TP-A Wrinkle In Time

A straight line is not the shortest distance between two points.
Introduction xxxxxwho goes to staten island, anyway? History xxxxxsomewhere during the day on October 13, an odd telepathic anomaly swept the city. over nearly as soon as it had begun, it left very little trace in its wake -- except for in the holding cell of a staten island police station, where one somewhat inebriated mutant recently picked up on a drunk & disorderly had vanished, leaving in their place a small and highly unstable anomaly. xxxxxinitial investigations show this to be a rift between worlds -- a portal between this world and another... actually, very much like it. the general shape of life, for many people, looks much the same. xxxxxthere are some changes, though. trump was impeached and removed from office fairly early in his tenure. prez. pence is still a fascist, but more politely. likely, biden is about to beat him in the elections bc he has the personality of a wet dishrag. liberals are psyched, and eagerly awaiting a return to quiet brunches and only intermittently paying attention to the news. xxxxxnothing has fundamentally changed... except that a couple years back, in collaboration with the raid team, the story of prometheus broke to the world. it was huge news... for a cycle. a lot of outrage, horrors... until a series of Terrorist Incidents (some legit, some wholly fabricated/exaggerated by the cops) started turning the tide of public opinion before anything could be Done about the labs. instead of pushing to have them closed, a movement sprung up agitating that ALL mutants be forcibly registered and interred in the labs, with the explicit goal either of curing them (initial efforts have been less than successful at this, but the high body count on this project has not seemed to bother congress much) or harnessing whatever knowledge Science can glean from their powers. xxxxxthe u.s. mutant community has been decimated -- large swaths dead, the ones remaining alive largely either captured in the labs, in hiding, or on the run. global solidarity is iffy; the u.s. is still a domineering superpower and if the international community did not come down on them for imprisoning/trafficking/killing/sterilizing immigrants they aren't about to step it up for a bunch of nightmare freaks that, honestly, many people feel would be better off dead. the resistance is active and hard at work ferrying people out of the country or fighting back against this genocidal project. for most humans... life continues on as it always has.
