One at a time, they approached the weapon wall and armed themselves. From that moment on, everyone wore a sidearm.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cLorelei, we have to leave again.

He seems to be the donor of part of your DNA.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cRaguel or should I call you Father, what is the status of the Earth?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cThere is a worldwide plague that is killing many right now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cGreat we save it from scorching now the Lizards are releasing disease.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cAre we safe in here?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cYou are safe, we have the cures for their diseases?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cIs it safe for my wife and our baby?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cYou have a baby?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cYes, and you know my wife.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cRaguel you are alive?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cYes Lorelei, you look wonderful, and you are with child.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cYes, I am carrying Cristian\u2019s child.

So are the M\u2019s. Their weaponry is more advanced.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cGood Watcher, I had hoped they were here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cSo you were responsible for our protectors.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cActually I just drew the pictures, six of the people here plus Einstein and Hawking assembled them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cWatcher, is he linked to you?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cUpdate Raguel and the M\u2019s. Get updates from them on this timeline and the specs on the new E series as well\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cWorking on it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cRaguel how is the cafeteria?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">They all settled in for a meal and discussed many things. He told them about the attack and about the second version of themselves in the past. He told them about the Lizards and the scorched Earth. In the end, he ended up telling them the whole story, all the way back to when he found Watcher. All about Gold trading and Real Estate and Arthur and his Family. Then about the world wars that didn\u2019t happen. He told them about the slaughter of the Jews Protestants and Serbs, The Korean War, the Vietnam War, Desert Storm and every other conflict he could remember that didn\u2019t happen. Climate Change, The polar ice caps, the polar bears. All of it didn\u2019t happen, all due to some solar panels and batteries.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cAnd that is the whole story.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cIncredible Cristian, Lorelei and all this in a few months of travelling.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cRaguel we are not done, I plan to remove the infestation here on earth and destroying the Lizard homeworld before I am done.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cI see. How will that make you different from them?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cI am only finishing a fight they started, if I go back far enough I can save your world and all of your people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cI never considered that?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cI brought you back something.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cWhat did you bring, Cristian?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cThe Ascalon your ship renamed?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cI thought you might have a need for her.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cActually Raguel, Uriel, I just had an idea that might save everybody. What if you were to travel back to the Lizard&#8217;s home world in their prehistoric era with altered DNA that would keep them from becoming who they are now?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cThat might work if we had some DNA to work with.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cI have some? I have a Lizard hand in the Retribution. I will need the hand, but take a sample of the DNA. So why don\u2019t you do that, go to their past and be the DNA-fixing Aliens that you are and save our planets.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cWe can try.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cGood, we will go back and clean up their nest in case your part doesn&#8217;t work out. About the pandemic, how do we save the people of this timeline?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cWe can give you the vaccines to give to the scientists of the Alliance. We will give the time coordinates of patient Zero.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cWe will have to inoculate the both of you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cRaguel I need the cure for all the diseases of that timeline. The Lizard I interrogated mentioned a lot of them Ebola and EV-D38 and some others.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cTake the cures to the CDC in Atlanta. Tell Dr. Freeman you know about the Colorado outbreak. That will make him pay attention.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cLorelei, we have a stop to make on the way out?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cRaguel I will need some press id For Lorelei and myself\u00a0from Time magazine should do it\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cI will get M1 to get it ready\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cHow is that old boy?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cSee for yourself the M series are doing well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Out walked Alfred the butler and Harry Callahan. You two haven\u2019t changed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cCristian, you haven\u2019t aged a day since our last meeting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cWho do you serve?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cWe serve the Alliance, Cristian. The scientists here are members of the Alliance.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cI wondered where they came from.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">A familiar-looking cat wandered up and circled his leg. It was a calico with tabby markings. \u201cThat can\u2019t be.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cIt is Cristian, a direct descendant from Cali and Deakes. That is a male Calico, very rare in your time. Cats are a rarity in this timeline at all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cWhat is his name 1?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cScooter.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cPerfect name.\u201d Scooter jumped right into his lap, sat down and purred as a mad cat does.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cWe have 5 cats in the cave at the present moment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Cristian couldn\u2019t imagine a world without cats.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">After a visit with the cats, the time-travelling couple headed off to a past Atlanta, Georgia.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"western\"><p><a href=\"http:\/\/rodbinder.com\/tempusone\/chapter-33\/\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"517\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/rodbinder.com\/tempusone\/tempus-chapter-two\/prev\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rodbinder.com\/tempusone\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2016\/03\/prev.png?fit=95%2C20\" data-orig-size=\"95,20\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"prev\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rodbinder.com\/tempusone\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2016\/03\/prev.png?fit=95%2C20\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rodbinder.com\/tempusone\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2016\/03\/prev.png?fit=95%2C20\" class=\"size-full wp-image-517 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rodbinder.com\/tempusone\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2016\/03\/prev.png?resize=95%2C20\" alt=\"prev\" width=\"95\" height=\"20\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/rodbinder.com\/tempusone\/chapter-35\/\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"515\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/rodbinder.com\/tempusone\/tempus-chapter-one\/next\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rodbinder.com\/tempusone\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2016\/03\/next.png?fit=95%2C20\" data-orig-size=\"95,20\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"next\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rodbinder.com\/tempusone\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2016\/03\/next.png?fit=95%2C20\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rodbinder.com\/tempusone\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2016\/03\/next.png?fit=95%2C20\" class=\"size-full wp-image-515 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rodbinder.com\/tempusone\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2016\/03\/next.png?resize=95%2C20\" alt=\"next\" width=\"95\" height=\"20\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TEMPUS CHAPTER THIRTY FOUR &nbsp; &nbsp; Science can lift people out of poverty and cure disease.
