Anyways, while I was at a sort of meeting place for teenagers (because for reasons that would be too damn complicated to explain here), I ended up seeing The Time Traveller's Wife. And I thought: what if, in the near future of that movie's timeline, they were able to master the genetic anomaly that the guy possessed?
Obviously, it continued onwards. And then my mind came up with something: terrorists steal the formula for the gene and end up attempting to give history a good rape... however, they can't escape, because they got a prototype one-way-only form. That, or their moral code (terrorists with a moral code... oxymoronic) they are forbidden for travelling back. An elite group of soldiers, trained in the use of everything from laser cannons to spears made of tree branches, are sent in to stop the timeline from going FUBAR.
The formula of a mission would work like this:
At Tad-F (Timeline Anomaly Detector Facility, more often just called Tad), a timeline monitor picks up a POD (Point of Divergence) at a certain point in history. Tad quickly files this and reports it to the TDF (Temporal Defense Force), which could be anything, but most likely a multi-game-universe force which has everything from the hardest Ghost Recon soldiers to the freshest SAS recruits with the best opportunity. They would be outfitted, given HUDs, and the only present-day tech they'd be allowed to carry besides the HUDs are medical kits, because remember, they have a time travel gene, they just need to think.
In the film, the man would not have anything on his person: this would not be true, the gene would be modified so anything touching the person's body would time travel with them. They would have the ability to go anywhere, at any time, and they would have mastered it so well that they would only have a one nanosecond/meter error factor, meaning they basically end up where they want.
Unless they're equipped well enough to go there (which they usually aren't), they'll sometimes time travel right where the terrorist are, but usally, and for the sake of plot and challenge, they would go only a small distance from their objective.
Once there, they would either have to stop what the terrorists are doing and wipe all trace so that the timeline continues or completely prevent it. And they'd have anywhere from thirty minutes to two hours to do that, otherwise they must do all in their power to rectify the timeline.
Let's say that someone assassinates George W. Bush Jr. before he goes into office. Since the region would be America, the TDF squad sent would practically arm themselves with 2004-era American weapons tech, which meant M4s, M249s, Mossberg 590s, etc.
They would then time travel to roughly thirty minutes before the assassination, outside the local terrorist HQ. Once there, they'd immediately attack. Every terrorist has to die, and I mean EVERY SINGLE ONE. Just one of them escaping would end up f*cking the timeline so badly that we wouldn't exist.
Once done, they'd remove all evidence they were there, and then time travel back. Of course, they'd face setbacks, like having inappropriate pieces of technology, underestimating their opponent, etc.
Anyone like?
