**David Sussman** is one of Max's fellow trainees at St Mary's. He along with Max and Kevin Grant are the only ones from their group to qualify as fully fledged historians. He is described as being tall with dark hair, a thin face with a long nose and dark eyes that give nothing away.

Sussman isn't widely liked; multiple people at St Mary's warn Max about his cocky behaviour. Nevertheless, she gets stuck with him as a partner when asked to pair up and tries to make the most of it. She regards him as a good friend despite his smug attitude.

## Biography

After a lengthy training during which he practically didn't need to study, and the deaths and departures of most of the other previously qualified historians, Sussman is chosen by Dr Bairstow to go to the Cretaceous Period alongside Max. The two of them prepare vigorously for months, preparing everything from simply surviving their three month stay to how to make a good star chart. He even goes out of his way to ensure the two of them can bring a bit of the Cretaceous back with them by virtue of a holographic film of a local watering hole.

All goes well during their mission until day 74, when he reveals his true, disgusting colours by sexually assaulting Max while she sleeps and capturing his misdeed on video. She wakes up fairly quickly, spraying Sussman all over with her dinosaur grade pepper spray and banishing him from their shared pod, making sure she's the only one that can open the now locked door. Sussman pleads with Max to go back to the way it was before the assault, making apologies and telling her it was all a big mistake.

Later that day, Max tells him the two of them will do exactly what they were supposed to do that day and to prepare to explore the nothern part of their parameter. His vile nature once again comes to light when he hits her over the head with a rock, causing her to fall into the foliage below and getting stuck beneath a tree trunk.

Clive Ronan shows up and berates him for what he's done, sticks a knife in his leg and leaves him to be torn apart by Deinonychus, effectively killing him. Subsequent footage of his conversation with Ronan shows he was likely affiliated with the villain, and would have probably assaulted and killed Max anyway late in their mission to strike up all the credit or because Ronan had offered him a large sum of money.

Sussman is given a funeral and his name is put on the board despite only one of his feet being the only remains of his to reach St Mary's. Once the holo is finished, Max tells Isabella Barclay to make sure he is credited for making it.
Mary Schiller

**Mary Schiller** was a senior historian at St Mary's along with Greta Van Owen, and worked closely with Mr Clerk, Tim Peterson, and Madeleine Maxwell.

Mary was part of several assignments during her time at St Mary's, including the ones on Mary Stuart, the Library of Alexandria, the Great Exhibition, and the Great Fire of London. She was in a relationship with fellow historian Greta Van Owen until her death in the Great Fire of London at the hands of Clive Ronan and Isabella Barclay. The two villains shot her execution style, then stuffed her in the emptied out artifact box at St Mary's in the seventeenth century. Her decayed body was unearthed during the 'discovery' phase of the salvage operation, to the shock of the attendees.

Greta Van Owen avenged her death by emptying an entire magazine into Isabella Barclay during the infamous St Mary's Open Day.

Denise Turner (Earth 010)

Original

**Denise Turner** (デニス・ターナー, *Denisu tānā*?) is the mother of Baxter Ewers, Amber Ewers, Gunther Ewers, Wanda Ewers, Kiki Ewers and the other Bloodlines in Real Life. She also trained both Baxter and Gunther, while Amber was already trained from her home planet.

The Real reason why she gave birth to a total of 21 was because Ballard continuously kept raping her without her permission many times in a row, which she was trapped in "hell" with him for a long while and getting rid of many Ewers Family members (except for Baxter Ewers and Gunther Ewers). She tried to divorce him so many times, but Ballard threatened her life if she did divorce.

