Another Time Machine!

There is deep concern within the Off World Office of Naval Security. Another time machine appeared in the navy yard. Fortunately the time traveler was apprehended. He only gives the name “Time Traveler” and has stated that no good comes of his arrest and that if not released at once irreparable harm will come to the time stream. He was given a sedative and a warm bed in the detention facility. The only item in his wallet of intrest was a picture of an attractive young woman named "Weena".

The machine is not functioning and the traveler states that he has the key hidden and without it his machine can not function. Security officers and technicians have poured over the machine and have noted some interesting characteristics of the hardware in this latest arrival that hold out the possible repair the current temporal distortion and perhaps open time tunnel operations to the future.

Navy security personnel are on the alert. Who knows how many more time machines will show up on our door step. Citizens of Off World should alert Naval Security if they run across another machine.

The Time Machine in the Off World Museum is not a reportable time ship.

Time Machine Appears

Apparently the Time Tunnel is not completely shut down. The strong temporal distortion field is still in place. A small time machine materialized in the Off World Navy Yard some time during the night in the single place not covered by surveillance cameras. A newspaper from Victorian England, specifically London, was in the glove compartment along with an over due gas bill for a Mr. H.G. Wells esq. The machine is holding in stasis and apparently Mr. Well has gone exploring. Anyone encountering Mr. Wells in any of the Off World Builds is encouraged to contact the Off World Office of Naval Security immediately.

B5 Inter-stellar Portal Operational (sort of)

The B5 inter-stellar portal is now completed and in place above Navy Headquarters. Vortex problems have yet to be resolved. Transport via the hyperspace tube is considered risky. The risky assessment is based on the fact that anything going through the device, to date, is not recoverable in its original configuration. The last probe probe was sent to the star 23BF17 and images came back through the tube but when the probe returned in came back in small metal cubes. While the probe was a complete write off the metal cubes made nice keep sakes for the staff.

Time Tunnel

The Off–World Navy Department recently discovered a number of visual disks stored in the “Tracy moon coupe". These visual records chronicle and depict, with a surprising degree detail, an operational” Time Tunnel". Navy engineers were able, through observation (suffering through really stupid commercials), to backward engineer a time travel device similar to the one shown. The power requirements are significant however it was thought that return on the investment would more than justify the cost. Unfortunately, the reengineered hardware is only capable of accessing the past. No visuals or travel to the future were obtained or occurred.

Findings related to these trips to the past show that this world has been barren of life for millennia. There was one notable exception when one of the Explorers encountered a multi-leg insect and in a disagreement killed it. Upon return to the future the traveler discovered that he did not have his credit cards and in fact had never own one.

The facility is no longer operational but is available for public inspection for those seeking examples of government waste.
