           ON THE WATCH

Enough already with these namby-pamby time-travel stories.

"Oooo! Don’t step on that butterfly! Hitler might win World War II if you do!"

"Oooo! Look at the flabby humans! We’ve become TV dinners for the Morlocks!"

It’s time for some manly men and buff babes to go time traveling. Real explorer types, with brains, too. Explorers whose IQs are higher than the poundage they can bench press, and that would be a lot. Do you know what I mean?

This series is going to be about men and women who know how to walk and to talk and to dress and to BLEND IN in any time period they explore. These explorers are going to work for a private research corporation, which has a way-cool subterranean headquarters in the nowhere sandhills and canyons of western Nebraska, because who would look for it there. Right? And, if these explorers get into trouble while studying the past, they know how to kick butt. But, just in case there are too many butts to kick, the corporation has an extraction team made up of some EXTREME meat-eaters on 24/7 standby ready to save an explorer’s bacon. Delta Force, eat your heart out.

Oh, and if these explorers discover something we believed happened in the past DIDN’T happen – say Alexander the Great didn’t die from a wussie mosquito bite, or Abe Lincoln did tell a lie now and again, or Julius Caesar accidentally tripped and fell on Brutus’ sword – they won’t cry like a bunch of girly-men, but accept it for the truth because THEY SAW IT HAPPEN. AND THEY WANT TO LEARN THE TRUTH.