She managed to finally divorce in June of 2006 after she finally called the police on him which caused for his arrest.
A Perfect Storm

A Perfect Storm

**Summary**

*You don’t have to travel through time to experience catastrophe on an epic scale, as the disaster-magnets from St Mary’s are about to find out…*

*For Max, what starts off as a perfectly normal week is about to degenerate into a quagmire of egotistical film producers, monumental pub crawls, unsigned contracts, exploding rocks, Professor Rapson and his megaphone, the world’s biggest bacon butty – and Angus – the third component of the most notorious love triangle since Menelaus, Paris and Whatshername – the one with the face they launched ships off. A Perfect Storm of calamity, devastation and misfortune only ever encountered at St Mary’s.*

**Spoiler Plot Summary for short story A Perfect Storm (APS)**

* It's mentioned that David Sands has written several successful thrillers, but now has written a time travel novel, and Dr. Bairstow wants it squashed
* The producer of the terrible period movies that often use St. Mary's tireless research and wardrobe departments come for a visit.
* He's very rude.
* R&D try to blow up boulders
* The producer gets Sands' manuscript and wants to make it into a movie
* Dr. Bairstow calls off stopping the book, because books made into movies are never read.
Rutherford

**Rutherford** is one of the trainees who joined at the same time as Max. He is described as looking as big and blunt as a rugby player. While he works at St Mary’s he is partnered with Mr Stevens as the pair of them seem to hit it off. Unfortunately, Rutherford never completes the training program, as he breaks his leg one day and is never seen again. It is rumoured that he has accepted a job at Thirsk as a post-grad assistant.

**Annie Bessant** was an Historian at St Mary's and possible love interest of Dr Bairstow and/or Ronan. It is her capture and subsequent infection that lead to a massive falling out between her two colleagues and friends, and later results in an all-out war between Ronan and St Mary's.
St Mary's Novels

This is where it all started, and where the heart of the series is spread over every page as thickly as one would put clotted cream on a scone. If you're looking for St Mary's Short Stories or the Time Police Series, you'll have to peruse The Library a little further. Or you could ask Dr Dowson, but we're pretty sure he's up in R&D arguing with Professor Rapson again. Something about rusty grass. Don't ask.

**Evan** was an historian at the future St Mary's, being the only one to survive Clive Ronan's thugs' rape, torture and murder of thirteen of his colleagues during the battle with Max, Peterson and Major Guthrie. In the aftermath of the battle, he was promoted to Senior Historian and helped Peterson turn the trainees into fully fledged historians.

At Dr Knox's trial, he stood up to defend Knox, but was quickly and swiftly dealt with by Mrs Partridge. Suddenly it was very clear he'd been working with Knox and Ronan, and colluded with them in the killing of his friends and colleagues. He was executed by Pinky alongside his former Director in an icy, snow covered landscape somewhere along the timeline.

### Synopsis

*It's Christmas Eve at St Mary's, And all through the house, Nothing is stirring … Except for Max, Peterson, and Markham, sneaking out at midnight for an assignment that is very definitely off the books. It's ten years ago tonight that Senior Historians Bashford and Grey went missing in twelfth-century Jerusalem. So how did they end up in AD60 Roman Colchester? Max has a theory. Peterson has a plan. Markham has bacon sandwiches. Colchester has Boudicca and her bloodthirsty Iceni hordes. And then there's the giant pig … the enraged giant pig …*

### Plot Summary

Max is awoken by Mrs Partridge - though Kleio, Muse of History might be more appropriate on this occasion - who takes her to see what happened on Christmas Eve ten years ago. Two historians get ready for a jump. They're Tom Bashford and Elspeth Grey, the latter of whom is looking very affectionately at a much younger Major Ian Guthrie. Max knows this jump; it'll be their last because Ronan will ambush them, most likely kill them, and get away with their pod.

After Christmas Past, it's time for Christmas Present. Kleio takes Max to see the annual Christmas lunch at St Mary's, during which Guthrie is alone and about to commit suicide on the tenth anniversary of his lover's disappearance. Max is tasked with preventing this from happening any way she knows how, which is to say, she's going to steal Bashford and Grey's pod in the middle of the night with Markham and Peterson, jump to the set of coordinates used directly after their last jump, and try to rescue them.

