004 - Illuminating the City of Light

[not_annika]

[Seven's communicator is showing the Place de Concorde doing the panoramic photo shoot bit.] In the late twenty first century, there had been a war on a scale unlike any that had happened in the past, thereafter termed the 'Third World War', involving the nuclear weapons that were the most dangerous weapons of the time. Paris had been hit hard but in the Reconstruction, the denizens worked hard to restore the city to its former 'glory'.

They built the 'Palais de Concorde' on this sight and it would become the seat of the then future President of the Federation [Who ended up being Jonathan Archer, but let's not mention that, ok?]. Curious, to go back before and see it.

I wonder how many times Paris ends up being rebuilt? And how pervasive the war is throughout the multiverse? Does it affect us all or is it something from just a certain branch of timelines?

On a totally unrelated related note, seriously, we found this great leather place. You should totally go there and get a cream calfskin suit made for yourself. You'd look awesome.

In multiverse theory there is certain... patterns formed that repeat. Though, I imagine that it depends on how close the universe in question runs to the one that has had the war.

A suit? [She's had the odd jacket...]

[scarlet-discord.livejournal.com]

Basically a business uniform, but the leather gives it a nice little anarchic twist. You'd look good. Or maybe the same blue as your eyes...

[not-annika.livejournal.com]

Perhaps, I should take a look?

[scarlet-discord.livejournal.com]

Seriously. You've got so much poise that you could probably wear a lot of things real well.

Thank you, Wanda.

Really? That's fascinating. How did the ecosystem recover from the nuclear fallout?

Re: French:

[not-annika.livejournal.com]

There were several efforts to purify the water and soil. I'm afraid I don't have the details.

[strangehistorian]

Ah. Well, that's unfortunate. Perhaps I'll research when we get back to the Barge! Do you recall the precise year?

Re: French:

[not-annika.livejournal.com]

2060.

French:

[strangehistorian]

On the Gregorian calendar?

Re: French:

[not-annika.livejournal.com]

Yes.

[strangehistorian]

Thank you! I will research it when we return to the ship. Do you know when the city was rebuilt?

Re: French:

[not-annika.livejournal.com]

I'm not certain, I'm afraid.

Re: French:

[strangehistorian]

Thank you anyway! This is a wonderful city for history.

Re: French:

[not-annika.livejournal.com]

Indeed.

[darknessb4me]

Who started it?

[not-annika.livejournal.com]

Several factions got increasingly paranoid, covert and otherwise. It is difficult to track it down to one culprit, particularly given that records were destroyed.

[darknessb4me]

Oh.

[He doesn't care enough to go hunt that down.]

Any undead?

['Undead'?] No.
