The main story stuff:

1. SCP-3176 ("Estimated Time of Arrival")
   • Can be used for the "Kairos" object class
   • Establishing work for Alice Forth, cements use of temporal anomalies
   • See here
   • Status: [COMPLETED]
2. "Conservation of Bullshit"
   • Establishing work for Agent Richard 'Dick' Miguel
   • Pre-hiring retirement plan
   • See here
   • Status: [COMPLETED]
3. "Protocol: "Tangential Citrus""
   • Set in a pleasant cafe
   • Agent Dick Miguel talks to his colleague Jorge Marquez about why he always carries a tangerine
   • End it with something humorous and citrus-related
   • Status: [NOT YET STARTED]
4. "Rebriefing"
   • Set mainly in the Diner Out Of Time
   • Forth pulling Miguel out of retirement to do… something
     • Sneaks him the Fataliser, an anomaly designed to prevent him dying by making him die until he doesn't.
   • Explains the DoTA/TAD discrepancy
   • Status: [NOT YET STARTED]
5. "Killing Then"
   • Jack the Ripper is actually an anomalous entity with extremely weird properties
   • Used by the DoTA to acquire D-Class
   • Maybe a separate tale in which the TAD try to neutralise him, but Forth steps in and yanks him out of time, much to Xyank's consternation?
     • This is going to be "A TAD Offensive"
   • Titanic!
   • Status: [NOT YET STARTED]
6. "Objectively Classless"
   • Forth travels back to create a new object class, in order to stop people interfering with DoTA stuff
   • Follow it up by altering already created articles to contain the "Kairos" object class
   • See if I can get other authors on board with the idea
   • Don't post until there are at least 4 or 5 applicable articles
   • Postscript hints at finale?
   • Status: [NOT YET STARTED]
7. "The Life of Your Time"
   • Everything is fine until it isn't, and then it always was
   • Finale
   • Epilogue — Xyank in the Diner
   • Status: [NOT YET STARTED]

Stuff not part of the main story:

1. SCP-XXXX ("Unwalking Through Backwards")
   • Man who experiences time in reverse, eventually walks into/out of the basement of a house, where an experiment is being conducted on his pre-anomaly self
   • No relation to main 'plot' events aside from showcasing the department
   • Can be used for the "Kairos" object class
   • Status: [PENDING REWRITE]
2. SCP-XXXX ("The Long Way Round")
   • DoTA stopping an event by outliving the end of the universe and swinging back round
   • Keep missing slightly, homing in each time
   • Can be used for the "Kairos" object class
   • See here
   • Status: [READY TO POST]
3. SCP-XXXX ("The 90s Called…")
   • The big one. See here
   • Kairos, obviously.
   • Status: [PENDING REWRITE]

Other people's stuff that I can use for my own nefarious purposes:

1. SCP-3797 ("The Once and Future Gun")
   • Talk to stormbreath about changing the object class. No-go, unless the class becomes super-popular.
   • Still a good example of the use of anomalous time-tech
2. SCP-711 ("Paradoxical Insurance Policy")
   • Probably not going to ask for any edits, given that it's literally rated higher than my top three scips combined
   • Talk to Photosynthetic if I get a good idea involving it, for politeness' sake
3. SCP-3577 ("Pack to the Future")
   • Kairos wouldn't be appropriate here anyway
   • It's a cool scip though, so try and include a cameo somewhere
4. SCP-3780 ("Who Shot J.F.K.")

Vague ideas and meandering musings:

1. The DoTA and the TAD (as mentioned in SCP-1780) are from different timelines, with almost identical purposes
   • Debriefing of Miguel could work for this purpose? — See "Rebriefing"
   • There are two parallel timelines, and they intersect and cross over at multiple points, generally messing things up — this is the primary 'antagonist' of the series?
   • DoTA handle past/future shifting/changing while TAD handles loops and branches
2. Some kind of device that retroactively changes how time travel itself works
   • Research different theories/models?
3. The Fataliser: A device that lets you die, pulls you out of the past, then sandwiches the two together, meaning that when the death happens you're protected by your own corpse.