Things are dire in AD60 Roman Colchester, with Boudicca's imminent victory over the Romans in a fiery blaze of glory. Max, Markham and Peterson see the troubled historians get thrown out of their pod by Ronan, who promptly jumps away, and after a short wrestle with some looters, a giant pig and Boudicca herself, they get them back to the pod.

Back at St Mary's, Leon is trying by god to keep Guthrie alive, and it's working quite well. Max calls Guthrie for an emergency in Sick Bay, to which he comes running somewhat reluctantly before setting eyes on Grey. All is well at St Mary's once again.
The Battersea Barricades

It's the time of the Civil Uprisings and two young women set out to make a difference. Their only problem? They don't know where they are. Or where they're going. Or what to do when they get there. Other than that ...*

**Spoiler Plot Summary for the short story The Battersea Barricades (BB)**

* It's St. George's Day, and Max discovers that Mrs. Enderby, Shaw, and Mack, and Dr. Bairstow annually gather to reminisce about their experiences in the Civil War.

**Colonel Albay** was the head of the Time Police, a cruel organization that ruthlessly scrutinizes the timeline for anomalies. Max meets him in the current timeline when she's quarantined after jumping around history, chased by his organization, and cut open by Chief Farrell who tried to remove her tag. He is calm, ruthless, and makes everyone around him extremely uncomfortable.

**David Sands** is an historian at St Mary's in the current timeline. He is described as the keeper of the world's worst collection of knock-knock jokes.

In the original timeline, he was in a road accident which confined him to a wheelchair and left him slowly dying. Mrs Partridge suggested to Max that he become her PA. The interview did not take long since Max immediately recognized his talents, and he was hired. Shortly after the Troy assignment, he died from the wounds inflicted upon him by the accident, using his last words to tell Max to make up with Leon.

In the current timeline, he is warned by Max not to go into town on the day of his supposed accident, thus avoiding getting hurt in the process. He stays an historian, but is seriously maimed in the Battle of St Mary's, losing part of his lower leg. Professor Rapson fits him with a bionic leg and a duck-billed cane with a built-in taser and alcoholic drink-dispenser.

My Name is Markham

My Name is Markham

**Summary**

*Like a smaller and much scruffier Greta Garbo – finally – Markham speaks!*

*It’s Christmas and time for the first (and almost certainly last) St Mary’s Annual Children’s Christmas Party – attendance compulsory, by order of Dr Bairstow. Discovered practising his illegal reindeer dance and poo-dropping routine, our hero, along with fellow disaster-magnets Peterson and Maxwell, is despatched to Anglo-Saxon England to discover the truth about Alfred and the cakes.*

*In his own words, our hero reveals Major Guthrie’s six-point guide to a successful assignment and the Security Section’s true opinion of the History Department. And of historians in general. And of one historian in particular.*

*And, just to be clear, it is time travel, for God’s sake. Forget all that pretentious ‘investigating major historical events in contemporary time’ rubbish.*

*This is history without the capital ‘H’. Because this is the way the Security Section rolls!*
When Did You Last See Your Father?

***A Chronicles of St Mary's short story that is sure to entertain with bonus stories 'Desiccated Water' and 'Markham and the Anal Probing'.***

'Max, your father is here. He's come to take Matthew away.'

Have you ever wondered what would happen if Max's husband met Max's father? What would Leon do?

They're normally a fairly amiable bunch, but this is the story of what to expect if St Mary's doesn't like someone. As in, really doesn't like someone. Warning: contains a unit-wide criminal enterprise, a great deal of illegal activity and a sad misuse of public resources. All the things a father will do to protect his family.

It is also a story of revenge. Because this is payback - St Mary's style.

*Desiccated Water:* Professor Rapson breaks astonishing new ground with his latest feat of scientific invention.

*Markham and the Anal Probing:* When Markham disappears in the middle of nowhere, Max jumps to the only logical conculsion: alien abduction.

