Timeline (Beta)
The Timeline is a mostly linear progression of events as experienced by OCESS and its membership. Due to OCESS' frequent use of time travel, and according to the Many-worlds interpretation, all events modified by time travel continue to exist unaltered in their original universe, implying that the Timeline exists across multiple universes. As such, the timeline follows the history of the universe somewhat linearly until OCESS' inception, after which it largely follows OCESS as an organization and the Admiral, rather than any of its individual members. Any time that OCESS notably changes the timeline and, as a result, the universe in which it primarily operates, a separate instance is created and linked below. The Slipstream is the mechanism for most time travel, intentional or accidental.
