“Things are very tense as no less than four emergency helicopters are on location at the site of the enigmatic Transporter, the time-machine that sends researchers one thousand years back into the past.”

“As we previously broadcast, the entire Saxon Traveller team, which consists of highly trained members of Special Forces from Great Britain, the United States, Australia and Canada, were sent back to Saxon Britain only last night.”

“We were prohibited from releasing that news due to a media blackout placed on journalists by the military overseer of the project, Captain Helen Murdoch.”

“Now you’ll see behind me that Professor Adrian Taylor, the historian in charge of Project Saxon Traveller, has just arrived and it looks like the men sent back in time are returning.”

“The presence of the helicopters suggests that there is an expectation of injury and we have been advised they were sent to rescue Traveller and member of Australia’s elite SAS, Sergeant Michael Hunter, but they became involved in a battle with Vikings.”

’Yes, that’s right, Vikings.”

“While we can’t yet provide any details, one can only imagine what it was like to become involved in a conflict in England’s past.”

“Wait, yes, the doors have opened and there is a stretcher being rushed to an awaiting chopper. The stretcher is being carried by men of Saxon Traveller. There are bandages and it looks as if one of their comrades has been badly wounded.”

“We’ve only recently been given the list of the names of members of Saxon Traveller, but we know that one of those carrying the stretcher is definitely the first Saxon researcher, Mike Hurley.”

“They’re in a hurry, so we can only assume this is a life or death situation, and wait, there’s a second stretcher. Quick, can you zoom in? Oh, my God, is that an arm? It looks like someone has been grievously wounded, they may have lost an arm, and they are being loaded into a second medical evacuation chopper.”

“Yes, there looks to be an arm wrapped in cling wrap.”

“My God, this is as surprising as it is horrifying.”

“And here’s a third stretcher. What has happened here? This stretcher is accompanied by Captain Murdoch, the officer in charge of training, and Professor Taylor, and a girl. Who’s the girl? We don’t know of any female participants in Saxon Traveller, so we’ll do our best to replace out who the girl is.”

“The remaining members of the Saxon Traveller squad have all boarded the last chopper. All are bandaged.”

“This is an horrendous scene here in Nottinghamshire as members of the Saxon Traveller Project have obviously been injured and are being evacuated to receive hospital treatment in what we can only assume is an emergency.”

“I repeat again, we have been informed that members of the Saxon Traveller team have engaged in a battle with Vikings, that is a battle one thousand years in the past.”

“We’re waiting for an explanation of what has occurred and as we are advised, we’ll be the first to let you know.”

“This is Brian Browning of BBC-1, with breaking news from the Saxon Traveller Project.”
