	~~== Rules and Conventions ==~~

	~~The GM expects a Posting Rate of perhaps 3 times a week. More is encouraged for RP purpose, but I'll try to pace things so tactical decisions don't drag.~~

	~~Respect our fellow players. Please advise if you have to disappear for a week or drop the game. Don't pick fights or insult each other. Don't take control of each other's characters.~~

	~~On the other hand, the game environment is your playground. I encourage creativity and ruthless manipulation of the game environs~~
	~~and innocent bystanders and supporting cast. The antagonists, alas, are for the most part under my control, though if you want a random mook to bash or spy to seduce feel free.~~

	~~Robert will do all the dice rolling. He won't cheat. Mostly. He for sure won't cheat for GMPCs -- they're expected to lose.~~

	~~==Clues==~~

	~~# Mister Smith knows there is something wrong with time; barriers prevent him from traveling forward past 2012 in his home dimension.~~
	~~# Everyman has been collecting a bizarre series of fortune cookie slips. All variations on "Save Time, Save the World."~~
	# Doctor Acuri, A brilliant albeit nutty friend of Everyman, Enigma and Cyper sent them packets of insane calculations -- this wasn't out of character for him. They seemed to be about the Mayan calendar which is a new obsession. Acuri is a Professor at Georgia Tech in Atlanta.
	# Metahuman Talent scouts seem to be more active recently. Cypher received an offer from an engineering recruiter, etc. There's a paranormal track at Dragon*con that seems to be generating a buzz in the "Crest" underground.
