Keeping the Secret

Infinity and Centrum may be enemies, but there is
one thing they agree on: the secret of parachronic tech-
nology must remain their monopoly. An “outtimer” who
learns this secret – The Secret – must be hired, discred-
ited, or made to vanish.
It’s reasonable to expect highly trained Infinity per-
sonnel to keep the secret of parachronic travel; indeed,
operatives likely to contact outtimers have prepared
cover stories that fit local belief systems. If possible,
anything that might reveal The Secret will be explained
away as a mundane event – but if not, it’s better the
locals think they saw witches, fairies, or UFOs than get
any inkling that humans with advanced technology are
traveling across dimensions.
On the other hand, when a herd of tourists goes
charging off into a parallel, there’s a strong likelihood
that somebody will let something slip . . .
