We have a deadline.

No. Your friend is normal. But she removed the anomaly from where TEC would have found her, and she has changed the flow of time.

Their policy seems to be to deal with a disruption in the time flow within 48 hours. We have inside information, but our contact does not know field team policies.

My thoughts exactly.

So, what do we do?

I'm going to ask our friend that when he replies. I'll include the emails I sent too, cause I can see they don't really make much sense without my questions.

I don't know. My message said that our emails are not from future people. I emailed back just to clarify. My companion says she will not fix it because what she would have to do is something that no one would be able to do to someone they love. I asked them to clarify this, too. Someone has to die. You can't kill someone you love. Donna or Sophie. I'm not sure which one. And I have no idea how these emailers are involved.

TEC does not know anything about Donna. They simply know a person in her location has changed the flow of time. And when they come, they will find the signature on her, and will know that she is the one.

They will not care about her email correspondence.

Quote:

I see. So, what was the change any way? Why are there things telling us to 'Save Sophie'? Is she a target too?

Last message on page 23 says they're related to other 'anomalies' that have been removed.

I think Donna is the primary target right now. I've emailed her and let her know what I know. TEC doesn't care about Sophie right now

Quote:

Sophie is only safe so long as TEC has more important things to deal with.

Sophie is safe, while they are still trying to find Donna (well, someone in her location who screwed with time). That's what I got from it.

Ah, I missed that, lol. But I'm wondering why this "companion" refuses to help because it's "someone they love". Who else is involved? We only know Donna, Sophie, "T" and his kids?

Whatever happens now, Donna needs to know. We have approx 36/35 hours to come up with a plan to get them both out of there and in to a safe place.

All we can guess is that Donna has found a way to try to change what occurred when TEC came to remove the anomaly. Sophie did nothing wrong but be born with an inherent psychic and/or physiological tie to the time stream that is very rare, which registers as an anomaly to TEC.

THEY CANNOT SEE THE NUANCES OF THE WORKINGS.

We have said too much, but we have sent proper warnings to Donna.

This is all we can do.

We will not be in further contact with you.

That isn't good. Lets wait and see what they've said to Donna, if anything new. Unless there's something else you guys can think of doing?

Quote:

We are not part of TEC. Our email address was simply to call Donna's attention to us. We do have an inside source of information, but they communicate only with us.

They registered the disruption at 2:17am EST, when doing a last sweep before moving in. There are procedures to be followed, but they will take action by 2:17am EST on December 17th.

Whatever has happened, we have to tell Donna. It's one hell of a lot for her to digest, but she needs to know. If the 48 hours deadline is anything to go buy, we only have a further day to sort this whole mess out, as we moved the 'anomaly' yesterday.

Whatever happens now, Donna needs to know. We have approx 36/35 hours to come up with a plan to get them both out of there and in to a safe place.

I just got an email saying that even if they run, TEC will find them. There are two of them. One types politely; the other types in all caps and is very short with me.

2:17am? We got the blog post at 11:59pm last night. Sophie left before that. There's nothing on the blog or twitter for 2:17am, unless that's when Sophie actually arrived at T's house in Syracuse. That would be a really long trip, though...

Edit:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

It's all making sense now. Future Donna wanted us to save Sophie. I was thinking "Why didn't Future Donna see this coming?" and then I realized. We altered time. No Future Donna.

Yeah. Seems I'm cut off for the time being. I'm still watching the blog, have her tweets coming directly to my phone, as with my email. All I can think of is that we get as much out of them as we can right now, and compile it in to an organized and detailed format - so we know what we're working with, what to tell Donna, and have something to work off of.

But, less than 48 hours? FFS,if yesterday is anything like today - Donna won't be off work for what? three hours?

Just to point out, I left something in the quotes that shouldn't be there. I typed it before I got the reply. I'll go back and edit it in a mo.

If you read what our contact says, he says that's when they detected it, when making a final sweep. That's when they were going to move in and do whatever it is they do - they said that they don't actually know what happens out on the field.

Syracuse is 60 miles from Ithaca, from what I remember. A trip to Orlando from where I am - 250 miles or so - is like three hours with normal traffic flow. I don't think it took her two hours to get there.

I was just thinking this, too. If she works an 8-4 or whatever, she won't be home for a couple hours still. Not enough time. Even though the companions say "THERE IS TIME".

I've emailed Donna with what I know. I've also told her my work schedule for tonight and that Telos will update me when I get home from work. I told her she's in danger and we have about 48 hours to figure this out.

Edit:
Depends on the weather, Telos. We're talking upstate NY, right? Snowy/wintry conditions maybe? I know I wouldn't personally make a trip 60 miles away in bad weather just to get some R & R.
