History:
(Vampire Tales#9/3 (fb) - BTS) - In the 24th Century, the Energy
Commission attempted to tap into the wasted energies of the past.
However, the process by which they did this began to transport
inhabitants from the past into their present. This transport was
referred to as Interfacing, and those brought forward as
Primitives.
(Vampire Tales#9/3 (fb) - BTS) <2310> - Melissa Morgan, a singer and actress was transported from the early 20th Century to Earth-7592.
(Vampire Tales#9/3)
<April 24, 2311> - David St. Francis, a vampire, was
transported from 1902 to the Brooklyn borough of sub-city New
York, meta-city Boswash. After fleeing from the sudden exposure
to sunlight, St. Francis tried to vamp a woman he encountered,
but he fell into an express tube, transporting him to Midtown.
After figuring out what had happened to him, St. Francis began
finding new victims.
<May 1, 2311> - Due to increasing crime caused by the Primitives, the Energy Commission authorized the capture/neutralization/execution of any and all Interfacers. They were unwilling to lose the energy supply as would happen if they reversed the temporal field effect. However, as there had been no active police force for some time, the efforts to capture the Primitives was less than a success.
<May 2, 2311> - That same night, St. Francis vamped Dia and slew her boyfriend, Pol.
<May 9, 2311> - The containment program
was designated a failure.
St. Francis encountered Melissa Morgan, whom
he remembered from having seen her in an opera three weeks before
in his time. The two quickly fell in love. Melissa was bitter
over the process that had stolen from her both fame and fortune,
and St. Francis vowed to make the people of this future world pay
dearly.
<May 10, 2311> - Twenty-five men and women were found slain, drained of blood.
<September 2, 2311> - As the murder spree
reached a new height, Melissa noticed a man following her, and
suspected that he was a Primitive like them. St. Francis blew off
her concerns initially, but then thought better of it and
returned to Melissa's home early AM. He found her dead, with her
throat slit open. Her killer then pulled out a stake and killed
St. Francis as well. The killer was from the past, and had blamed
St. Francis for driving the people from the streets at night and
so he had to punish St. Francis. The killer was...Jack the Ripper.
A security report filed that morning reported
the finding of the dead bodies of two Primitives, one unusually
decayed.
Comments: Created by Gerry + Carla Conway and Virgilio Redondo.
It is possible that Earth-7592 is the same world to which Justice Peace referred to as the one from which he'd come in pursuit of the Zaniac, though there is little evidence one way or the other.
Not anymore. Justice Peace's reality was identified as Earth-869371.
