Historical
Dendrochronological quantum entanglement (DQE). First observed in the forested area around Brookings, Oregon, when three environmental protesters against a logging project reported experiencing the memories of their distant ancestors, of the Taa-laa-waa Dee-ni' people, just before a large redwood tree was cut down. The research lab associated with Dr Chapman in the Medical Arts building at the University of Pittsburgh followed up on these reports and began running experiments on this time-displacement effect, using cross-sections of sequoia trees and lab rats of the same direct genetic lineage in clinical trials. They called it 'The Gordon Effect'. However, an accident occurred. Jake Burdett, a master's candidate in economics at the University of Pittsburgh, is now living out the memories of his distant ancestor, having been accidentally exposed to the Gordon Effect as he was sitting on a bench outside the Medical Arts building. The only hint at unravelling the effect is a single inscription in ancient Hungarian runes. Together, Jake and his ancestor must figure out how to undo the Gordon Effect, and send Jake back to his normal life.
