Gamma Testing comes before Beta; so no invites in yet. I’ll alter it to link once it’s got to a state where I’m comfortable with it.

At the moment, this is more of a countdown thread; just so I can mark off the bits and pieces I’ve got to do - but a little taster to be going along with.
In a single quirk of fate, England became a nation not of shopkeepers, but of superheroes. The Difference Engine altered the very physics of the Universe, or at least the English ones. Within a 300 mile radius of Bletchley Park, things just “happened”. Not just centaurs appearing in the New Forest, but Cambridge University stabilising cold fusion, Jodrell Bank locating alien signals & Harland and Wolff raising the Titanic with giant exo-skeletons.
Things that just weren’t possible in other countries became possible within this range. But it couldn’t travel.
Once out of range; the new exo-skeletons would seize up, aliens would grow ill and die, magic simply ceased. And within the range, things often went disastrously wrong, the Sellafield Nuclear Plant had to be closed after a portal to the Nuclear Realm was opened.
Of course, the other countries weren’t exactly happy with this situation; America’s Difference Engine works in a brief range around the Hollywood swampland but no further. Terrorism, Sanctions and Blockades were imposed on the UK until they found a way through this; while they couldn’t bring the “Difference” out, they could use the talents within to create for the rest of the world.
By the early 21st century, the export of wondrous new materials had brought the world back on England’s side. Immigration is still huge - and trouble exists around every corner - but Homo Britannica manages to exist quite well with the rest of the world.
Mostly.
That’s where you come in.