**Spoiler Plot Summary for When Did You Last See Your Father? (WDYLSYF)**

* The story is told by Leon Farrell. It starts with a review of his past (in the future) and the loss of his first family.
* Max's father (not biological) acuses Max of being unfit for Motherhood and seeks possession of Matthew. He is a renouned surgeon with powerful associates.
* Given that Matthew was born about 16 months ago and is now about 6 years old, a big explanation would be needed.
* In modern day times, Max's father meets with Dr. Bairstow and Max at St. Mary's. Mrs. Partridge serves the tea.
* Meanwhile, Max's friends are up to their cleaver tricks and plots to send Dr. Maxwell (the dad, not the historian) away from St. Mary's forever.
* Leon and Tim Peterson follow Dr. Maxwell once he leaves St. Mary's to ensure that all the pieces set up fall into place as designed.
* It is suspected that Clive Ronan is the instigator behind this sudden grandfatherly act.

Aside from her popular Chronicles of St Mary's series, **Jodi Taylor** has also written a series of novels about a certain Team Weird of the Time Police. If you're looking for St Mary's Novels or St Mary's Short Stories, you'll have to peruse The Library a little further. Or you could ask Dr Dowson, but we're pretty sure he's up in R&D arguing with Professor Rapson again. Something about rusty grass. Don't ask.

Chronicles of St Mary’s Wiki

**Welcome to the the Chronicles of St Mary’s Wiki!**

If you've recently found yourself tumbling down a rabbit hole consisting of Jodi Taylor novels, short stories, and blog posts, then you've finally smacked face-first on the right doorstep. Come right in, grab a cuppa, and watch the world burn with us. This is going to be fun!

### **The Chronicles of St Mary's**

Behind the seemingly innocuous façade of St Mary’s Institute of Historical Research, a different kind of academic work is taking place. Just don’t call it time travel - these historians 'investigate major historical events in contemporary time.' And they aren’t your harmless eccentrics either; a more accurate description, as they ricochet around history, might be unintentional disaster-magnets.

### **The Time Police Series**

At some time in the future, the secret of time-travel became available to all. Chaos ensued as people sought to take advantage. Because there will always be nutters who want to change history...

And so the Time Police were formed. Internationally sanctioned thugs whose task it was to keep the timeline straight by any and all means possible. And they succeeded. The Time Wars are over. The Time Police won. But who will win the peace?

An Argumentation of Historians

An Argumentation of Historians

*They say you shouldn't push your luck. Max gives her own luck a massive shove every day and it's only a matter of time until luck pushes back... January 1536 - the day of Henry VIII's infamous jousting accident. Historians from St Mary's are there in force, recording and documenting. And, arguing -obviously. A chance meeting between Max and the Time Police leads to a plan of action. And, it's one that will have very serious consequences especially for Max. Her private life is already more than a little rocky. But with Leon recovering and Matthew safe in the future there will never be a better opportunity to bring down Clive Ronan, once and for all. From Tudor England to the burning city of Persepolis - and from a medieval siege to a very nasty case of 19th century incarceration - Max is determined that this time, he will not escape.*

**Dr Edward G. Bairstow** (BA, MA, PHD, FRHS) is the founder and director of St Mary's in the present day. He is described as tall, authoratative, and in his early 50s. His past is in the future and his future is all over the timeline, but he makes it work just as well. He comes to act as a kind of fatherly figure to Max during her time at St Mary's, even walking her down the aisle at her wedding.

## Biography

### Pre Paradox

Some time in the future, Bairstow joins St Mary's Institute of Historical Research and qualifies as a historian alongside Clive Ronan and Annie Bessant. The three of them worked so well together that others started calling them the dream team, but that all changed on an assignment to observe England under James VI. Bessant gets caught, and Bairstow and Ronan dive head first into a rescue operation, recovering their colleague with only a broken arm, a concussion and an unknown infection. An argument ensues over Bessant's treatment, resulting in Ronan shooting Bairstow in the leg and abandoning him in sixteenth century England.

