THE LOST SIGNALS: An Alternate History Titanic Tale.
By Lord Wittham.
When the R.M.S. Titanic sets sail for her sea trials, four young men are hired as Marconi Wireless Operators, systematically handling the telegraph, on the new and luxurious ship.
They get along great, but one of them starts to have doubts about the ship.
However, they could not expect what was to come, following the ship's departure from Queenstown, Ireland to the open Atlantic... straight into the Atlantic Ice Field.
With that, the Titanic eventually hits an iceberg... and it's up to the four men to call up ships to help them out; both near and far.
Once the disaster is over, they recover with a loss: one of the wireless operators passed in the sinking. And it's for them to pick up the last remaining pieces of their proof there.
This alternate history tale is about the Wireless Operators of the RMS Titanic, as in this alternate history story: there were 4 Wireless Operators on the Titanic, when in reality, there were only two operators (John George Phillips and Harold Sydney Bride), not four.
This will also have fictional and real-life ships, the Carpathia and Californian will be grandly included amongst them, along with some real-time ideas.
Also, this story will have 26 chapters: 24 main chapters, half of them (12 of them) will be short, the other half of them (12 of them) will be long, the Prologue and the Epilogue included, along with two Bonus Chapters.
RATED T: Language, violence, action, peril, horror, news, history and alternate history throughout.
ALL OC'S I OWN ARE MINE. CHARACTERS TO SHOWS I USE ARE ALL COMPLIMENTED TO THEIR ORIGINAL OWNERS, WHILE THE REAL PEOPLE OF THIS STORY ARE CHARACTERIZED IN HISTORY ON WHAT THEY DID DURING THE SINKING AND WHY THEY DID IT.
The real heroes who were there, and passed and survived that night are complimented, as well for their actions that night and the early morning hours of April 14th-April 15th, 1912.
Avaline Baker is a young woman on a camping trip with friends when she decides to go into a museum that will change her life forever. Somehow transported into the future, Ava finds herself at the barrel tip of Nazi German soldier. Transported to their camp as prisoner, Ava is lost and confused as to what, where, and who she is with...the how part is the most antagonizing.
Shortly after being saved by two American men, Ava discovers she's been placed at the center of World War Two. Surrounded by warfare and American men who have strict mindsets about women in the the 1940's, the 21-year-old feels like she has no hope of surviving. To even have a chance, Ava has to prove that just because she's a woman, doesn't mean she isn't capable of fighting to survive like the rest of them.
Ava finds herself stuck in 1944, with "strange" technology called a cell phone, no way of charging it, and no way of getting home. In the midst of a gruesome and horrifying war, she finds herself questioning more than just sanity of the time period, but even her own. Hopefully, with careful and calculating steps, Ava will survive the blistering cold winters, the first-hand experience of a war, and developing a difficult bond with the men of 1st Platoon.

This is a work of fan-fiction, which means I don't own practically anything. Except for Aveline Baker and some scenes. Will be based off of/follow the campaign.
This work has content pertaining to difficult aspects of WW2 including blood and gore; swearing/harsh language; sexual/crude comments and actions; German POW camps; etc. Please DO NOT READ if you aren't comfortable or have too strong opinions on things related to WW2. It's a fictional story and, thus, should be treated like it.
On flip side, there will humor. Especially from Zussman- we all like him. And don't forget moments from hardass Pierson...those will get interesting too. ;)
