aberrantangelsBoring Trinity Universe history stuff removed because you might be reading this post at a time when you want to stay awake.
On this day in 1999, Team Tomorrow saw active duty for the first time, with an all-out attack on the headquarters of a reified terrorist group called Islamic Dawn. The Team was triumphant within three minutes and sustained no damage.
In general, Islamic terrorism seems to have dropped off in the Trinity Universe for the first few years after N-Day, in large part because most Muslim novas were swarmed under by lynch-mobs of their co-religionists who view them as Iblis' spawn. (There will be an exception to this, but it hasn't emerged yet.) Thus, they had no real way of standing up to T2M and other organizations of novas. Also, the Schroer administration (whom I'll be discussing in their own time), unlike the real-worldPustch adsinistration Bush administration, presumably didn't ignore the outgoing Clinton team's warnings about al-Qaeda. This is probably one reason why, instead of September 11, the Trinity Universe got September 25.
(Of course, the one and only real-world reason for that last is that the period from N-Day to June 15, 2008, was mapped out in a book published in 1999, but I can have a lot of fun speculating on how certain predictions might have been brought to pass. Bob Schroer, for instance, is obviously a highly fictionalized John McCain, which leads me to extrapolate how exactly he was able to wrest the Republican nomination from George W. Bush and what followed thereafter. But as I say, I'll get to that.)

pottersues' use of it. I suspect it goes nicely with the TU posts for a lot of people's purposes.
