Hello everyone. It's been a long time since I've written anything on here but I have some news to share with you all.

Earlier this month, you might have seen my friend, Sherlock Holmes, advertise his services on the network. This is a follow-up post to let people know that our blog is now officially up and running.

Since I met Sherlock, I've written up about twenty of his cases. It started as a hobby and sort of became a profession. He complained about it a lot but it became a method for people to find us. Should you require his detective skills at any point, you can send us a direct message on the website or contact us on our communicators.

We are looking into a few things that have happened recently. That's about all I have to say at the moment but I'm not at work today, so I'm available to a chat and answer any questions.

[ yep, definitely not mentioning that he's another person affected by the age changing ailment. ]

I don't have a teleporter with sufficient range and precision to come get you, sorry.

No, it's fine. I was just cursing my shoddy luck. I can always find another way of getting there.

Teleportation is a surprisingly difficult problem. I seriously underestimated how much groundwork Dad and Uncle Doom had done back home to make it feasible.

I take it they didn't watch that much Star Trek?

Dad loves Star Trek. Uncle Doom...well, he probably knows it exists.

You don't have to slingshot around the Sun to time travel, by the way.

[stupid comics fact: Star Trek has crossed over with X-men. Twice.]

[ i love the mccoy panel and both of them being annoyed. what a weird crossover. ]

Really? It looked like fun. It kind of blows my mind that teleportation and time travel is a very real concept in some worlds.

Any time machine is also a teleporter, unless you want to end up in vacuum when you finish your jump. The Earth isn't exactly stationary, and neither is the Sun.

While I'm intellectually aware of the variety in the multiverse, universes whose physical laws don't allow that kind of thing seem very odd to me.

After reading that, I think I might stand back and let someone else volunteer to test a machine like that. Honestly I can't get wrap my head around it. How on Earth do you do it?
