Another Step Back, Part 5

January 17, 1976
New York City, NY

The red light on the camera in the NBC studio came on.  One of consequences of the appearance of the Uptimers was that any Marxist would never be hired for cast of Saturday Night Live.

Washington, DC

The Uptimers brought back data on the Waco Massacre.  The FBI was dissolved as a result of The Reformation.  To avoid that fate the Bureau taught about the Waco Massacre.  Prior to The Reformation the common narrative was that perpetrators were the good guys.  After The Reformation the Waco Massacre was seen as act of state terror that it actually was.

The Uptimers had enough of the Andolini Crime Family.  The efforts of The Mafia to get in on the Uptimer thing were annoying.  The effort of the Andolini Crime Family was especially stridently annoying.  The platoon of Rangers that dropped on the Andolini family estate was led in person by Major Benson.  The senior NCO of the Rangers, Sergeant Major Les Keller, was also present.  The leadership of the Andolini Crime Family was wiped out by the Uptimers.

Panmunjom, Republic of Korea

The Korean peninsula was unified by force during a Chinese civil war that followed the death of Chairman Mao.  The Soviets weren't getting involved in the Korean Reunification War.  Kim Dae Jung was subsequently hanged in a public square in Seoul, Korea.  Two officers of the Korean Army examined a tree.  Did the tree need to be cut down? 

Starship Owl, Alpha Centauri System

The jump with the rebuilt hyperdrive was successful.  The crew was now examining the Alpha Centauri System.
