Freymuth" Subject: Slide Before You Leap - Part 0 (fwd) Message-ID: First of all I'd like to say hi to all you Leapers out there who are willing enough to read my little story. However, I thought it would only be fair to warn you about this short story. First of all, this is a Quantum Leap/ Sliders crossover story but with an unusual twist. We all know that the Sliders slide from one reality to another so I got to thinking: why can't there be alternate realities to the Quantum Leap world? With a few suggestions from my brother (who happens to bring me some great ideas) we came up with the scenario in this short story. Just to let all of you QL fans out there know, be prepareed to see a lot of Sam and Al action BUT NO LEAPING! Second of all, I have no idea how long this is going to be but I estimate about ten to fifteen parts. DISCLAIMER: The work you will be reading is a fictional piece of art(!!). If there is any resemblance to an actual event that you know of, COOL! let me know! The characters are the creation of Tracy Torme, Robert Weiss, and Donald P. Bellasario and there are situations which also may be attributed to them. Further more, the characters are the property of St. Claire Entertainment and Universal and are used without permission but please don't sue me. Also, this piece is an original work so please don't plagarize it. If you want to use it, get my permission first. Thank you. IF YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHO THE CHARACTERS ARE, READ ON. IF NOT, GO TO PART ONE (or two or three or whichever part you're on). Warning! This little character list is VERY brief! If you want a better description of the characters, check out the Sliders or Quantum Leap FAQs! >From SLIDERS: Quinn Mallory - a young genius in his early twenties who discovered a doorway to other worlds (parallel worlds) to our own. Wade K. Wells - a friend of Quinn's who would rather be more than friends with him. Upon seeing Quinn's discovery, she convinced Quinn and Professor Maxillian Arturo to "try it out" as it were. The three "Slided" together. Professor Maxillian Arturo - physics teacher at California University. He's Quinn's teacher and prides in Quinn as his protege. Rembrandt "Crying Man" Brown - former lead singer for the "Spinning Tops", he was on his way to sing the National Anthem at Candlestick Park when he went down a street he shouldn't have and wound up Sliding with the other three. >From QUANTUM LEAP: Admiral Albert Calavicci - Naval rear admiral who works with Dr. Samuel Beckett on a project call Quantum Leap -- an experiment in time travel. Dr. Samuel Beckett - Nobel prize winner in physics, he received funding from the government to start an experiment in time travel based on his own theories. According to the television series, Sam "leaped" prematurely and as such is trapped in the past "putting right what once went wrong" in an attempt to find a way back to his own time. Admiral Calavicci assists him by giving information useful (and sometimes not so useful) for him to accomplish his missions. Tina - Al's girlfriend who works at Project Quantum Leap READY? SET?
