So, I’m walking in the green, right, and these two cute guys popped out of this glass rectangular prism that was literally regurgitated by an energy field in the Earth - this is over by Stephens building.   On the top, in red letters, it said TELEPHONE.  Then, the one with the dark hair popped out and said “Whoa.”  And that’s when I realized.

“You’re Wyld Stallions!  Um.  Hi!”

Hi?  Hi?  I meet the greatest rock musicians of all time,  Wyld-effing-started-the-Utopia - Stallions, and all I can think to say is….”Hi?”  Except, I couldn’t at the time, for the life of me remember what their names are.  I mean, I never learn the names of band members.  Monarch says their names are Ted Theadore Logan and Bill S Preston Esquire.  Duh.  How did I forget?  I am soooo getting my chip checked.

So, like, I’m just staring at them with my mouth open, and then all the sudden, I get my sneezes.  I am too busy reveling in the glow of celebrities  .. . . and violently sneezing. . . . to be analyzing why a glass prism would be appearing at a high velocity right now. I know I didn’t cause it, at least - not at the moment I didn’t.   So, I’m sneezing and I’m like, holy crap it smells like Grayer and his funky smelling tachyons - so I pull out my particle analyzer, and sure enough, those tachyons are totally from the wrong time.

“You’re TIME LORDS????”

And then, I hear Bill S Preston say “Ya dialed the wrong number, Ted.”

And then….GET THIS

Ted says  “Bill, We could totally talk to the babe.”

TED THEADORE LOGAN CALLED ME A BABE!!!!!!!!!

Just when I stepped forward, Bill pulled him in the prism  and said “Sha, we should definately remember to do that later” and the structure dissapeared.

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I am kinda dissapointed that they did not stay to talk, and I’m really mad I didn’t get to look at their wonky old fashioned time machine, which I had thought was just their stage effect, but I GUESS NOT.  Anyway, I have a feeling I’ll run into them again.

Bethany Logan.  Bethany Spark-Logan.  Dr. Bethany Spark-Logan?  (OMG J/K LOLOLOLOL I would so keep my name LOLOL.)

BGA #1 (1 point)
1. Name of BGA: Resurrect Dr. Taggert
2. Type of BGA Group/fix
2a. If this is a group BGA, who is the lead? Me
3. Description: We are taking the recovered consciousness of the former Time Lord Dr. Taggert and implanting it into a new body as specified in her will - or whatever it is she tells me she wants.
4. Relevant stats or contacts: Hypertech Engineering, Medical Science, Computer Science
5. Are you expecting a reply? Yes – primarily success/failure
6. if this is a group bga, who else is involved? Dr. Spark, Dr. Sim, Jack
7. What GM(s) do you believe is in charge of this BGA? John Kammer
8. How many bga points have you spent on this already? None/New BGA

Slight problem with that BGA:  Bethany wants this to happen, because LeBeau scares her because of what he did to the Technosphere,  but out of character, I really like the drama being stuck with LeBeau.  So, if we help Taggart, I suggest some consequence of some kind - or some other crazy that she has that makes her a teacher (for Bethany) who is no better than LeBeau.

So BGAs 2 and 3 each fold one other goal into finding out more about the incomplete time travel component.

BGA #4(1points)
1. Name of BGA: Investigate Thread Memory Preservation Device
2. Type of BGA: Group/research
2a. If this is a group BGA, who is the lead? Dr. Smith
3. Description: In the words of Dr. Smith, “As another part of this effort, I am investigating whether it is possible to create a device or set of devices which can be placed in a thread facing imminent demise, to effectively store and preserve some part of the memory of the lost thread, in much the same way as we can currently store and preserve the energy of that thread.  I do not know if such a device is possible, but I am hopeful that it is.  My resources are somewhat limited, so if anyone is interested in assisting in the research, I would be thankful.”
Using existing hypertech, we can extract the grays from the dying and record their memories and personalities in a more permanent format, essentially creating a backup of a few people. This may even enable the salvation of a select few, as we can then bind their souls to their memory/personality matrices, then perhaps resurrect them in cloned bodies.
4. Relevant stats or contacts: Hypertech Engineering, Spirit Anchor (yes, I do have the Tech version. I researched it.)
5. Are you expecting a reply? Yes
6. if this is a group bga, who else is involved? Dr. Smith
7. What GM(s) do you believe is in charge of this BGA? Kammer?
8. How many bga points have you spent on this already? None/new BGA

Freebie Technosphere BGA

BGA #free(0 point)
1. Name of BGA: What is paradox?

2. Type of BGA experiment and research

3. Description: Find evidence of paradox.  When can it happen?  Greyer and Al do not believe in paradox.  Bud and I discussed that paradox might be elastic - more in a smaller amount of time between events, and less in a greater amount.  Dale belives that paradox is very real and dangerous.  Bethany will carry out this research despite the dangers in the research, but will take precautions so that all of her wild effects are identified as not being paradox (or is that what they are?) and that nobody gets to badly hurt.

5. Are you expecting a reply? Yes –GMs - It would be really cool if you could make a decision about this.  I realize that sometimes it is whatever is good for plot, but at least help Bethany sound like she knows what she’s talking about in game - and will give me something to talk about.  Thanks!
6. if this is a group bga, who else is involved? Greyer - If I can pin him down after we stomp around Detroit.  Contact Al/  Bud and continue to discuss this with them.

7. What GM(s) do you believe is in charge of this BGA? Addrienne, Kammer, Kirt, Andy, Mike Kun

8. How many bga points have you spent on this already? None/New BGA

So BGAs 2 and 3 each fold one other goal into finding out more about the incomplete time travel component.

FREE: Ongoing character development BGA

title:  Clone shopping!

description:  Bethany’s father insists that she have a plan B in case something happens - since her mother had had similar attitudes about being alive inside a computer - and she died, so Bethany and her father buy a Bethany clone.

GM: Adrienne/Kammer

Response: Not necessary - just letting you know.

BGA Free: Be a time lord.

this is just letting Kammer know that I am studying hard to be a time lord, hence the paradox research project.  Is there any way to enumerate any skills that I have now? (one of them being, so far, - send a small object like a note forward or backward through time.)

8. How many bga points have you spent on this already? 1 I think.

*Special - Andy - if you would like something to accidentally happen to Bethany Spark at the city of glass, that could be a fun thing for me to talk about at the next game.  (Reminder - she has frequently destructive random wild magic effects when she uses technomagic.)  I am willing to accept a negative bga response for this, but I do not want to sabatoge David’s BGA.  I don’t want to ruin anyone’s City of Glass BGA, but something strange could happen.  You don’t have to take this option.  I have already warned Thorne that if I accidentally end up near the gate, he could shoot me if he really wanted to, but that I would probably stasis field his bullets.

Also - if Cody wants to lead “Install the Erin board” then just tell Adrienne I said I was helping, but she already knows.  I’d only do it if Cody wanted to.
