Timedoctor

Lieutenant **Timedoctor**, sometimes referred to as just **Time**, was a member of Red Wood Industries (RWI). He was a scientifically-inclined person and specialized in researching and analyzing unknown technology, architecture, and more otherwise "alien" elements, hence his title of "Doctor".

## History

### Operation: Condor

In October of 2733, Timedoctor was an Ensign serving aboard the RWI *Serenity*. On October 5, the *Serenity* journeyed to Sobovis V to engage in a diplomatic meeting with the IMBER Corporation. However, the ship was attacked by an unknown enemy, and eventually boarded and captured by a faction with the tag "IGC". Most of the crew except for Time and a few others were killed; Time and the rest were imprisoned in a base on Sobovis V. Fortunately, he managed to secretly send a distress call, which was picked up back Admiral Jack Roberts and two other survivors of the *Serenity*, Lieutenants Hamish Lovegrove and Nathan, who were initially assigned to the diplomacy part of the mission. Roberts and the others snuck their way to the base, where they found Time as the only survivor remaining, and together they reclaimed the *Serenity* and escaped the base, hiding out at the crew's camp in the mountains.

Sometime after Operation: Condor, Time was promoted to Lieutenant, and befriended Admiral Roberts sometime between Operation: Condor and their next mission.

### Mission to Monus III

About three months after the war's end, Time was assigned to a strike team under Admiral Roberts' command. The crew journeyed to Monus III, an Earth-like planet where Roberts' former squad-mates, Finn and Castle, had founded the Dawnstar Salvage Corporation (DSC) and were being harassed by GDA remnant forces. Time piloted a Valkyrie-class Dropship carrying Lieutenant Collier, a soldier with whom Time became good friends. Alongside Lieutenants Tigz and NeoKuro, Admiral Roberts, and Captain Jonathan Hunter, the RWI team assisted DSC in repairing the former flagship of the Colonist Survivors, the CSS *Vengeance*, which had crashed on Monus III at the beginning of the war. Time helped design vehicles and defenses to fight off the GDA forces and make repair and salvage operations easier. Eventually, they were successful, and Time boarded the *Vengeance* and departed the planet with the rest of the RWI and DSC crew.

### Operation: Chrysaor

In February 2734, RWI launched Operation: Chrysaor, a mission to find a missing black-ops Daedalus-class Battleship, the RWI *Pegasus*, that had gone missing some time ago. Time once again joined Admiral Roberts, as well as Commander Craz, Captain Sam Reed, Collier, Tigz, and Castle, who had rejoined RWI after the events on Monus III. The operation was a success and the crew was able to find the *Pegasus* on the planet Agaris and bring it back to Icarus, RWI's capital world.

### Joint Expedition Task Force Mission

Around one year after the Green Drone War, RWI and its allies, Crazy North Logistics (CNL) and the Royal Coalition of Spatial Protection (RCSP), formed the Joint Expedition Task Force (JETF) to explore a sector of deep space, from which a mysterious signal of an ancient, long-dead civilization was being broadcasted. Lieutenant Time was commissioned for the expedition due to his expertise in unidentified technology and was assigned to the RWI landing team under expedition leader Admiral Roberts. Due to his interests and expertise in scientific analysis, he was issued a blue-colored science officer's suit and began using his "Doctor" title more frequently. However, the RWI *Prometheus*, the expedition ship carrying all the JETF forces, was attacked by a mysterious faction known as the Remnant immediately upon the JETF's arrival in the Chrome System, and in the chaos following the launch of the landing forces, Time's landing dropship was shot down and crashed on the surface of Chrome II, the source of the signal.

Time survived the crash, but the rest of the RWI personnel aboard the transport were killed. Some time after the crash, Remnant ground forces attacked the crash site. Fortunately, two V-203 fighter pilots, Commander Craz and his wingman, came across Time's shuttle and rescued him from the enemy troops. They repaired Time's dropship using parts from their downed fighters and traveled to a radar tower where Admiral Roberts, Captain Reed, and a few other crewmen were gathered to contact the *Prometheus* and locate the signal. A Remnant carrier and several gunships and squads of troops attacked the base, and Roberts and the rest of the team protected Time while he downloaded data and traced the origin point of the signal. Soon, they escaped the Remnant forces and fought their way to an ancient city, where the signal originated. Inside the city were many rooms of bizarre devices, including a system of teleporter devices scattered throughout the towers of the city. Time was assigned to study as much tech as he could during their stay at the city.

#### Battle of the Ancient City

A few weeks later, reinforcements from the other RWI landing team arrived at the city with Vulture-class Helicopters and supplies. However, they were soon followed by a large Remnant attack force. Time helped control the city's defenses and shot down several Remnant gunships and fighters. After the Remnant forces were driven off by RCSP forces led by Captain Tevin Myers, Time later helped salvage the crashed ships.

#### Project X-12 Emergency

In an effort to repair the *Prometheus*, Captain Steven Dawson activated the highly experimental and controversial Project X-12: a detachment of reprogrammed Green Drones leftover from the war designed to serve RWI. However, the drones went rogue and caused the *Prometheus* to crash on the planet. Twelve hours later, Admiral Roberts took Captain Reed, Captain Myers, Time, and a few others to investigate the crash. They fought through both X-12 drones and Remnant troops and made their way to the bridge, finding the crew missing. Time downloaded recent data from the *Prometheus*'s computers, then evacuated aboard Myers' ship with the rest of the crew.

#### Sending the Call for Help

Time then accompanied Roberts and Reed aboard an armored rover called the *Tempest* and ventured to an abandoned communication outpost and he helped Roberts broadcast a distress signal to RWI Command. Unfortunately, Roberts was not able to disclose the information contained in the message to Captain Myers and CNL leader Colonel Jorgen Larson, creating tension between the three factions.

While Roberts dealt with them, he dispatched Time and the rest of the troops to explore the newly-uncovered underground sector of the city. After Time managed to activate a large, spinning reactor core, the team was led further underground to a mysterious vault-like room containing a large, rectangular obelisk near-identical to the Artifact, which was a device built by the same civilization who built the city, who Time discovered were called "the First Ones". This discovery was quite worrying, as the Artifact was the device worshipped by the Green Drone Armada, who terrorized the galaxy during the Green Drone War and caused much death and destruction.

#### Reinforcements

RWI reinforcements soon arrived, commanded by Admiral Kieron Hask, who instructed the RWI portion of the JETF to strike at various Remnant staging areas around the planet. Time flew a Vulture during the subsequent battles, supporting the V-203 Fighters of Red Squadron from the reinforcing heli-carrier, the RWI *Olympus*, during the campaign. Time then helped defend the city against the Project X-12 drones, who were being controlled by the traitorous XO of the *Prometheus*, Commander Michael Lynch. Heavy damage was dealt to the city, disrupting several machines and other lab areas that Time was researching.

#### Mutiny of CNL

Soon after the attack, the Colonel Larson orchestrated a mutiny of all CNL personnel on the planet, and sabotaged many areas of the city, killing RWI marines in the process and damaging even more scientific objects. Time helped secure the city along with the other RWI troops, fighting against the CNL troops who were scrambling to evacuate the city. After pushing them back to the main hangar, Larson and several troops fled in a CNL dropship, leaving the fate of the JETF unknown.
