Chapter I The Titanic Mission
When a probe sent back by the Time Watchers group sees that the iceberg which the Titanic hit, was spotted later than it actually was, the group knew that the loss of life would be more horrific than it actually was. Knowing that someone had to go back and alert the lookouts sooner, it became apparent that the time traveler must be a woman to increase her chances of surviving by getting a seat in a lifeboat. Debby Fisher, an expert SCUBA diver, is asked to take on this mission. However, things go wrong fast and she must adapt in order to survive along with a passenger who had survived the original sinking.
Chapter II The Gold Rush Mission
California was a small port with a small population and nothing on the horizon until gold was discovered there. However, a time probe sent back to record that moment saw that the gold nugget was overlooked and the gold rush never took place. This kept the huge flow of migrants from China, Ireland and all of the other countries from entering California, keeping it a third rate state rather than the great state she became with the gold rush. Whoever the 1800 club sends back to that time period will have to face the many hardships of traveling across the early country, so they elect to send back a direct descendant of an American Indian. The prejudice against anyone not of their color does not make it easy for the time traveler to make sure the gold is discovered as history said it was. Along the way he befriends a few future champions of the law.
