New group fanfic
Hi, I read the fanfic done on this board (although I can't find it again) and I was hoping if it could be done again. I've got a start -
-----
Commander Keen, a.k.a. Billy Blaze, emerges from the time displacement bubble.
"Well, the universe is still here, that's a good sign," mutters Billy.
He runs a system diagnostic on the Bean-with-Bacon Megarocket.
"Nuts, the fuel converter's intake has been fractured."
Keen leans back in the seat of the cockpit and engages the space suit.
A visor comes down from the helmet and airtight fabric with titanium-infused plastic is wrapped around him.
He ejects from the cockpit and maneuvers to the rear of the Bean-with-Bacon Megarocket and examines the fuel converter.
He has his helmet tuned to his favorite photachyon station when suddenly he hears some interference.
He tries to catch phrases in Omnispeak but he can't make anything out. Then, suddenly, he hears the phrase "testing, testing.".
It's English! "I don't believe it! Humans are at east 10 years from experimenting with this level of technology!
"How far did that bubble displace me, anyway?" He rushes back to the cockpit in zero gravity and calculates how far forward or backward in time he's been displaced.
"10 years! It's now... 2002..."
TO BE CONTINUED..

Re: New group fanfic
"Year 2002? Year 2002?!?! I'm in the future!"
Keen thinks he should now get back to home, so he starts the engines and starts to fly through a unknown galaxy, where he currently is.
(sorry, I don't have any idea how it could continue)

re
Thoughts rush through his head. Does this mean someone else has taken care Mortimer, or does he only have one more chance to thwart Mortimer's plan to obliterate the universe?
Obviously, he races to Gnosticus IV to consult the Oracle....

Somone write something! It'd work either way - either the Oracle recounts to Keen how someone or someones thwart Mortimer without him, or Keen has the battle of his life, to save the universe one last time..! WRITE!

hmm...
[a little off topic, but Korath, you should seriously consider making a Keen2 or Keen3 mod off this little plot--the first part you've written is fabulous!]
after a little tinkering, Keen gets his ship back in order and jets off in the direction he last remembered Gnosticus IV being (hope i spelled that right?) unfortunately, after a short wait and decellerating out of hyperspace, Keen's eyes went wide in amazement "Gone?!" he mused, "But i was just here... 10... year... ago... nuts." quickly he ran some scans, calculating everything from the roation of the planets, to its orbit, its system, its galaxy, so far out as the universe itself, but nothing could prepare him for the stunning realization he came to "it's not... half gone?" Keen did a longer range scan, and slumped back in his seat "it is... the universe... double nuts! there's got to be a way to stop this!"
[half gone? or half consumed by some sort of giant vacuum cleaner? ;-) hehe or half-something'ed by something else? who will disclose the information we need?]

then..
Keen switches to the Galactic News station on his portable photachyon tranciever and listens.
"The universe continues to be destroyed.. event horizon of oblieration approaching our galaxy.. evacuations are in full progress.. emergency wormhole transport active... evacuation point: 1175668, 3324070, 5607... predicted galactic elimination time: 13 minutes.."
Keen quickly feeds the co-ordinates into the Bean-with-Bacon's computer core and engages the engines full throttle. He's never heard of an emergency wormhole transport - wormholes are extremely unstable and had never found practical use. "Oh well, a lot can happen in ten years, I guess.."
He continues to lisen to the news.
"Little information about this universal destruction is still known. It is speculated that an Earth-being known as Mortimer McMire is responsable for this cataclysmic event. No-one knows how he is acheiving this - not even our new outergalactic allies - who are responsable for the wormhole evacuation system - have any way of stopping it. This is Photachyon News, over and out. For good."
Keen decellerates and sees a huge opening in space, and hundreds of thousands of transports waiting to go through the wormhole. The Bean-with-Bacon Megarocket, being one of the smaller ships, slips through the bigger ships and flies into the hole in space.
What happens next?

