Heather Hart

Heather was born in 2120 as Dexa Karsyn.  Her teen years were during the 14th revival of fashion trends that started in the 1980’s, and she had deeply romanticized the aesthetic.  She had dreamed of becoming a famous musician as a teen, but by her era it had become so laughably easy to make music with a professional level of polish that the market was utterly fragmented and virtually every creator was interchangeable and disposable. So, she buckled down, passed her exams and pursued a reasonable, dependable career path.  As an adult in the year 2142, Grade 4 Bureaucrat Dexa Karsyn was bored to tears by her tedious job working in admin for the International Temporal Law Enforcement Agency. Eventually, she began to hatch a plan.

It wouldn’t be so hard - just request one more travel pass than was required for the weekly batch, a minor error. Reserve a transport room with a maintenance code. Binge on old movies to master the slang. Pack her favorite outfits from high school, replicate a few thousand dollars in historic currency, some fake identification, and a songbook of the biggest hits from the last century.  Put in her notice, then disappear to the Los Angeles of the past, a time back before California fell into the ocean.

And it worked!  It took less than a year for “Heather Hart” to become a celebrity.  And she had always harbored bizarrely regressive ideas about gender, so the sexism was actually kind of refreshing.  Heather invested the bulk of her concert earnings in Apex Vector, which she knew was a safe bet because it had still been flourishing in 2142.  Not only that, she had started dating RJ Cool, international playboy and ward of Apex Vector CEO Raleigh Kane. Another Apex Vector investor, Dustin Vance, has been wooing her in a different way - he’s been wining and dining Heather to get her on board with his plans for a corporate coup, telling her that an eccentric creator like Raleigh should be off puttering around in development, and leave the decisions that affect her profits to businessmen like him, who understand how to maximize income.  Heather hadn’t decided whether or not Vance is full of hot air, but she’s enjoyed his attempts to curry her favor.

Everything was honestly going perfectly until she walked into the party tonight and recognized a familiar face. It was Aeon Osiris, one of the new time cop cadets she had been training, just weeks before she made her escape.  Heather was sure she was busted, but then he introduced himself as though they had never met? She realized he looked older than when she had seen him last. Was he toying with her? Or is there another target? Unauthorized time travel is already extremely serious, but Heather knows that disseminating human-made designs in the past is a paradox offense, punishable by erasure from the timestream. If this time cop brings her back and she is found guilty, she won’t be dead - she’ll just straight up cease to exist. As the party continues, Heather considers how to protect herself from this terrifying fate.
