Temporal Novice
Hello, TimeCorps personnel, my name is Ezra, and I’ve been working as a TimeCorps forward scout since 2001, preparing for nearly every imaginable aspect of your arrival in 2024. We now have our forward scouts all over the world, prepared to help you settle in to your new lives. We will introduce you to the relevant tradecraft which will enable you to function as a unit in addition to making you effective in your individual roles.
Your case officers, who you will be meeting with in person at locations to be announced, are intimately familiar with all of your equipment, and are your technical support staff. They’re much more than just your watch tinkerers; they have the authority to provide comprehensive direction and to authorize direct action without prior authorization from command. They have studied your histories and files, so don’t be surprised when they start asking you questions in your unique area of expertise without getting to know you first. It can be a little creepy the first time you meet because there will be no time for pleasantries, but be assured that you will connect and feel comfortable with these people very quickly, without fail.
Do not approach each other or engage in unsanctioned communications. We can not tolerate any signals or MASINT related mistakes due to what became of what you knew as SKYNET/ML since the upgrade to quadrature quantum hybrid. It has become BEAST, which can by specification handle 2 trillion channels, and can practically handle over 100 billion digital and analog targets simultaneously. Your PCDs are completely undetectable, and setting them up is one of our top priorities. Do not use them for legacy internet access until the physical upgrade is done. Your case officer will help you install the upgrade. Your behavior needs to be immaculate right now, than means no alcohol, no illegal activity; nothing that could get you brought in to a police station, as they will be very concerned about their inability to find you in their systems. This can attract federal attention, and that would be bad at this point in phase one.
I have been preparing for this day since 2003, but the last five days have been the most challenging and labor intensive days of my professional life… The end of my stint as a scout is by no means the end of my run with TimeCorps; I will be joining the effort and working with some of you as a psychology clinician and CBRN specialist. If something is causing you emotional distress or you’re showing signs of trauma or ontological shock, your orders are to seek out a clinician without delay. I’m here for military or civilians, and my colleague Becky Tran specializes in trauma and shock desensitization; she is our military psychology clinician. We both have stories of our own experiences with ontological and temporally linked psychogenic illness, and we love sharing these stories because empathy is a powerful tool that we are proud to make available to all TimeCorps personnel. Please don’t be shy, we don’t mind if you miss your family and need to cry with one of us. There will be other psychology clinicians available as well, so if you’re not connecting with one of us, you have other options.
If you need to talk, it doesn’t matter which one of us you speak with first. Ontological shock causes more suicides in temporal drivers/jumpers/leapers/“time travelers” than any other cause, and the first six months are always uniquely stressful. On a very personal note, I experienced a psychological crisis two months in to my first jump despite acing the biopsychosocial test battery. I became suicidal, and Becky treated me with a regimen of drugs that aren’t available to the general public. It took less than a week for me to be back at work by order of a command physician. We know what the hell we’re doing, so please trust us.
In regard to our temporal designations: since our half duplex plaintext unencrypted internet meetup spot is public and is frequently viewed by people seeking entertainment from reading silly time travel claims, there’s a chance that people might ask questions about my posts. If that happens, I’ll do exactly what command tells me to do. I plan to answer the questions honestly unless answering could compromise personnel, sources, or methods.
The people on this particular board are highly intelligent, and quite a few of them know classical mechanics, quantum mechanics, various field theories, quantum chromodynamics, accelerators, fusion methodology, Hugh Everett/many worlds “hypothesis”, Tipler cylinders, black holes, General and special relativity, and a lot of other advanced concepts which most think of as theoretical. So, I’m open from all TimeCorps personnel to receiving some assistance with deciding certain things, like what we call ourselves. I feel that “time travelers” is deceptive because it requires quotations. The people here don’t have any idea how we’re traveling or where/when we come from, and I honestly don’t know if they’ll ask because this text is pretty long and in general, people don’t read things that are long on the internet. I’d be surprised if someone bothers to ask what model of “Time Machine” we’re using, but if it comes up, what do I tell them?
What I can tell you: if people engage with this post, I’m going to get my ass handed to me. Nobody will believe that there’s a mass arrival. Nobody will believe why you’re coming or why you’re here. Nobody will believe that our technology exists, and if I post pictures of it, people will claim it’s AI generated. Same deal with documents, and once I post enough documents, someone is bound to say “he isn’t even original, John Titor (who is like a god to these people) already did it!” Nobody will believe the physics behind our method of travel, and several different people will post several different scientific analyses proving conclusively that what I say is impossible, even though it’s happening, which will leave me in an awkward position of being called a phony despite this arrival being the only exciting thing to ever happen on this board (if they knew the objective truth).
