After a little help, President Lincoln saw Booth before Lincoln was assassinated, broke his arms, and then the police captured Booth. Lincoln was saved.

He was done here.

[Servant Corps]

Year: Unknown
Place: Agency Headquaters

Being a dispatcher is fun. I'm sure I'll be happy learning about different things that are going on here.

WARNING! WARNING! TIMESTREAM ALTERED BY [scrambled], LINCOLN WOUNDED BOOTH!

Lincoln Wounded Booth? What the? Never mind. I'll just document this down. Hopefully, one of the agents will in come to fix this up.

WARNING! WARNING! HIDENBURG DOES NOT EXPLODE! REPEAT! HIDENBURG DOES NOT EXPLODE!

Okay, okay, what they taught me in training? Oh yeah, document all the paradoxes that would occur due to the Hinderburg not being sabatoged and then---

WARNING! WARNING! STEGGY STOLEN FROM THE AGE OF THE DINOSAURS!

This is very serious. Stealing animals? What are they going to do? Take him to a zoo? Oh dear. What cruel people. Well, it doesn't seem to hurt the timestream that much, so I guess I'll...

oh and Hitler is dead

  Hitler's DEAD?!

...i didn't really think it was important...you know, it's just hitler

How did he die?

Sniper bullet to the head, at the 1936 Olympics. Rather unprofessional, but it did the job. Caused quite a stir. The SS just arrested a couple of nobodies while the real criminal got away.

  Open up the temporal emergency broadcast.

  Citizens, this is not a drill! Somebody has violated the Hitler Time Travel Exempetion Act. By violating this Act, you have caused many different paradoxes to littler the timestream, wiping out most of the 1940's in Big Holes (tm)! And paradoxes are bad! I am not angry, just disappointed in what you have done. Please, give up to the proper authorities and revert history to how it is...

That should scare the Time Traveller responsible for this. Computer, continue monitoring paradoxes.

WARNING! WARNING! FAKE PAINTING OF MONA LISA STOLEN RATHER THAN THROWN INTO WATER!

Move List:

September 14, 1949
Seoul, Seoul Korea
"In less than six months, I can guarantee you a zeppelin fleet unlike any the world has ever seen," Oliver declared, looking the South Korean diplomat in the eye.

"How?" the diplomat replied skeptically. "Even Western production levels would not be enough - you do not have enough factories either."

"Mister Ma, my business is not in building zeppelins. It's in building factories," Oliver replied. "We have a partnership with several zeppelin-part-producing companies, and the North Koreans boldness will not continue to grow as it has if you have an overwhelmingly powerful air force...."

June 25, 1950
Pyongyang, North Korea
Oliver grinned. He'd just finished a visit to himself, passing along a note regarding the Hindenburg. Now, everything was in place.

He'd taped the note and the photographs to the conference table of North Korea's leadership.
The note was a list of South Korea's air forces, zeppelin and otherwise.
The photographs were the proof that it wasn't a bluff.

Sincerely,
Olivier Coupe

He finished signing as his alias and withdrew his golden pocket watch, pushing a button and twisting a knob. He had so many things to do, and so much time to do them in....

[Xenomorph]

(OOC: Warning: some people might find this post distasteful.)

Time: 1936
Place: Berlin, Germany

A lone sniper sets up his equipment some distance away from the spot where, in a few moments, Adolf Hitler will formally open the 1936 Olympics.  There's an excellent line of site to the spot.  The sniper smiles.  Things could hardly be better.

A figure wearing a 1950s-style backpack of some sort materialises behind him.

The newcomer draws an Agency-issue stunner and says, "You cannot be allowed to do this."

"What?  Don't you understand?  Hitler was responsible for the deaths of millions.  What I do now will save so many-"

"And yet, there is a specific Law of Time regarding Hitler.  I can't allow you to continue.  No matter how distasteful it is."

With that, Walter pulls the trigger.

Time:A long, long time ago
Location:Not so far away

He went back. Way back. Ughhh...why did dino poop smell so much? That steggo looked like it was the one....and now it was his....

[Dragooble]

DISCLAIMER: some may find the following disturbing.

1865, fords theater
issac took a moment to mentally prepare himself for what he was about to do. taking the revolver off of what should have been Lincoln's assassin "why hello there Issac said to booth. Issac stole booth's gun and sneaked up to Lincoln's turret. a loud bang rung throughout the theater. Issac was taken to prison to serve out his sentence along with booth. upon getting out, he time traveled to his first night in prison. there he and his younger self made their escape erasing the older Issac from existence and making the young Issac the original. booth was left behind.

Time: April, 33 AD
Place: Rome, Europe
Mason walked out into the field. There he was, being lifted onto the crucifix. As the Roman raised the hammer to strike, he ran forward. He jumped and knocked over the cross. As Christ fell, he grabbed the Crown of Thorns off his head and ran off as confused and angry shouts were heard behind him.

Important Rule Clarification:

If there is a conflict between two cards, I will use a dice to decide who wins. The loser keeps his card.

[Dwarmin]

Time: unknown, possibly circa 65 million BCE
Place: uncertain

Dale had been watching Walter for a while. The man was quite resourceful, single-handedly catching a stegosaur with a temporal immobilization field. In no time at all, he had it packed up and shipped to places unknown-an valuable prize, that perhaps set him closer to whatever his ultimate goal was.

That’s what happened.

That never happened. A half a dozen men armed with agency stunners (temporal mercenaries was a nice term for them) faced him down-he wisely fled...leaving his prize to Dale. He had little difficulty securing the creature, and redirecting it to his home base.

Now on the issue of payment...he had to fix a few futures and right a few pasts. These men didn't exactly accept credit cards for thier service.

7 people have already sent in their orders. That was quick.

OOC: do you m ind changing the topic to "turn 2" or something? it's confusing...


Time: July 1945
Place: Somwhere near San Antonio, New Mexico

A weird metallic automobile suddenly appears going at a speed exceeding 140 kilometers per hour. It drives up to a large cyllidrical object (narrowly avoiding a collison), and stops. A man come out and tears out several wires out of it.
"That should do it" - he mutters to himslef -" There will be no cheating in our glorious invasion of Japan".
With that he claims back into his futuristic machine, and drives off tawards the nearest highway.

[Servant Corps]

I'm right now tired, so no turn will be posted, but everybody did send me orders.
