Time

1945. It was unfortunate, to say the least, that five Avenger torpedo
bombers happened to be flying over the seas around Bermuda when the
sealed dimension made contact with the area.
1872 and 1888. The crew of the ocean liner Marie Celeste, sailing the
Atlantic bound for Genoa, Italy, and Jack the Ripper, out prowling the East
End slums of foggy London, were simultaneously sucked into the sealed
dimension, vanishing from the pages of history. The repair circuits should
probably be praised for the part they played in the latter of those
disappearances.

3046. An alpha-class black hole moving at 1250 miles per second, with
a perigee of 170 million miles suddenly disappeared an instant after
swallowing Pluto. Because of this incident, scientists among the Nobility,
who were in the process of constructing interstellar rockets to escape to
other planets, were subjected to great criticism, and the senior staff on the
project, from the director down, were reassigned.
The overlap took zero real time to occur.

1901. Visiting the Palace of Versailles in Paris, Anne Moberly and
Eleanor Jourdain both ran into one Marie Antoinette as she was sketching
in an arbor in the garden. Under pseudonyms, they penned a faithful
account of their experiences, publishing it in 1911 under the title An
Adventure. Needless to say, that Marie Antoinette was none other than the
French queen who, along with her husband Louis XVI, was dispatched into
the mists of time by the revolution’s guillotine in 1793.

4018. While eating dinner in his home, the human artist Vernon Berry
witnessed a certain Noble attacking a beautiful woman in her bedroom in
London, 1878. Though it took Berry three months, he managed to complete
a portrait of the attacker. And thus the painting that for nearly six thousand
years stood as the crowning masterpiece of all the images of the Sacred
Ancestor came into being.
All the shortest effective distances between two points had overlapped.