He is eventually rescued and brought back to St Mary's. His reappearance exposes Ronan's blatant lie about his death, who subsequently flees to Hawking Hangar with Annie in tow. Annie won't go with him and gets caught in the crossfire while Ronan steals pod nine and departs to an unknown place in an unknown time.

Bairstow meets Leon Farrell - who was not actually called Leon Farrell at that time - in a bar and picks a fight with him; the two take it outside and Bairstow hammers seven bells out of the young technician, then proceeds to take him to St Mary's where Farrell is offered a special job. The two become friends and soon receive a special assignment that sends them back in time separately. Bairstow's main focus is to pretend to have invented time travel and set up St Mary's. Some years later an unchanged Farrell arrives as well, and the two are reunited in their secretive quest. This assignment has created a paradox around the invention of time travel, with the actual inventor remaining unknown in the current timeline.

He would often nip downstairs to warn the librarians of corrosive stuff leaking through the ceiling of the Library.

Hope for the Best

***You can't change History. History doesn't like it. There are always consequences.***

Max is no stranger to taking matters into her own hands. Especially when she's had A Brilliant Idea. Yes, it will mean breaking a few rules, but - as Max always says - they're not her rules.

Seconded to the Time Police to join in the hunt for the renegade Clive Ronan, Max is a long way from St Mary's. But life in the future does have its plus points - although not for long.

A problem with the Time Map reveals chaos in the 16th century and the wrong Tudor queen on the throne. History has gone rogue, there's a St Mary's team right in the firing line and Max must step up.

You know what they say. Hope for the best. But plan for the worst.

**Spoiler Plot Summary for Hope for the Best (HFTB)**

* Starts with both Max and Leon recovering from injuries and Mathew going to school at the Time Police. Mentions Mathew's drawing of the time map. Max makes it quite clear she has a plan to take care of the threat of Clive Ronan and many people at St. Mary's and in the Time Police are in on it.
* By chapter four, she's seconded to the Time Police.
* Mathew discovers a mistake in the Time Map, because he has a Mysterious Connection to it.
* With Time Police, she goes to 19 Aug 1588 London, where they find a panic and Lady Jane Grey queen. They team up with St. Mary's, then split up to go directly to 1553 and 1554 to fix the timeline.
* She takes pod alone to St. Mary's present day to find it empty except for Halcombe, who has taken over St. Mary's, with governmental blessing, and has a few staff as prisoners. He makes her jump with Miss North to Jerusalem 33AD (a forbidden jump) and Max decides to kill them all, but the Time Police show up, so she doesn't have to
* Goes to Mrs. DeWinter's house, gathers allies and strength, who help her go to St. Mary's and figure out coordinates for St. Mary's refuge camp. Goes there.
* Leaves with Adrian and Mikey to start plan to capture Ronan. When Adrian and Mikey are caught by Time Police, Max breaks them out.
* Approaches Atticus Wolfe (and sidekick Khalife), presenting herself as greedy historian who has untraceable pod. He wants proof of time travel, so she goes to Pinky, gets two dodos, then takes Wolfe and Khalife to Kush where madcapness occurs.
* Takes Wolfe and Khalife to Cretaceous to lure Ronan out. Lots of adventure. And dinosaurs.
* Back to Time Police Headquarters, where she discovers that they betray her
* Back to St. Mary's, where she finds Mathew returned

Slime

A basic Slime is a single mutated cell most commonly found in waters. This cell is able to convert other cells into slime-cells no matter the Kind. It shares similarities to stem-cells.

The slime-cells Stick together, forming a  Blob. This slime-blob will envelop its prey in order to cover more cells on its prey's’ body. Should a part of the Slime be torn away the split off part will act as its own entity.

Of course not all cells will get converted as some are consumed for energy, since although the Slime is able to extract nutrients out of the water it still isn't sufficient to cover the energy upkeep for all the cells.

As it consumes all cells in its vicinity it will have progressively more trouble finding prey. This is when another similarity to stem-cells comes into play and the second big change happens. The Blob changes some of its cells into nerve cells effective creating a brain (this brain is often falsely referred to as a Core). Although the nerve-cells will enable the Slime to coordinate its actions the new cells are now unable to convert cells.

