FRINGE EVENT: Time chambers and time loops

CLASSIFIED CASE CONNECTION(S): N/A

AGENTS ASSIGNED: Dunham, Lee, Farnsworth

SUPERVISING AGENT: Broyles

FILE ARCHIVED BY: Colleen Montini, John Rinker

WITNESSES/CONTACTS: Dylan [redacted], Kate Green, Raymond Green (suspect)

LOCATION: Central Village, Boston, MA; Brookline, MA

VICTIM(S): Agent [redacted] (evaporated)

CASE REPORT SUMMARY:

Boston PD reported an influx of resident calls describing incidents of déjà vu, lost time, frozen moments, time jumps, reversals, and time loops. A mother and daughter who survived an apartment fire reported that for the duration of the event, the daughter went from being a five-year-old to an infant. The fire marshal also determined that some areas burned next to places that were completely undamaged. The outside wall had scorch marks that made a perfect circle. The fire marshal reported that there had been a fire in the same location four years earlier.
 Afterward, sixty-five time slips in seventy-two hours were logged, all of which occurred within a forty-mile radius of downtown Boston. Consultant Peter Bishop theorized his return had somehow damaged the space-time continuum. Dr. Bishop studied the report map and found it matched Fibonacci's Golden Spiral, which provided an epicenter—the home of the Greens. Raymond Green was an electrical engineer, and Kate Green was a former professor emeritus of theoretical physics at Boston University suffering from early onset Alzheimer's. The time problems were the side effect of Raymond Green's three-year quest to create a lasting Time Chamber (per Kate Green's uncompleted equations) to keep his wife isolated in time from her disease. Peter Bishop entered the house in a Faraday Cage to confront the Greens. Kate Green realized her husband's plan and bartered for his immunity in exchange for shutting off the process safely without causing a rip in the fabric of space-time. Peter Bishop's actions staved off a potential cataclysmic event at the Melville Tunnel. Kate Green redacted her formula.
