Fanon:New Homeland

New Homeland is a subset storyline of the Time Paradox universe, set at the Ecclesiarchal capital of Hekatonschoinos. Its main characters are of orphanage near Bridgeport, which was also destroyed in a non-hostile fire from Kallisto's bombardment of Bridgeport. The orphans as well as the patron and his son make home in the new town, having been contacted by Kallisto for the collateral damage.

Main Characters

 * Hugo-Kais Aunel (real surname Mathis): The Patron of the Orphanage. He is a Tau fan and as such has met Kallisto online in several online Warhammer 40k forums and matches. He is also the father of Leonardo Mathis and essentially the stepfather of just about everyone else mentioned below. As a fellow Warhammer player, Hugo already is a great friend of Kallisto, and thought this move to be pretty much divine intervention... except that the capital world is so isolated that not many people are there to perform to, which is his lifetime wish.
 * Leonardo Mathis: Hugo's son. He is much more level-headed than Hugo, who is much more social with dreams of making it into the stages. In fact, Leonardo ran much of the orphanage operations, before Kallisto's bombardment leveled it to the ground in an accident. As such, Leonardo doesn't really like the Ecclesiarchy, even if he himself benefitted the most when he and the others moved to the capital world of the Ecclesiarchy.
 * Athena Aithalida: First of the orphans, and one the three Greek orphans. Athena is far more reserved than her rival Herakleia, and is far more introverted. However, Athena isn't as submissive as one would think, and Athena definitely is not interested in silly romance and socializing.
 * Herakleia Eurypontida: Second of the orphans, Herakleia is far more outgoing than Athena. Herakleia also sees some opportunity in the new world, hoping to establish some sort of social hierarchy. Herakleia is far more nimble than Athena.
 * Eirene Chalkida: The third of the orphans. Doesn't really give a crap about all the things, and certainly has no problem with a relatively isolated world, since this means Eirene doesn't really have to go out as much.
 * Emil and Felix McGee: The youngest orphans and twins. Emil and Felix loves animals and are artistic as well. Only difference is that Emil hates technology, while Felix hates exercisizing.

Supporting Characters

 * Kallisto Syrakosia: The ruler of the Papal State as pope, Kallisto was the one who caused the ruckus in the first place. However, given her nature, some believes that it was Hugo's shared interest that led Kallisto to profusely apologize in the first place.
 * Kallistrata Pellaia: Kallisto's clone. Kallistrata is also the head of the industry in a sense, particularly active in the mercantilist policies and thus the head of maintenance, nectar producing and even R&D: Kallistrata also wishes to make a national refining service as well.
 * Big 6 alongside Kallisto and Kallistrata. All the Big 6 are also in a sense a secondary tutor to Eirene, Athena and Herakleia outside their school curriculum. Hypatia specializes in Art (painting to be exact: Sculpting is actually tutored by Stratonike), Lysistrata Writing, Eurydike Gardening/Fishing, Kallisto Logic and Martial Arts, Kallistrata Inventing and Handiness.
 * Seleukis Enopronos: One of the Mathetai Mouson, who have been turned into Klerouchoi thanks to Esomena's recommendations. Also a fraternal twin with Krinias, and both Krinias and Seleukis (alongside Persephone) complain about a lack of Ecclesiarchal support for musical element in the extracurricular tutoring.
 * Okeanos Iolkios: The male head of the Mathetai Mouson. He is simply glad to have been removed from a bunch of people taking pleasure in seeing him suffer.
 * Zoe Drabesike: The female head of the Mathetai Mouson. Zoe is more active as well as quite unappreciative of standards, and certainly not happy about the very reactionary (and radical) social viewpoints of the Ecclesiarchy.

Prologue: B-Day
It was probably going to be a usual day around the orphanage: kids running among causing some stirs and so on. However, little did they know that this day would change their lives forever...

Hugo: Alright, my chores are done for now! Time for another Warhammer match with... Oh, look who it is, the Barbaric Kallisto's on the move again with the Green tide! Let's take on that green tide for the GREATER GOOD!

Leonardo: Pa, are you sure your job is done?

Hugo: Of course not! But then the most immediate needs have been fulfilled, so I need to take a break.

Leonardo: Gosh, Pa. You wanted to be a performer so badly, and you sit around loafing around with your buddy on internet?

Hugo: Take it easy son, I'm pretty sure you're wanted elsewhere.

Leonardo: Agh, You're talking about either those twins or those three, right?

Hugo: Ya.

Leonardo: Why can't you arbitrate for once?

Hugo: I'm busy! Kallisto, I'm going to break the 50-50 tie today!