The creation of nerve-cells sparks a time of Evolution for the Slime, leading to the vast diversity of slimes. Most slimes will also Start splitting in This Phase.

Slimes are often used as water cleaners, since they can rid the water of harmful lifeforms and are (relatively) easy to remove.
The Ordeal of the Haunted Room

Cover of The Ordeal of the Haunted Room

**The Ordeal of the Haunted Room** is a short story in the Chronicles of St Mary's. It tells the story of Max and her team as they [DO WHAT THEY DO].

Where better for the annual festive jump than the chance to experience a real Victorian Christmas?

On the longest night of 1895, a terrible storm rages above Harewood Hall. Max, Markham and an injured Peterson are welcomed in by the Harewood family, but soon realise that, in true St Mary’s style, they couldn’t have arrived at a better moment. For tonight marks the Ordeal of the Haunted Room. Dum... dum... dum...

Every Harewood heir must endure one terrifying night alone in the Haunted Room before he can inherit the family seat. Legend says that a ghost will murder anyone who isn’t the true successor.

Henry Harewood’s ordeal will begin at midnight and end at dawn, but it isn’t long before everything goes horribly wrong...
The Steam-Pump Jump

Not one to let being banged up in Sick Bay stop her, Max has had a brilliant idea. But she needs Markham to execute it on her behalf. The subject of this cunning plan is Peterson, struggling with another bereavement and not doing very well. What’s needed to get him through it is sympathy, sensitivity, tact and understanding.

Step forward Mr Markham, for whom sympathy, sensitivity, etc., are things that happen to other people. Combine a fanatic from R&D, a head of Security with his own problems, a steam-pump, two historians who can’t even be in the same room as each other, some fractious Protestants and a large body of very dirty water. Told in Markham’s own words, this is the story of an intervention - St Mary’s style.

**Spoiler Plot Summary for the short story The Steam Pump Jump (SPJ)**

* Max does not go, being still injured from her fall from the roof.
* She sends Markham with the team of Peterson, Lingoss, North, and Sykes to view the demonstration of the steam pump, and to see if he can bring Lingoss and Peterson together. It's a madcap day.

**When a Child is Born** is a short story in the Chronicles of St Mary's. It tells the story of Max and her team as their mission goes a little - well, let's face it: all the way - off the rails.

### Synopsis

*It's Christmas Day 1066 and a team from St Mary's is going to witness the coronation of William the Conqueror. Or so they think. However, History seems to have different plans for them and when Max finds herself delivering a child in a peasant's hut, she can't help wondering what History is up to.*

### Plot Summary

Max is called into Dr Bairstow's office to report on her mission to Christmas Day 1066, to witness the tumultuous coronation of William the Conqueror. She looks back at the mission, explaining that she, Peterson, Markham and Guthrie put in the coordinates IT gave them and ended up somewhere on a hill outside London instead of in an inconspicuous alleyway.

The team trudges through the snow in order to get to London, but stumbles over an injured woodcutter, Aelfric, and decide to take him to his home. At his home, the team finds his wife, Alice, in labour and their daughter, Aline, who'd hidden herself under a blanket. The team helps to deliver the baby, Harald, tends to the livestock, fetch firewood, and applies first aid to the injured woodcutter. They stay the night, then go back to their pod. Their mission was a fail; they did not see the coronation or even get down to London.

Dr Bairstow hopes Max sees the similarities between their mission and a certain other labour in a rural establishment, complete with three wise men. She does, but doesn't mention it. That night she falls asleep in the library after searching in vain for any trace of Aelfric or his son Harald. Mrs Partridge wakes her, tells her not to think like an historian for once, and departs again. Max figures out that it wasn't Aelfric or Harald that was important to History; it was Aline. One of her descendants turns out to be Simon de Montfort, the father of modern parliament.

It looks like History sometimes likes to toy with St Mary's in order to get the job done...
