The British Museum, London

[itsananomaly]

Cutter and Connor had been called back home now that their class was done for the session. Even though there were still a few stories about them in the press, there was considerably a lot less of them than there had been.

They had only just gotten to the ARC when the anomaly siren started blaring and it turned out there was an anomaly at the British Museum, Lester had been reluctant to let Connor and Cutter go on the mission with the press still interested in them but Abby and Cutter’s Connor were on another assignment and eventually Lester had okayed Cutter and Connor to go but they had to follow Becker’s orders and stay out of sight as much as they could.

So that was why Cutter was considerably surprised when they pulled up at the British Museum to see a pack of reporters there and his stomach lurched, “do you think they’re here for the creature sighting at the museum?” he tried, surely no one at the museum had leaked to the press that they would be on there way.

Sarah couldn't help but grin at that, "so does that mean I'm on the team?" she said, "like for real?"

[anomaly_research_nerd]

"Aye that it does!" Connor said with a grin. "Welcome to the ARC!"

Becker sighed and rubbed the bridge of his nose as Lester left. "Yay...: he said less than enthusiastically.

[itsananomaly]

"Yes welcome to the team Sarah," Cutter smiled, "we'll have to wait until you're fully vetted before we can show you around but despite Lester's protests, I'm pretty sure he's already gotten the ball rolling with that one, it shouldn't be long at all before you're cleared,"

[anomaly_research_nerd]

"And once you are, Cutter and I will show you around the place, It's going to be amazing!" Connor said with a grin, giving Becker a side glance as he watched the man slump into the nearest chair.

"Need me to get you a drink?" Connor asked.

"Yes, please. The strongest drink we have in the break room, Becker groaned."

Sarah laughed at that, "oh I can't wait to see my first proper anomaly," she grinned.

"You saw your first proper anomaly?" Cutter pointed out

"Yeah but I didn't see any kind of creatures coming through," she argued, "that anomaly was boring,"

Cutter shook his head, "be careful what you wish for," he said with a grin.

[anomaly_research_nerd]

"Yeah... we dont say that too loud" Connor said with a laugh. "Though now that we are back at the ARC and I don't feel like Im gonna jinx us or anything... this was a lot easier than it was back in my timeline" Connor said slowly. "We had to deal with a Pristicampus!"

[itsananomaly]

Sarah's eyes were wide, "no way," she breathed, "you dealt with a Pristicampus? I think we may have just found our first link between myth and anomaly, I think they may have inspired the Egyptian religion," she said excitedly.

Cutter looked curiously at Connor, he had never heard of Connor mention differences between their timelines before, "I wonder why things changed for us?" he considered.

[anomaly_research_nerd]

Connor swallowed a little. He wasnt sure it was the right time or place, definitely not the right company, to start poking at the fact that his Cutter had been long dead by the time he cam to Fandom. So he just gave a small shrug.

"Maybe the fact that you decided to come to Fandom rather than stay here in London was enough to make the timelines shift a little?" He looked at Cutter, feeling bad about keeping things from him but he was still absolutely terrified about messing things up even further.

"But if what Sarah said is right, then the anomalies could be the origin for myths and legends around the world. Stories of gods and monsters could actually be confirmation of anomalies opening an closing!"

[itsananomaly]

"Maybe," Cutter nodded, "I wonder what other changes have happened because I decided to go to Fandom?" he couldn't help but wonder.

Sorry Cutter that was a conversation for another time.

But then he focused on the rest of what Connor was saying, "I think that's definitely a good place to start," he said, "once you're vetted and have signed the official secrets act, I'd like you to get started on the research right away Sarah," Cutter told her.

[anomaly_research_nerd]

"Of course, I... I'd love to.. I cant believe this is really happening though" Sarah said still in awe at everything that had happened over the last few hours.

Connor grinned at that. "Yeah it takes a little getting used to. But I have a feeling you will fit in perfectly!"

[itsananomaly]

Cutter smiled that, "yes you're going to fit in just fine, won't she Becker?" he looked over at Becker who was still slumped in his chair.

[thearcfamily]

"Oh yes, just swimmingly..." Becker groaned, head still in his hands. He definitely needed to talk to Lester about a pay raise after all if this!

[itsananomaly]

Sarah couldn't help but giggle at that, "oh it won't be that bad, I do grow on a person," she said sweetly.

"Welcome to the team Sarah," Cutter grinned.
