Centran Intervention

Centrum has intervened several
times, in increasingly sophisticated
ways, to try to move echoes “closer” to
Q8. It is clear that Centrum has some
method of predicting what sorts of
changes will produce the desired
effect.
However, Centrum’s predictions
are not infallible. In at least four time-
lines, massive Centran interventions
seemed to have had no effect at all;
these timelines appear to be “held in
place” by something other than their
similarity to Homeline (see Anchors,
p. 526).
If Centrum does manage to pull off
an intervention, the GM should decide
how long it takes to come into effect. A
shift may take hours or days to occur
– it is never instant – and the Centran
agents must stay in place throughout,
in order to protect their work! Even
then, it might be possible to reverse
the shift by counteracting the effects
of the intervention. As a result, once
Centrum manages to shift a Q6 time-
line to Q7 or Q8, Interworld agents
