“Not much is known about Viceroy before the Summits. Many presume that he must have come here from the future, but with his disappearance so soon after the end of the Crisis, that question will remain unanswered. However, his name and image will live on in the memories of those he helped throughout the Crisis, most within the island nation that is now known as Britannia.”

VICEROY once again checks the portal device he has just finished building. He shouldn't have to by now, given how many times he's had to build the damn thing, but check it he does, just to be certain. Maybe this time they'll get it right, end up back in their proper timeline. Randomising the settings for what feels like the millionth time, he waits for it to obtain a charge, before stepping into the portal alongside Father Britannia, carrying between them everything they can manage.

An instant later, and many universes away, they appear. After some scouting out of the local area, it seems that once again the device has taken them to the wrong timeline. Now for the slow slog to build up the resources and material to build the machine again. Though, looking around, the technology here does seem a bit archaic. What's with all these airships?
