'''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==
Line 33 ⟶ 41:
*<span style="font-style: normal; ">Eun Jin Choi: A "spoil of war" taken from the 3rd timeline. Eun Jin Choi has always been a Philhellene, one of the reason for her easy transition to the Greek-dominated Papal State. Also one of the favorites of the Big 6, particularly Kallisto and Kallistrata. Eun Jin is also a nerd, wanting to take a part of the "machine cult" (as Eun Jin would say) of the Papal State quite zealously.</span>
*<span style="font-style: normal; ">Persephone Phalara: Alongside Krinias and Seleukis, the teen members of the Mathetai Mouson. Persephone is a relatively new member, and lacks experience. Hoewver, Persephone had been working on a family machine shop as an assistant before joining, hence Persephone has some handiness skill.</span>
*<span style="font-style: normal; ">Ho Young Kang: Tae Jong's younger son (as compared to Sung Hoon). He is bookish like a typical stereotypical asianAsian.</span>
*<span style="font-style: normal; ">Gyuri Kang: Tae Jong's younger daughter (as compared to Yuri). Gyuri is more of a rebel, despite having some skill related traits.</span>
*<span style="font-style: normal; ">Chiranjivi Maurya: Miyu's personal butler and the younger butler of the Japanese visiting family. Has been known to be a legend at endurance due to his rough life at the slums of India, and thus is a point of interest of the Big 6, who wishes to study him or even employ him.</span>
Line 620 ⟶ 628:
Herakleia: Heh.
 
Miyu: Aristophanes, is it possible for us to renoucerenounce our standings?
 
Aristophanes: No. As far as I know all of you are to be assigned to a spot. I believe you know where you will go.
Line 788 ⟶ 796:
Stratonike: Yes, and it does follow most of the codex rules and the standing conventions. However, it seems to be lacking in the underground aspect, but if Esomena's designs are executed well, such shall pose minimal problems. And Esomena is taking the Arabs well, look at them minarets!
 
Kallistrata: Of course, of course. To the second dossier, then. We should call Hypatia, this involves the academic performacesperformances.
 
Stratonike: Go figure.
Line 947 ⟶ 955:
Herakleitos: And the vocabulary is growing strong, miss. I presume you're trying to shift to the official language here?
 
Miyu: Me? Speak Greek? Uh-uh. No way I'm working as aan official under that batcrap insane Kallisto. No, no, no, no.
 
Herakleitos: Ahem.
Line 1,087 ⟶ 1,095:
Ptolemaios: Hmm... Oh wait, I already have a wife, what am I thinking?
 
Kallisto: Ah, attempingattempting to get more power via romance? A clever move, but not clever enough. However, you have well judged the risks and rewards, Philadelphos. Why don't you go with the incest route as the Aigyptioi did? Oh wait, your wife is your sibling...
 
Chiranjivi: That is so wrong.
Line 1,167 ⟶ 1,175:
Emil: Our patron is always happy for another one of his games, is he? But then I do wish that he'd work with magic as he always wanted to.
 
Athena: I believe we have ana huge announcement...
 
Hugo: Go on, turn on the channel.
Line 1,308 ⟶ 1,316:
Kallisto: Excellent. However, I believe such an Order is better placed here, given that the WooHooium infestation is worst in our own capital.
 
Kallistrata: The task should be undertaken by us: after all, the Order was created to enforce the absenseabsence of the heretical material outside our own eyesights. We may be psykers, Kallisto, but we cannot see every WooHooium in the Papal State, much less the entirety of the globe.
 
