further hospitalisations…"

[PICTURED: DIEGO HARGREEVES, 30YRS]

"…The journey itself wasn't so bad, once you got used to the pinching, the pulling and the distorting of limbs…It's the aftereffects that REALLY strain you…Time travel is a crap shoot…there's no way of knowing HOW or WHEN you'll end up, nor in WHAT state…Old & grey in the body of a child or withered away with the mind of a child…Still, there are worse things"

—Pg 5, LA COMMISSION DU TEMPS ET DE L'SPACE HANDBOOK, The Founder

"…There are many towns in America with large populations filled with little green men…Little sweeties would have you believe they are harmless, but they are blinded by fantasy…It took countless years of suffering for politicians to admit to the horrors…In just one of these communities, thousands of children are still suffering from the contamination of these aliens…"

—THEY LIVE AMONG US, C. Cooper

"We were by no means the youngest in the battalion, nor the first to try that schtick, but people were hurting for numbers and they just needed cannon fodder to throw at the enemy…Sometimes I wish I didn't go…My brother doesn't know what I went through, how I mourn the boy I once was.

—Pg 6, FRANKLIN'S DIARY: THE WAR, F. Cooper

"In the words of my mother: Trust no one, always be alert, paint yourself the pretty flower with hidden thorns and make sure that no one can hurt you again, Little One"
