Parachronic Laboratories

This is Infinity’s pure-research
organization, dedicated to improving
both parachronic technology and
Homeline’s understanding of the sci-
ence behind crosstime travel. Infinity
might ask agents of any of its organi-
zations to test prototype equipment
from “Paralabs.” When a traveler sur-
vives a new and devastating conveyor
accident, researchers from Paralabs
are in the middle of the investigation
. . . probably demanding that the vic-
tims do it all again, more slowly.
waste disposal, and research, these gov-
ernments maintain “colony” worlds on
permanent lease from Infinity.
For Infinity, the biggest problem
with governments is their incessant
“deniable” secret operations, as they
try to circumvent the limitations
Infinity places on them. Conveyors
can and are built secretly, and the
major powers undoubtedly have clan-
destine
parachronic
capabilities
intended for covert exploration,
weapon testing, outtime exploitation,
or even war. The I-Cops often run into
highly trained agents who they know
are from Homeline. Sometimes they
can even prove it.
Projectors can also be built secret-
ly, but no one seems to have done so
on Homeline yet – again, giving rise to
speculation that Infinity has detection
methods it isn’t revealing. So far, no
projector built off of Homeline has
worked.