Kallisto: Heh, very well. However, I must laud you for your incomplete Chrononomion project: I have undone the damages incurred by Tessa and Hippias.
Line 1,590 ⟶ 1,598:
-Newspaper Article: Heading: "SCORES OF CATS AND DOGS PASSES AWAY MYSTERIOUSLY"-
 
-Newspaper main body: On the Papal Capital of Hekatonschoinos, scores of dogs and cats have disappeared mysteriously, only to be found in the cemetarycemetery marked dead. The official reasons vary, from meteor to starvation. One such animal, Shironeko, was found dead due to starvation according to official records, although some suspect something, given that Shironeko is from a relatively wealthy household. The Papal authorities deny any accusations as of the moment, claiming this to be preposterous as their enemies were primarily romance, and dogs and cats are only secondary evils. Some do find this fishy, since none recalls finding a meteor these past few days. However, some have reported meteors alongside the shores, although no signs of terraforming are visible.-
 
Emil: Ouch. That sarcasm is of some appropriateness there, Eirene.
Line 1,755 ⟶ 1,763:
Herakleia: You're a Witch?
 
Hypatia: Yes indeed. Human augmentation has always been aan Ecclesiarchal favorite. Never knew Kallisto would go so far.
 
Herakleia: Oh my.
Line 1,919 ⟶ 1,927:
Emil: Yippee!
 
And soon after, the Ecclesiarchy gives the ok to Hugo's group, and the party sets out to Sunlit Tides, the Ecclesiarchy looking to try out the attractions and the facilities that they deem potentially useful, while the other simply wanting some relaxation. UnkownUnknown to Hugo's group, the Kang family had gone ahead of even the Ecclesiarchy, having taken a large vacation home. Not to be outdone, Hugo follows suit with an equally spacious and luxurious home. As for the Big 6, they do the unthinkable, replicating the entire Naos-Stratopedon complex in Sunlit Tide as a base of operations. Here, each group does what they want to do: however, there were bigger things in store than they had ever anticipated...
 
-First day at Sunlit Tides, Vacation home of the Kang Family
Line 1,969 ⟶ 1,977:
Felix: What? No way! What is this?
 
Hugo: Sorry folks, it looks the the town's got an ordinance requiring enrollment of even the tourist kids.
 
Emil: Nooooooooooooooooooooooo...
Line 2,155 ⟶ 2,163:
 
Hypatia: We do have other clumsy characters, including our Chapter Serf.
 
===Subchapter 2: Law's gamble===
Sooner or later, Kallisto soon figures out that the Police has taken some of Kallisto's funds: a paltry amount compared to the national treasury, sure, but enough to get Kallisto concerned. Kallisto then visits the Police Station to settle the matters herself, alongside the evidence of the accidental accident as well as the [[Alastair Adams|partially successful attempt at restoring the situation to the status quo]].
 
[[Leo Wahine|Leo]]: Kallisto, right?
 
Kallisto: Indeed. I have come here to defend myself against charges of deliberate murder, and I have brought with me the resusticated victim of the accident.
 
Leo: Indeed? Now I don't really see people actually bringing people back to life. But I do have a question: Why drop an explosive charge in the first place?
 
Kallisto: No, Rod of God is purely kinetic in nature. In fact, I presume you are aware of the Bridgeport incident?
 
Leo: I see. But I shall need to take some money from thee.
 
Kallisto: How much?
 
Leo: 3,500 simoleons please.
 
Kallisto: Very well. So when shall we return Alastair to the family?
 
Leo: Hmm... "gets a call" Hold on for a minute, My superior wants to talk to you.
 
Kallisto: Indeed.
 
Silas: So here's the murd...
 
Kallisto: Cut it to the point. I have already demonstrated my lack of intent on murder. Now, why have you come?
 
Silas: Because there is an issue that always bugged me.
 
Kallisto: So, what is it?
 
Silas: This island seem like a peaceful one, right?
 
Kallisto: And it's actually run by an evil overlord, is that the point?
 
Silas: Darn, you are quick.
 
Kallisto: So, what's the deal?
 
Silas: I presume you are aware of the Kahale family, right?
 
Kallisto: No, but I do hear that Eurydike has one of the Kahales in the contact books.
 
Silas: Yes. This is the problem: Kahale family has a supervillain that I cannot foil on my own, and using political means are futile, given that Kai is an effective shield against any political actions.
 
