the SEVEN-FIVE project

"Rather forcibly removed if I recall correctly. Yes, I tried to manipulate time to my own desires. I know it was wrong but I had to do it. I lost three brothers in the silly war that the Council still won't justify. I was simply trying to stop the war from ever happening so that no one had to die." Doc looked towards Nikki as he spoke, as if he was talking to someone through her.

"The war wasn't the Council's fault. The humans started it when they killed... This isn't the time or the place for this argument. Nikki leaned back in her chair and crossed her arms over her chest.
"Nikki's right, you two can argue about more things that I know nothing of later. Right now we're answering my questions. And I want to know why you chose now to show up?"
"Because I've spent my life monitoring the time stream, be it with the approval of those in charge or otherwise. I've spent most of my time finding anomalies and either fixing them or changing them. Most recently I've been following an anomaly that seems to be attached to this Cyrus person that you're fighting. Something about him and this anomaly are hiding him from all of my scans so I can't get to him directly and fix it. I figured that eventually you would lead me to him and I could find out what this anomaly is doing and repair it."
"How long have you been following seven?" Nikki leaned forward.
"A little over a week I suppose. I was contacted by a Susan Welch that the Council wanted me in Shawston for something. I knew the children were there and figured that I would check on them while I was there. Little did I know that that was exactly what the Council wanted me to do."
"You've been following me for a week but didn't do anything when Martin was being attacked or when Nikki and I got kidnapped?"
"I was given strict orders by the Council not to interfere until the four of you were together. And still I can't actually do anything, I can only advise you."
Suddenly The Priest looked up and towards the door to the outside. "Excuse me, I will be right back." He got up from his chair and quickly went towards the door. I heard him mumble something that sounded like a cross between a prayer and a spell before he went outside.
