'Zaratorio: The Story Continues' is a political parable dedicated in general to everyone who believes in #PeaceinUkraine and who says #NoToWar. More specifically, it is written in support of the brave and generous women and men of Medecins Sans Fro...
'Of course we have never seen an Odgan ship, but there are several examples in the Institute's database, so we know what they look like' whispers Brenda.
'Yes. I had seen that. But what about the Pseudo-Vanir? Their name suggests a Norse connection, but as they are – presumably – shapeshifters, how can we be sure what they look like in Bulgaria, or anywhere else?' answers Samantha in equally hushed tones.
The SISP is under chrono-attack from several different enemies at once, and the experienced leaders of the Institute and their loyal technicians are trying to stabilise time in the Kyiv area using technology sent via unter-space from the twenty-fifth century. Their allies from the future, the Terran Cosmic Battle Fleet, are only too aware of the dangers they face, and are very willing to help. For if the various malevolent time-travellers who inhabit the cosmos can change the major patterns of Earth history, as opposed to minor details, then our home planet may very well disappear completely, as the time-vortex seeks to correct the all-too-probable anomalies.

Professor Amber's body language indicates that things are not going well, so Brenda ventures another remark.
'Just think. This is frightening enough for us, and we know what's happening. Imagine what it's like for ordinary Ukrainians, when their clocks and watches go into reverse, and the sun is blotted out by bizarre meteorology!'
'Indeed. Unfortunately, I was under the impression that Inga's main concern was to change our weather, and not to change our history. I wish I had shared more of my chrono-data earlier ...' replies the American broadcaster.
Now, all of sudden, there is a major change and every screen in the building goes blank. A few seconds later a printed message appears on each and every device within the Institute and it is impossible to scroll away (or even switch anything off) for several minutes.
THIS IS THE HIGH COUNCIL OF THE ALLIANCE BETWEEN THE ODGANS AND THE PSEUDO-VANIR, COMMUNICATING WITH YOU, THE SLAVIC INSTITUTE FOR STUDYING THE PARANORMAL, VIA UNIVERSAL TRANSLATION TECHNOLOGY.
We are aware that the biotempador known as Inga has created the false impression that we have attacked you twice in the last seven days. This is completely incorrect, for while we know that you have friendly relations with our enemies, the Terran Cosmic Battle Fleet, we wish you no harm. Fortunately, the fabric of the time vortex has only sustained minor damage, and we are actively repairing it.
Consequently, we are going to create an amnesiac resonance across your city so that your neighbours will have no recollection of the recent happenings, and we will also try to remove as much data as possible about these events from various communication nodes around the world. Hopefully, as a result, the true events of Kyiv in the year 2022 CE will be as obscure to the rest of planet Earth as those of Roswell, 1947.