Kallisto: Hmm, a black ops request, is it not?
 
Silas: Yes. My request is that you remove an evildoer in our midst. Please make it so, Kallisto.
 
Kallisto: So, what is in it for me?
 
Silas: Ever the politician, eh, Kallisto?
 
Kallisto: Always. I've already undid most of the problems caused by my action. Your request is a liability on our part.
 
Silas: Very well, what if I said Sunlit Tide can defect to your Papal State? After all, Kahales have been very independent of the SimNation and Sunlit Tide is more or less independent as well.
 
Kallisto: Now that is an interesting deal. However, you are aware of the Papal laws, right? Because if you are using that as an offer, you should be aware that no romance is allowed.
 
Silas: ...
 
Kallisto: Of course. Kallistrata was very concerned about your conductivity to romance. Such heresy is blasphemous to the Papal code and history. Of course, I am willing to take the offer. But I am saying this because you will probably have to adapt... or leave should this be the course.
 
Silas: Now you've made this complicated. Now what if I chose to incriminate you?
 
Kallisto: Yes. Now who would the parents believe: The claims that their sons were dead, or the currect fact that their son is safe and sound? And that would do you no good, as this would put me in a position where it is better for me to side with your archenemy.
 
Silas: Alright, alright. Ah, I'm really in the bind.
 
Kallisto: So we stick to the original plan, eh?
 
Silas: ...
 
Kallisto: Hello? I could get the answer any time now, or perhaps the allure of heresy is too much for ye?
 
Silas: Very well, as a law enforcer and a man I shall stick with the proposition.
 
Kallisto: Indeed, a very wise choice. Your citizen shall not be disappointed.
 
-Friday-
 
Lealani: Mommy? There is a black spot on the porch.
 
Alana: Don't worry, Lealani, it's probably just shadow... Oh wait... It is somewhat strange... Kai! Come over here to the porch!
 
Kai: Alright. "hears something" Oh, what is...
 
Alana: Ahh!
 
Lealani: Aaahhhhh!
 
Alana: That hurt... Lealani, are you okay?
 
Lealani: It hurts... my clothes are burned!
 
Kai: I'll take a bath for now.
 
Alana: Alright. Leanali, get ready for school.
 
Lealani: Ok.
 
Alana: This travesty is not acceptable! What in the world was that thing? Oh, another one? What in the...
 
-Later on, at 1 P.M. at the Criminal hideout-
 
Alana: Kimo, how's the activity?
 
Kimo: We have some loot. Here, boss.
 
Alana: Well done, but I must depart for the day. Wait, do you hear something?
 
Kimo: What is it?
 
Alana: Oh great, more things from the sky... "Hmm... I could have sworn that something is amiss: Few days ago I've seen another one of these. Wait, could these be the Rods of God? Certainly Kallisto may be behind this, but what has she have to gain from my downfall?"
 
-An hour later-
 
After the hour, the entire criminal hideout was peppered by the things from the sky, depressing much of the terrain. Here Kallisto treks in nonchalantly, moving without care to pick up the debris from the hail of projectiles.
 
Kallisto: Greetings, criminals. Don't worry, I have no quarrels with ye. I simply came here to pick up some stuff, observed from the observatory.[[File:KallistoOffering.png|thumb|Alana: Please! This is injustice!]]
 
Alana: Hurr, this Kallisto grates on my nerves!
 
Kallisto: Is there a problem?
 
Alana: No, please move onward. "Heh, I can catch two stones in one! Kallisto is sure to bring a huge sum of the Papal Treasury and technology with her. If I can screw the Papal presense over, I can rule this island and deal with any resistances!" Oh wait... Why is it so dark... No, You dare? KALLIS--
 
Kallisto: No hard feelings, local warlord.
 
Grim Reaper: Alana, a pleasant surprise!
 
Alana (Ghost): Please restore me! Do not let me pass away without vengeance!
 
