Bath 2022 Mission

==Background==
On the morning of the 24th December 2022, a nativity service was being held in Saint Stephen's Church in Bath. 
==Infraction==
A bomb, detonated by Fran Grenouille, claimed the lives of 18 children and 31 adults, and causing injury to many others. 
==Mission Outline==
===First Mission===
Since there would be no time to disarm the bomb, a plan was made whereby devices capable of quantum shifting the bomb back to its point of origin would be deployed, with the intention of simultaneously preventing the infraction while also striking a blow against Fran.
While Zoey Hallett co-ordinated matters from a distance, Ethan kept watch outside the church while Hafiz and Iulya remained inside. At the appointed time of the bombing, Hafiz realised that the devices were not placed in the correct locations to successfully shift the bomb, and so she had no choice but to make a grab for the bomb and throw it into the middle of the church, where all the public were. While this seemed to them at first to be an act designed to kill them all, the devices worked and the bomb was sent back through time to its point of origin.
Meanwhile outside the church, Ethan was attacked by a balaclava-clad man (later revealed to be his own future self, possibly working for or with Fran), while a woman who was later identified as Bridget Stanton entered the church and filmed the whole thing.
The resulting panic was quelled through the use of modified EMPs that were later deployed by the Sweeper Team on all mobile phones used to record any images or videos of the incident inside the church, effectively deleting all digital evidence and therefore leaving only eyewitness accounts which would later be put down to shared mass hysteria.
===Second Mission===
It was later discovered that the bomb's point of origin was in fact on the steps of St Paul's cathedral in London, on the morning of 27th April 2023, where the Linearists were holding an anti-QIA rally which included footage of Hafiz throwing the bomb into the crowds within the church, despite the Sweeper Teams' countermeasures. The resulting blast was devastating, killing 23 people including Matthew Cross and Lucas Grant.
Ethan later recalled that he recognised the woman, Bridget Stanton, had been the one who had entered the church and filmed the footage used in the rally. Surmising that Bridget was in league with Fran, Enora sent Sarah and Carlos back into the mission to obtain Bridget's quantum signature so that they would be able to locate her; this mission was achieved without complications.
==Repercussions==
This mission and the bombing of St Paul's would have huge repercussions. In the short term, the Linearists and later Cameron Campbell would use the incidents to attempt a full shutdown of the London Hub, which included the temporary arrests of Ethan, Hafiz and Iulya. 
The devices used in the Bath mission would also later be deployed to defeat the Pariah that was sent to assassinate Amber Harvey, the British Prime Minister. ("Power") 
Later, Elijah Phelps would make a deal with DCI John Turner by providing him with evidence that Sarah (in the guise of Fran) was responsible for the bombing, which led to her arrest and incarceration in HMP Bronzefield. Much later, it would be revealed that Fran had staged the whole thing so that the team would send the bomb back and wipe out the Linearists, eventually sending Sarah to prison which would in turn pave the way for her Ascension.