Revelations
Keen adjusted his velocity to match that of the nearest ship looming before him, engaged auto-pilot, and leaned back in his seat. Watching the strange colors sliding around the wormhole's interior, it was almost easy to forget what he'd just been through.
Keen's mind began to shift to other things. 'Let's see', he thought, 'I came to this time for a reason, what did I come here to do?' It wasn't like Keen to forget, he couldn't even remember the last time he forgot something. Briefly his mind flittered over the notion that he couldn't remember the last time he forgot something because he forgot about it and that this could be a sign of a greater deficiency of which he was unaware, but that was silliness, so he continued to think unabated. It seemed that no matter how hard he tried, the last thing he remembered was exploring a derelict base -- one Mortimer had abandoned. He was looking for clues about Mortimer's plan to destroy the universe, he's just cracked into the computer system and... he remembered strange colors coming from a monitor, flashing brightly, and then... That seemed to be all keen could remember. Yet he knew when he came to the future, it was with a sense of purpose. He was there to do something.
Keen took off his helmet, exposing his messy hat hair to the world -- or to the wormhole he supposed. In it's place he attached a smaller, more expensive helmet. This one, his Pneumonic Organize-o-Matic, was a sort of Defragger for your brain. It organized his brain quickly, and improved both his memory quality and overall access time. For a moment he was lost and confused, 'Where am I? For that matter, WHO am I? Nothing makes sense!' panic began to creep into him. Suddenly, all questions were answered and keen began to relax again. The only thing he didn't like about his Defragger was the temporary amnesia -- if it wasn't for that he'd use the machine more often.
With a newly reorganized and streamlined memory keen reached back to the time he was on the derelict base. This time he remember the flashes clearly. They had put him into some sort of daze. He fell back into a chair and something clamped down on top of his head. Suddenly he was doing things that made no sense. Going into a part of base he hadn't been to yet, grabbing a few unrecognizable bits of machinery, and carrying them to his ship. He opened up the hood and fiddled with his own time machine. Damaging it so it could only travel forward in time, and altering the size of it's temporal wormhole. 'Mortimer must have put a trap on that base for me. He made me do those things, obviously to get me out of the way, and now my path to the past is blocked by my own sabotage. It'll take a lot of time for me to fix the Chron-o-Matic (time travel device)," keen stares out the cockpit window, "it looks like I don't have much of that left."
Keen slides his helmet over his head, and glares defiantly forward. His final battle with Mortimer had begun.
(ending changed, proof-read, etc)

I think stories like these need to be moderated. Korath should be in charge of this story and of maintaining consistency.
DJaser's addition, while well intentioned, seems to ignore already established plot points. I recommend it be removed.

Ahem..
----------
Back to the story... 
----------
Keen emerges from the wormhole with a well organized brain and a whole lot of questions. From his position in the Bean-wit-Bacon Megarocket's cockpit, he sees every known transport and shuttle in the known galaxy, and even a few new ones. Also in his range of vision is an enormous gas giant orbited by a whole lot of moons. He picks up a transmission on his photachyon tranciever and listens.
"This is Photachyon News reportiong to you from a moon of a gas giant in a solar system in a galaxy near the edge of the universe. The emergency wormhole is being colapsed due to the unknown nature of the event horizon of obliteration and how it would translate through the wormhole. Beings are to be sorted onto moons by their climtic endurance. Any Sulphur-based creature/being with the temperature endurance between 1000 and 1500 degrees celsius, gravitational tolerance of 5Gs and an atmospheric acceptance consisting of sulphur, helium, and traces of zinc, please proceed to the hellishly red moon on the far side of the planet. Any carbon-based creature/being with the temperature endurance between -40 and +50 degrees celsius,gravitational tolerance of 1G and an atmospheric acceptance of Oxygen, Carbon Dioxide and Nitrogen, please proceed to the purple and blue moon on the near left side of the planet. Creaures with..."
Keen switched off the Photachyon Tranceiver and scanned the left side of the gas giant for a purple and blue moon. Once located, he rocketed towards the moon, entered the atmosphere and landed on a plateau. He ran a climate check and
recallibrated his physiology to match the exterior environment. He then opened the cockpit of the Bean-with-Bacon Megarocket and took a step down. He examined the vegetation - mostly little scrubby purple things with the texture of fresh lettuce and leaves the size of Overgrown rubarb. Over in the distance there seemed to be green stalks rising up. He looked the other way and there seemed to be creatures drawing near. They seemed to be in a real hurry. In fact they were rushing right at him!