Grim Reaper: I'd love to, but then Kallisto has a bad record in preserving my soul bank. I haven't gotten any good souls since Kallisto came in. No, I only got pet souls. Tata, join my kingdom. (Turns to Kallisto) So, have you any plans to take this soul as well?
 
Kallisto: Well, Grim Reaper, you just got lucky. I have no intention of taking that soul away from you. Now stop complaining about Jessica. You don't want unlucky souls anyways until they're ripe. Have fun with your new acquisition.
 
Grim Reaper: I guess that transgression can be forgiven.
 
Kallisto: As they say, all power demands sacrifice. Thank Alana for hers. Now where was I? Ah yes, to collect my reward.
 
-At Naos-Stratopedon, 6 A.M.-
 
Stratonike: So, have you accomplished your goal?
 
Kallisto: Yes indeed. Now all we have left to do is to reap our reward.
 
Stratonike: Ah, so you had an interest for a beach town!
 
Kallisto: Meh. Although as Greeks I'd think all of us have some affinity to the shores one way or another.
 
Stratonike: An excellent point. But then this was not our objective.
 
Kallisto: Perhaps, our objective here was to acquire some knowledge. But it seems operational situation has turned surprisingly to our favor.
 
Stratonike: What do you know, it seems like we found gold in the haystack. Ah, so when shall we begin the Asian expedition?
 
Kallisto: Hold your horses, Stratonike. You'll get the chance soon enough.
 
-Allender House, 7 A.M.-
 
Kallisto: Open up!
 
Silas: By the heavens you're so impatient! Oh wait, Kallisto? What business do I have with you?
 
Kallisto: I've done as you've requested. Now I want dominion over this place.
 
Silas: No. Impossible! So soon?
 
Kallisto: Yes, of course. That Alana girl didn't exercize her intellect. In fact, she's probably more spaced out than Alastair himself.
 
Silas: There are ears out there. Get in. (goes inside) Seriously, this has not been even a day and you've already gone with her assassination?
 
Kallisto: Why not? Is there a problem, officer?
 
Silas: Well... I expected the assassination attempt to go on for some time...
 
Kallisto: And so did I. But then my Rod seems effective at getting the job done. Now, shall I go ahead and annex the place? I'm getting impatient already.
 
Silas: You frighten me.
 
Kallisto: On what grounds? Oh, the romance thing? Yes. You should be frightened. Maybe that is an impetus needed for you to take off the yoke of the romance is good nonsense, thus making the room for the Platonic way,
 
Silas: That is an issue. However, the greater issue is how I can persuade...
 
Kallisto: That will be of trivial difficulty. Eurydike shall handle this for us. Ah, and please attend the annexation ceremony 4 P.M at the Overlook.
 
==Chapter 13: Intrant Kostopouloi et alii==
With the assassination of Alani Kahale, the Ecclesiarchy quickly absorbed Sunlit Tides into their dominion, and quietly slipped out of Sunlit Tides. This robbed [[Fanon:Isis Stone|Isis Stone]] from meeting her self-proclaimed archrival, although Isis Stone was to remain on Sunlit Tides for some time. The Big 6 returned with the bathing technologies, and immediately had renovated the Balaneion. Kallisto engaged in even more terraforming and lot creating, which leads to the next set of characters...
 
[[Fanon:Angelos Kostopoulos|Angelos]]: Well then, this is the Papal State. I expected something more cosmopolitan.
 
[[Fanon:Athanasia Kostopoulou|Athanasia]]: Never mind that. Our only reason to come here in the first place is to outdo our Turkish rivals.
 
Angelos: Indeed, sister. How's our new home, [[Fanon:Kyriake Kostopoulou|Kyriake]]?
 
Kyriake: I suppose this doesn't hurt. The spare land over there will definitely be of use.
 
Athanasia: Right, how's it, Theophylakte?
 
[[Fanon:Theophylaktos Kostopoulos|Theophylaktos]]: I say this is great, given that we never got a chance to live in a mansion-like structure back there.
 
