	Here is a timeline for a very rough idea of mine that I _know_ I
don't have time for.  Anyone who wishes to run with it may feel free to do
so.
	Oh yeah, I'm playing it by ear on the dates and ages to some
degree, so don't flame me overmuch.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Note: Years are according to Gregorian (Western) Calendar

2000 AD: Crown Prince Tenchi's dual wedding to Princess Akea and The Lady
Ryoko is performed on Jurai.  Immediately afterwards he and his household
are 'asked' to serve as Jurai's embassy/leison(sp?) to the Galaxy Police
and encouraged to spend thier free time as adventurers.  Figuring that
Court Politics were more dangerous to them than Interstellar Menaces(tm)
the Masakis readily agree.
	
2007 AD: While vacationing on Earth with her daughter and in-laws, Hakubi
Washuu meet a brilliant (by human standards) young cyberneticist named
Kasuhito Stingray and well... let us just say that a powerful mind does
not make one immune to the whims of the heart.
	
2010 AD: Washuu Stingray gives birth to her first daughter in the past
2000 years, Sylia.
	
2013 AD: Masaki Aeka gives birth to her first daughter, Asagiri (named for
the scene of probable conception).  Ryoko and Tenchi both insist that she
be raised primarily on earth, so they relocate to Tokyo under semi-assumed
names.
	
2016 AD: Shortly after the birth of her son, Mackie, Washuu learns of an
old enemy's survival (Kagato?) and realizes that he/she/it is actively
seeking her out and has already accessed her lab.  Convinced by Kasuhito
to prepare for a worse case scenario, she edits his memories and that of
their daughter as well as planting devices to diguise the true color and
shape of her childrens' eyes.  Washuu also secretly installs implants into
Sylia's mind designed to inhibit her rapidly developing intelligence (she
presumes correctly that Mackie will probably never be much brighter than
his father).
	She never returns to deactivate them. 

2022 AD: While Ryoko, Tenchi, and Akea keep in touch as much as possible
(that little harridan Asagiri seems to take after 'Mommy Ryoko' rather
than her birth mother and causes the expected degree of headaches), they
feel honor bound to follow the letter of Washuu's instructions never to
interfere with the lives of or reveal the truth to her husband and
children and are unable to prevent Kasuhito from losing himself in his
work or being murdered by Brian Mason.

2025 AD: Disaster Strikes.  An energy signature resembling one of Washuu's
warp gates is detected far beneath Tokyo by equipment in the Asagiri
households's (Tenchi, his sister Aeka, his wife Ryoko and his daughter
Prisilla) basement.  After putting the kid to bed and disguising her
bio-signiture, the trio heads down to investigate.  Unfortunately, it's a
trap set up by the same entity thought to have caused Washuu's
disappearance. 
	Akea and Tenchi are killed outright in the during the initial
battle and Ryoko is barely able to hold it off until Tsunami/Sasami
arrives via hyperspace, at which point the entity manages to separate
Ryoko from two of her gems and escape by setting off all of the nearby
fault-lines and bolting as Tsunami struggles to minimize the damage. Ryoko
is critically injured in the meelee and all the weakened Tsunami can do is
conceal her within a makeshift tomb and use Tenchi's master key to fully
hide her and speed her healing.  Tsunami does what she can to track down
her missing niece (well aware that her alien lifesigns might be masked for
her protection), but the succession crisis back on Jurai forces her to
give up the search after about a week.
	Shortly afterwards a red-eyed twelve year old Jane Doe awakens
from her coma and identifies herself as Priss Asagiri.  Due in part to
minor amnesia(sp?) and a lack of living relatives, she is soon transfered
to an orphanage.

2026-2032 AD: Come on people, you've all seen BGC by now!  <grin>

2033 AD (Note: Crash Never Happened): Repeated energy pulses desiged to
short out the technologies Washuu usually used sweep the local star
cluster in order to draw the Scientist out of hiding.  Meanwhile in
MegaTokyo, Sylia is assailed by a combination of headaches, new memories,
and increasingly esoteric thought patterns that force her to doubt her own
sanity.  Finally, both she and Mackie look in the mirror one morning only
to see a pair of jade green, catlike eyes staring back at each of them.
	Meanwhile several dormant drones of alien origin reactivate upon
sensing a juraian lifesign and attempt to pursue and capture the bearer of
same.  Priss, justifiably unnerved, is pursued by the drones into a still
abandoned area of the quakezone and cornered.  Near panic, she grabs an
ornately carved wooden hilt stuck into a piece of rubble and finds herself
with an energy blade... then the tomb is opened from within... forcibly.

	So who wants to run with this?
