I was investigating a crime scene when I found Goren under the carpet searching for clues. Apparently it was also a crossover episode, as I believe I spotted Munch or Briscoe in the opening credits. Later, my investigation took me to a residential airship, where I was assisted by a young, female witness. The natives were rather hostile.
Meanwhile, Speed and Delko were visiting some sort of store on Stair Road, which was apparently on the coast of Florida due to the cornfield across the road flooding. A shootout ensued, resulting in the deaths of both CSIs. But I went back and tried again; in the second version, Delko survived.
Taking along a civilian toward the end of the first paragraph may have been influenced by CMs for
White Collar. (Yeah, I watch so much TV that I dream about shows I haven't even seen.)
The latter paragraph's divergent realities were related to something else that I was considering lately. Back in my less realistic days when I thought about designing video games, one of the ideas I had (perhaps itself inspired by CHRONO TRIGGER, for all I can remember) was about a protagonist who hibernates, only waking during important turning points in history, thus seeing the long-term effects of her decisions in the past. I recently brought the idea back to mind after considering a freeware game engine for visual novels, which I discovered in the game I've mentioned
here and
here. The idea was to base it on the character of Lilith, a resident of
"Earth" who is cursed due to her rebellion from YHWH to be hunted down and killed every time her followers reincarnate her. This would be intertwined strongly with
Project AnthraXX, including subsuming the numerous background stories set in
the distant past. Of course, an epic of that magnitude would be a full project rather than a shōrt, so I'm not sure how likely I am to make it. I also thought of a similar one set in the Grim Darkness of the Far Future. It would be a lot of work for something that's in someone else's universe and thus not something I can sell, but at least it would take less drawing than
Abdiel.