Athanasia: Glad to hear it.
 
Angelos: Now, Athanasia, shall we take a look around our new neighborhood then? It seems like we should pay a visit to the nectaries.
 
Athanasia: Lead the way, brother. Let us move, Kyriake, Theophylakte!
 
Angelos: Daughter, you may want to pay attention to the experts around here. They probably have expertise on fields that you probably have interest in.
 
Athanasia: Why encourage unladylike skills, brother?
 
Angelos: Because Kyriake has no other recourse. Besides, Kyriake might just pull something up.
 
Athanasia: Brother, this is not a good way to immortalize the family name.
 
Angelos: Relax, we've seen women in production industries before.
 
Athanasia: Like the fabricweavers of the feudal period? Ooh, how esteemed the position!
 
Angelos: Enough. We should remind ourselves who is the leader here.
 
Athanasia: And we should also remind ourselves who came up with this idea.
 
Angelos: Ha, but exert all the influence on your son, not my daughter.
 
Athanasia: My son needs only a small guidance. Your daughter needs whole-scale resocialization.
 
Angelos: Objection dismissed. We are going. Gah, this is why I hate arguments...
 
-On the road, right at the Syrian Peninsula of the Northwestern Islet-
 
Kyriake: So, father. It is a profound pleasure to join in the short informative trip. The Papal nectar culture is noted to be a leader, having outstripped the Champs les Sims in terms of quality and quantity.
 
Angelos: Indeed. Kyriake, you were always interested in this nectar thing. Now go onward, and raise some money for the family. "Sees a moving vehicle"
 
Athanasia: No... This cannot be... Move closer.
 
Angelos: Alright.
 
Athanasia: These Turks! These cowards are afraid of our bold move, and they dare emulate us to counter it?
 
Angelos: Calm down...
 
Athanasia: Calm down? Are you insane, brother? Our rivals are at our doorstep and your suggestion is to calm down? I wonder if your first reaction to an imminent enemy is to calm down. Now, we should lodge a complaint to these "Greeks" who rule this place. Have they no sense of the Ottoman imperialism?
 
Angelos: Now I am being riled up. By the why the what the xenoi the... Alright, moving on...
 
-Hugo's Orphanage-
 
Hugo: Felix, Emil! I've got some news for y'all.
 
Felix: What is it, gramps?
 
Hugo: We've got some more kids in your age level.
 
Emil: No way! We were feeling lonely for ages!
 
Felix: How did it become this way, gramps?
 
Hugo: More development. More people came over as this place gets shaped better.
 
Herakleia: But still a hunkled pile of mess compared to Sunlit Tides.
 
Hugo: Now, now, Herakleia, remember what happened back there.
 
Herakleia: But patron, Kallisto has no thoughts of improving the neighborhood! Kallisto is only interested in adding more industry, which just doesn't cut it!
 
Eirene: True, the industry crazy concept is dull at best. However, your beautiful Sunlit Tides is also a hunkle of unbalanced economic mess based pretty much entirely on tourism.
 
Herakleia: Don't you dare say another word in defense of this hellhole.
 
Eirene: Was I? I could have sworn that I was not.
 
Athena: Calm down, both of ya.
 
Eirene: Was I emotional? Meh, given that Kallisto works hard to make the Papal State immune, or at very least resistant fluctuating currency market.
 
Herakleia: Oh, so this thing is all about stability, eh? What about aesthetics?
 
Athena: What about it?
 
Herakleia: The fact that most of the residential lots look like crap. I'd wish that the rulers learned some architecture and design over there.
 
Athena: I hear that some new houses are popping out. They look considerably better.
 
Herakleia: Oh really?
 
Athena: Ya really. Look over here at the new house at the Fayuum Depression Road.
 
Herakleia: Hmm, not bad. Certainly a huge improvement, I have to give it to them.
 
Eirene: But then we will have to deal with more pesky classmates.
 
