Synopsis:
Patrick Carney (Yankee Clipper) discusses with Pixie and Ikaris the events of the last few decades. In 1955, he encountered a dying Cassandra Locke, who told him he must hide her recordings in the Apollo 11 lunar lander in 1969. Her last act was to leave him her damaged time-belt. In 1961, Patrick told his brother about the recordings. In November 1963, when he again encountered Cassandra, their time-belts interacted, sending him to the mid 1980s. In the late 22nd century, the evidence of Skrull violence against Earth gathered by Cassandra Locke 200 years earlier is presented at Pixie's trial.
