Well done - are you up for more temporal changes/decisions for this month's challenge?

I liked the pacing of this, the way it went back and forth and how the pieces slowly fell into place. I knew there was trouble when the antenna was found and bigger trouble when the detective spun a dial on the side of what looked like a cell phone. At least there was nothing left behind afterward to alter the time line TOO tremendously much.
Author's Response: Thank you, I had a heck of a time getting it done but when I saw the theme I couldn't NOT enter. I love time travel. Oddly-I had no ending when I started. I just trusted that something would come to me. Shand and Torres usually bring something out, even if it isn't what I had in mind, so I just let them go and do their thing.

First of, really impressed by the way you made the story fit both the TrekBBS mystery challenge and the temporal mechanics challenge. Very inventive and providing a lot of fun. Once Reilly picked up the blue sucker looking thing, I figured things wouldn't end up too good - especially for Shand! I wonder does this explain all those mysterious self-combustion cases?
Of course, when Joe Torres and Shand are involved the story tends to be a rocker, lots of fun and lots of trouble. Some people are just magnets for this kind of thing. Some actively go looking for it. But this was a real fun read and a literal blast at the end. Good stuff Mistral.
Author's Response: Not as funny as they usually are but I'm glad you liked it. Underlying it all is a bit of darkness-they went on an assassination mission, basically. I'll be playing to their darker natures in future tales-but I'll still try to keep you laughing. Promise.