Athena: Eirene, that is no way to treat newcomers.
 
Eirene: Well, I'm pretty sure half of the newcomers are going to be celebrity worshipping nutheads.
 
Herakleia: Ah. We shall see...
 
Athena: Sometimes Eirene's cynicism do not look genuine.
 
Eirene: Some stuff are beyond stupidity.
 
-A few days later-
 
Edgardo (Robber): So, here's the newcomers' house, eh? Blasted Ecclesiarchy and the overpowered police have snuffed most of us into oblivion, but perhaps this is the chance.
 
Kyriake: "waking up" There is an ominous presence. Perhaps I should have warded against the evil eye<ref>The evil eye is a superstition in the Eastern Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cultures, although it also exist in the Hawaiian culture. As for the Greeks (and Middle Easterners in general), this is done with a [[Wikipedia:Nazar (amulet)|blue eye talisman]].</ref>. Footsteps? Intruder? "calls police"
 
Edgardo: -Enters the house- Ooh, what do we have here? A house with no alarms! Ah, the piece of jewelry...
 
Kyriake: There is a robber in our midst!
 
Edgardo: Heh, the craftsman is just a girl. Don't bother me, girl. I'm working on something here. "steals a tiberium piece"
 
Kyriake: Valuable investment going down the drain! "faints"
 
Edgardo: Well, you people do have a duty to us. "police arrives" Oh man. "after the fight" Well, I must take a leave here, girl. I do sincerely wish to accept more donations but...
 
-Next Day-
 
Edgardo: Wow, I got that sucker hard. Now I can finally claim myself superior to those goddamn law of the Papal St... "Bees swarm around the car" What is this? Why are there bees inside the car? -Leaves at the filming grounds- AAAAAAAHHHHH! Somebody help![[File:NoMercyForTheMisguided.png|thumb|No mercy for the misguided.]]
 
Kyriake: By the heavens, is that the robber? What amusement. I guess the evil eye's on him. What justice! Now to my worthless career... Gah, why is Athanasia so into me becoming a film star?
 
-Few hours later-
 
Stratonike: So you got yourself a new favorite, eh, Kallisto?
 
Kallisto: Yes indeed. I finally found someone with initiative. Heh, she even took advantage of the tiberium fields for crying out loud! Such knowledge of blessings is something to note, Stratonike.
 
Stratonike: And why in the world are you intervening?
 
Kallisto: Because the enemy of my ally is my enemy. Social netting is a duty of the rich indeed, and taxation is a means to that way. However, robbery does not involve terms. Hence such must be accounted for. Now, shall we cause a bit of combustion?
 
Stratonike: Kallisto, you are you as always.
 
Kallisto: But then down with the A=A.
 
Stratonike: Always. Now, what are we going to do with your new favorite?
 
Kallisto: We'll pay her a visit.
 
All this event however was put to a complete grind, Kallisto having evicted everyone out of Hekatonschoinos to make what Kallisto hopes is the last overhaul of the capital.

==Trivia==
 
*Aithalida signifies being a part of the deme Aithalidai of Athenai. In fact, Athena and Herakleia having opposite traits is a reference to Athens and Sparta: Eurypontids were one of the two regal families in Sparta, other being the Agiads. Of course, this also reflects the attitude towards women: Athenian view of women are much more conservative and women were to be submissive (hence Athena's shy trait), while Spartan womenswomen's were much more assertive and athletic (as to have bodies fit presumably for healthy children), hence Herakleia's social butterfly trait (which isn't necessarily a fit, although Herakleia also has handy trait, which is also not as fitting. Athletic (and to a lesser degree, Ambitious) trait a better fit, however, it should be noted that Spartan women had economic power, although it is the Roman women who dined with men). This however has no relationship in flirty/unflirty traits. Also, Athena was the patron deity of Athens, while Sparta had Artemis and Ares.
*As mentioned in the footnotes, Hugo's attachment of Kais and Aunel are of Tau origins in the Warhammer 40k lore.