Leonardo: Le sigh...

Outside the courtyard

Athena: No, Herakleia, this isn't right.

Herakleia: Of course it is right. This is not ancient Athens for crying out loud. You gotta go outside with me for once. Oh, Leonardo's here! Hey Leonardo, would you mind if three of us went around Bridgeport again?

Eirene: Why am I always involved in this thing? Why can't we loaf around in our couch for once? Maybe watch some TV or something?

Leonardo: Eirene's right, Herakleia. Sometimes you gotta take a break.

Herakleia: Fine, but we watch the news first, and I get dibs on channel choosing first.

Athena: Fair enough.

And so the three orphans go to watch some TV, and right when Herakleia shifted channel to the Celebrity gossip channel...

-Reporter-: We interrupt this program for a shock news!

Herakleia: Seriously?

-Reporter-: Just few minutes ago meteors have been falling from the sky, hitting multiple regions of Bridgeport. It has been reported that the Filming ground has been hit first: Here's the independent report from Antigone Syrakosia. Antigone?

-Antigone-: We've been sighting several things falling from the sky, hitting citizens as well. Here I am hearing from one of the victims over here, who is more interested in having my autograph more than providing eyewitness evidences... Some time before I was caught in the blast when I visited the Filming Ground today. To me this isn't just a meteor shower.

Athena: Oh gosh, wonder what would have happened if we went out...

Herakleia: First time I had to concede at something.

Eirene: Look over there... I see something flaming from the sky.

Herakleia: Oh crap.

And explosion occurs, taking out the transformer and thus cutting the power to the orphanage.

Hugo: Oh my god! I was cornering Kallisto! What was that? Did someone pull off a bomb experiment or something? "Goes outside" What is that?

Eirene: Uh, patron, we might want to go inside. I see more fire from the sky.

Athena: My...

Leonardo: Get Emil and Felix, quick! Oh wait, that's my job! Emi! Felix! Get inside NOW!

Although it seemed like there was a shower, only a few debris actually hit the orphanage. However, one of the wall was damaged, and as mentioned before, the transformer was destroyed.

Hugo: What in the world was that?

Leonardo: I don't know, pa, but I think it was a meteor shower.

Hugo: NOOOOO!

Leonardo: I guess I will have to cook on the portable burner now. Come kids, I'll need some help if I am to prepare for ya.

Later on at the night, having no light they were compelled to go to bed early. Fortunately, the beds were not damaged and as such they could sleep relatively comfortably, asides from the fear factor of another potential strike. However, it was not a peaceful night.

Voice: Kais... Greyskin loving Kais!

Hugo: Eirene? Have you been playing Warhammer secretly as well?

Eirene: What are you talking about, patron? I haven't been saying anything...

Hugo: Huh?

Voice: Aunel...

Hugo: Eirene!

Voice: No, it is not Eirene, o Aunel. It's I, Kallisto.

Hugo: Kallisto? WTF? You are like all the way over there? Oh wait...

Kallisto: Argh, I apologize, You haven't experienced astropathy before. But then Tau never was so psychic...

Hugo: Why are you speaking to me? Is it because I almost had you?

Kallisto: No. It is not that. But then I must apologize profusely for certain inconveniences...

Hugo: What are you talking about?

Kallisto: I guess explanations are not required. Anyways, I presume your orphanage has been damaged.

Hugo: Yeah, and we aren't exactly beefed up in cash...

Kallisto: As I've thought. I have a proposition, Hugo. There should be tickets. Go to the port and present the tickets at 6 PM tomorrow. There you shall meet me in person and I shall provide for your new facility. Bring all the orphans as well. Leave none behind.

Hugo: Urr... Ok? But how do I explain it to my boy over there?

Kallisto: He'll understand. I guess I will need to project it more broadly...

Others: Now we're hearing stuff now. Eirene?

Eirene: No, it's not me! I can hear it too!

Kallisto: Ok. Straight to the point. Your orphanage as I see is thrashed. So tomorrow, get packing. I have left tickets at the courtyard, and present the tickets in 6 PM, and I shall see to it that you're all furnished up with a new facility.

Leonardo: What? Kallisto, I have a question: How do you see?

Kallisto: I'm an astropath. I see far.

Leonardo: Ok... Whatever. Why couldn't you just fork us money instead?

Kallisto: Who are you to make such assumptions? But anyhow, I am giving a generous offer here, you know.

Leonardo: I guess you're right. Alright, I shall go with your instructions.

Kallisto: Excellent choice, Leonardo. And as I've said to Hugo in our private conversations, leave no children behind. Oh wait, you only have 5 as of this moment anyways.