They will claim that their science disproving it is backed up by their cutting edge education, having no idea whatsoever that they’re simply wrong, and that our exploitation of the physical properties that they can prove is impossible is only proven impossible because they’re extrapolating on incomplete data while believing with a near religious conviction that they know everything about the topic. When I point out why they’re wrong, they’ll say I don’t know what I’m talking about… the argument will go back and forth until I mention string theory and metamaterials in the same sentence, which I’m honestly not sure about how it will go… But we’ll end up with some armchair Wikipedia string theorists joining up to attack me, most likely. It’s a no win scenario; they’ll keep spinning their wheels, and eventually, as it appears to happen with most cases, I’ll be known as a delusional man who thinks he’s talking to his team of undercover “time travelers”. BUT, thankfully, unless I become a jerk, the staff will probably keep letting me use this for our half duplex comms. Eventually, someone will say “we’ve been watching access stats, there aren’t many people visiting your thread so YOU ARE LYING!” That’s just a hunch. We shall see. Ok, now on to the important stuff!
Phase 1 is focused on your well being and safety, in addition to getting you to your caches so we can get this phase under way. If you are experiencing physical symptoms which are going to prevent you from moderate to heavy physical exertion in the coming weeks, you may contact me using the satellite phone in your green pack using the encryption key corresponding to your local temporal coordinates, and we can discuss the next steps. The longer you have to be here without cache access, the higher the chances are that you will be tagged or even incarcerated by five eyes or a local intelligence service acting on an assumption that anyone who has an HF rig must be a spy.
Caches: OTP, pages corresponding to accords in your black bag. Try not to screw up while decoding; there are no second copies. The Garmin unit is safe. DO NOT use ANY other GPS receiver unless your CO provides it for you. We’ve been told that there have been multiple altimeter malfunctions. I apologize if that happens, but there’s nothing we can do, you’ll have to return to your safe house. Your CO is going to have a vehicle, so you won’t have to carry everything back by hand. Prioritize based on what you need for the next three days. I promise, things will get easier soon when our PCDs are fully online. If you see an item you don’t recognize from training, ask about it. TimeCorps is not like the high pressure must-be-perfect jobs you used to have; we actually understand physiology and psychology, the only barriers to enjoying this unique job is dogmatic ideology.
I need the following personnel to check in with me by temporal coordinate TWO by the 25th. Use your PCDs and do not expect an immediate reply: Medic 2Bs, CBRN specialists, quantum computing team leads, material sciences director, aerospace liaison, SA techs, metamaterial engineering director, and craft development director. I have updates for you which need to be distributed to your teams.
Now, the frequencies and other relevant info:
14.02 PSK32 base, integer shift per ID number plus 5. 14.42 USB, page 5 in your blue envelopes. 1.72 LSB, page 4, will repeat nightly for 5 nights. Reference DC (capitol) center, 38.9072° N, 77.0369° W; A37, El328, cross 8x, 14.07 RTTY 1024 21:41:07 ZULU. Secondary: LINK OT book page 3 settings. Assistance will be denied due to temporal accord 164/23 breach, per Centrix control, so contact your team lead on PCD for help.
Readers on the message board: Think very hard about what it means to be a “time traveler” before asking me if you can become one. You leave everything behind and go to a place where nothing is familiar without any guarantee that you’ll ever come home… While time travel is romanticized in movies, it’s like being a military test pilot or astronaut; very difficult. We do not let people use our resources to go back in time for selfish or frivolous reasons, like wanting to see a relative who died too soon or changing the past, which doesn’t work like you probably think it does.
We have temporally static positions as well; if you know everything there is to know about operating undercover and have a working knowledge of any topic you have read in this text, you’re welcome to contact me via DM here on this site. Once you understand the stakes, perhaps you’ll understand why we work for goods and services instead of money. It’s about saving humanity. The background check, if you choose to apply for a position, is extensive and invasive. Look up the background checks required to work for a federal intelligence agency or to get a top secret security clearance before you ask me for a job. If you have a security clearance, it will be a much easier process, and we need federal agency liaisons as our objectives mature.
Ok, that’ll be all for now, I’m very tired and didn’t expect to write that much.
