			In shock news for Space City's favourite tour guide, Archivist Shiren recently announced his tour license may be revoked. The shock decsion comes after Stig took the T'Chell envoy on an impromptu tour of the VZones dimension.

			"I now see why Stig Redfin has become so corrupted by 21st century foibles," commented Shiren. "I think we will have to re-program him for the 31st as soon as possible!"

			====Immigration Tax Out!====
			'''Space City, 4 July 3046:''' Reflecting the spirit of a day long celebrated as one for independence, immigration taxes to the rest of the Orell System's open planets were today abolished by the Space City Council. Temporal Engineers worked overnight to rtevise entry protocols, enabling free access to the planets Harvax and Technos. "This is a significant blow for free travellers!" commented Councillor Jefferson.

			'''Nexus Time Link Excitement!'''
			<br>
			[[File:Fioname.jpg\|thumb\|Writer Fiona Avery]]
			Hopes are growing that a tenuous inter-temporal link with the 21st century organisation [https://web.archive.org/web/20001204153400/http://www.enterthenexus.com/ Nexus] may enable a visit by a famous SF actor to Space City this coming weekend, utilising time trawl technology.

			Among those known to have been at the Nexus event in Bristol in July 2000, according to ancient records, were the legendary Nicholas Courtney, who played the Brigadier in the recently-revived holodrama, Doctor Who ("After over 1000 years it was about time we gave it another try" acknowledged Space City Executive Holo Director Greg Dyke the Twenty-Eighth); and the famous starship commander, Chekov.

			T'Chell scientists believe Captain Chekov was making a trans-temporal journey of his own from the United Federation of Planets timeline during of the Nexus event. Why he appeared on 21st Century Earth Prime at this time is a mystery that may be answered this coming weekend.

			Some researchers still contend that Captain Chekov is not a real person but also an actor, as is Buffy the Vampire Slayer. However these researchers remain a minority voice.

			Any additional time trawl activity will not affect plans already in place to bring writer [https://renoproject.org/pub/VZones/VZSciFi/VZSciFi%20Main%20Site/InworldTranscripts/FionaAvery/July2000/averyev1.html Fiona Avery] (picture sourced from 22nd century religious icon) from the 21st century on Saturday 8 July.

			====Stig Arrested!====
			[[File:Stigman1.gif\|thumb\|Stig Redfin of the Ukrann]]
			'''Tuesday 11 July, Charan:''' [https://renoproject.org/pub/VZones/VZSciFi/VZSciFi%20Main%20Site/Universe/Stig/stig.html Stig Redfin] was arrested this weekend for breaching T'Chell Time Protocols.

			A shocked crowd of visiting artists watched in astonishment as Stig Redfin of the Ukrann, the popular Space City Tour Guide, was arrested by military officials.

			The arrest occurred after the Ukrann time jumped into the crowded Below Zero bar in the Cicely settlement, claiming he was being 'pursued' by angry time travellers from 21st century Earth.

			The time jump caused severe local distortion of forward time, causing drinks to last longer and conversation to slow to a crawl. A snow cricket match had to be abandoned because the game started to move too quickly.

			According to Redfin, the time travellers hailed from the Nexus convention where he had innocently revealed to Humans there that the television series Doctor Who would never be renewed in their timeline. Outraged, they tried to assault Redfin who time jumped to safety with the 'fans' in pursuit. These fans have not yet appeared anywhere in the Orell System however and it is feared they may have become lost.

			Redfin has refused to reveal why or how he was able to travel to the 21st century and this resulted in his arrest. Redfin's antics also disrupted the T'Chell timescoop of author Fiona Avery, causing her to appear one hour later than planned for a carefully organized event in the Space City Conference Room.

			Military commander Mackie commented: "Who knows what other affects this time jump may cause? He could have crashed computer systems across three centuries!"

			Radian felt sure he would be released in time for his usual Space City tour on Thursday at 9.00am VZT.

			====Time Storm wreaks havoc!====
			[[File:Shirenman1.gif\|thumb\|Archivist Shiren of the T'Chell]]
			'''Space City, 18 July 3046:''' T'Chell scientists continue to work around the clock to restore normalacy to the local time stream after a quantum event corrupted reality throughout the Orell System.

			The time storm began shortly after Stig Redfin of the Ukrann illegally used what is believed to have been an ancient Chi'kkren time travel device to vist the 21st century. However, Archivist Shiren feels that this one event is not responsible for the major temporal collapse now being experienced. He told our news team that there had been reports of Luddite terrorist sightings in the depths of the articficial planet [https://renoproject.org/pub/VZones/VZSciFi/VZSciFi%20Main%20Site/Universe/Planets/technosinfo.html Technos], and it was feared they might have accidentally activated some unknown Chi'kkren device that initiated the current crisis. All access to Technos is currently impossible.

			While all normal passage of time is almost suspended, the T'Chell fear the reality may significantly warp and our timeline might even be destroyed, removing all trace of the Orell System from the universe.

			"It is impossible to say for certain what will happen," Engineer Gheran told us. "There are simply too many variables."

			Part of the crisis has been blamed on the disappearance of all temporal engineers from the Orell System, severely hampering research and possible rescue plans. "It's as if they never were," muttered Space Commander Mackie, shortly before his head vanished in an alarming display of the effects of the temporal storm.

			Space City News will continue to keep you updated on the situation as long as we can -- or exist...

			====Temporal Disaster: Time Guardians Save our Continuum====
			[[File:Stigman1.gif\|thumb\|Stig Redfin celebrates his release]]
			'''Space City, 25 July 3046:''' Extra-dimensional beings known only as the Time Guardians suddenly appeared on the planet Technos yesterday and promptly restored order to our ravaged time stream.

			All systems are now functioning perfectly and normal time flow has resumed.

			Sentients thought lost in the time storm have reappeared as suddenly as they vanished, much to the relief of those nearest and dearest to them. Travel between planets via the Expressways has resumed, although Aqua, Vulka and Charan continue to remain off limits for a variety of domestic reasons.

			The Time Guardians are a little known extra-dimensional agency committed to maintaining temporal equlibrium "in our aspect of the multiverse," claimed the Guardian known only as 'W'. Together with fellow Guardians T, A and S the damage caused by what now appears to have certainly been caused by the theft of an ancient Chi'kkren temporal device by Ludditie extremists has been undone.

			In an apology to Stig Redfin of the Ukrann, who had originally been accused of initiating the time storm that has ravaged our solar system for just over two weeks, Space City Council also paid tribute to the Guardians' intervention. The Guardians have now returned to their normal dimension.

			The stresses caused to the space-time fabric by the time storm will mean a delay to the resumption of T'Chell 'time-trawl' events for a number of weeks. These events previously brough famous creators from the 21st century to meet avid fans here in the 31st, including artist Steve Conley and authors Fiona Avery, Mary Gentle and Yvonne Navarro. Further announcements and additional reports on the time storm will follow soon.

			Meanwhile, in the words of Stig Redfin, released from a Charanian prison cell yesterday: "It's good to be back!"

			'''Space City, Friday 16 June 3046:''' Kymerian diplomats successfully negotiated with the T'Chell for the release of their captive Googah late last week.

			The Googah, who had been placed in telepath harness and forced to tell terrible jokes to vsiting tourists on Harvax, are now safely on their way back to their native home on Kymer.
