Is William Shatner the real star of the Halloween movies?

 

About a month ago Da was shocked to discover that all of my gaming groups were not gaming, and that I had not role played in many weeks. That drought has finally ended. Monte ran another session of his Star Trek: Secret War campaign Saturday night. Kitty and Rusty were kind enough to relaunch hosting our weekly game session by providing a Memorial Day Weekend barbeque. 

 

From there, our characters reviewed our situation:  something has affected the timestream and desparetly needs fixing.  People remember being of different races and/or genders than they current possess.  Worse, the written history supports their current forms.  However, while 10% of the galaxy is suffering from this catastrophy, only six of us are missing a ten year block of memories.  Three of us six appear in a photograph dated to 2006, with the caption reading about a bar fight in Hong Kong, China, Earth.  Strangely enough, the three of us appear in yet again different species forms in the image.  The best Federation scientists seem to have traced the change to the timestream to this same year and plan to send us back to correct the timestream, recinding the temporal prime directive to achieve that goal (and that goal alone).

 

Upon further research, we discovered that the image has an imbedded logo for something called IKTV.  We were able to deduce that IKTV was some kind of local broadcast network and that the news image is actually a still from that broadcast.  Considering how many world wars have occurred since that time, it's not too surprising that we could find no data on that network. 

 

So as we prepared for the mission back through time, the head of our medical team decided to retire.  That caused Lt. Cmdr. Fiora to be promoted to lead medical officer.  Each of the six of us attuned to the Bajoran Orb of Time seem to be on the Federation fast track.  Almost as if the chi of the universe was smiling on us....
