Introducing Major Piper, St. Remedius Chief of Security (Who was St. Remedius? And why is a medical college named after him?) Every educational institution needs a security force to enforce order or at least keep chaos to a dull roar. Because of its distinctive needs, St. Remedius Medical College needed a distinctive security force. At the center, organizing the handling of parking citations, escorting dignitaries across the campus, or ordering maintenance schedules on…

St. Remedius Radio: “Background Rumination”
In A Psycher’s Mind, The Quiet Moments Are The Worst (Who was St. Remedius? And why is a medical college named after him?) Few, once they learn the truth, want the life of a certified psychic. The general onslaught of psionic energies flooding Earth up and down the timestream leave even the most powerful psychers burned out young, and precious few ever have or develop abilities that reach those heady ranks. Most psychers…
St. Remedius Medical College: “For Whom the Owl Hoots”
In Dallas, the Superb Owl Is More Than One Day (Who was St. Remedius? And why is a medical college named after him?) Dallas, Texas has a very special and specific tradition: the ability to turn any ethnic or parochial holiday, no matter how obscure, into an excuse for a majority of its citizenry to drink themselves into comas. St. Patrick’s Day? Cinco de Mayo? Mardi Gras? Oktoberfest? Belo Glasnost? All are opportunities…
St. Remedius Radio: “A Royal Touch of Feyshine”
Sometimes Diplomacy Is Less Fine Touches And More Punches In The Mouth (Who was St. Remedius? And why is a medical college named after him?) One of the biggest assumptions made about St. Remedius Medical College in the years since its disappearance was that it existed to enforce the peace with exonormal threats. While the College dedicated its massive resources to fight, neutralize, or deflect major threats to both space and time, St….
St. Remedius Radio: “When the Spaceman Hits The Fan”
Trace Fossils of Previous Travelers In Unexpected Forms (Who was St. Remedius? And why is a medical college named after him?) When understanding Earth’s past, attempting to understand and grasp the sheer amount of time that encapsulates the term “Earth history” is essential. Most paleoarchaeology and xenoarcheology students have problems wrapping their minds about how multiple advanced civilizations thrived on Earth in the Cretaceous Period with literally millions of years between them. Grasping…
St. Remedius Radio: “A Timewave Is Coming, And Some Of Us Want To Surf”
Not All Time Travelers Want or Need Accessories (Who was St. Remedius? And why is a medical college named after him?) A completely understandable supposition about time travel, forward or backward, is that travel is only possible with mechanical, magical, or psychotronic assistance. True, this helps consistent travel, but some sentients have absolutely no need or want of technology or thaumaturgy to visit new times. To use the obsolete and inadequate metaphor of…
St. Remedius Radio: “Cries and Whispers”
Time Travel Solves Fewer Issues Than One Would Think (Who was St. Remedius? And why is a medical college named after him?) Much like other cases of technological hubris, few practical applications exist for time travel. Specifically, few applications exist for physical transport in a timestream, as scrying windows, nanobubble viewers, and Bell theoretical jars pass necessary information without worries of temporal shriving, corporeal or mental losses in quantum pockets, or active past…
St. Remedius Radio: “Unknown Vistas and Unknown Times”
Time and Space Are Never Static: You Of All People Should Know That (Who was St. Remedius? And why is a medical college named after him?) While many times can qualify as Hours That Extrude, those hours can flow into days or weeks, particularly after major celebrations and/or sacrifices. With chronal membranes particularly thin before and after major holiday ceremonies, certain places are particularly susceptible to viewing not so much parallel realities as…

St. Remedius Radio: “The Hour That Extrudes”
Time Is Fluid…And Tends To Seep (Who was St. Remedius? And why is a medical college named after him?) A half-century ago, the phrase “the hour that stretches” was generally considered to be metaphor, with no actual chronometric, theological, or philosophical experts considering this to be real. At the end of 1982, though, the first arguments passing peer review that time was flexible saw publication, and by the end of 1985, the phrase…
