Revision as of 06:55, 5 March 2021

Crime-fighter John Brunner defeats the Forbidden Ratio in single combat suing Lee and Turner color projector, which Brunner had modified for use as a scrying engine.

John Brunner (? - ?) is a time-travelling crime-fighter.

Brunner was a first responder to the Pi disaster, and is widely credited with preventing the Pi catastrophe.

Brunner experienced the first known manifestation of Malleable Past, Useless Future syndrome.

Commentary

Author, crime-fighter, and alleged time-traveller John Brunner used a bespoke Lee and Turner color projector as a transdimensional scrying engine.

Not quite time travel proper, but he did break the Programmer Moriarity case.

Also, without Brunner's time-scrying, we would never know that [REDACTED], [REDACTED], [REDACTED] — respectable historical figures — were in fact [EXPLETIVE]-[REDACTED] and [REDACTED]-[EXPLETIVE].
