Bill Trundle

Biography

Bill Trundle is a 27 year old scientist at the Plymouth Museum of Science and History. In the year 1991, Bill discovered an upcoming disaster on an apocolyptic scale. This became known as the Timeslip. Bill built a machine called the Timeslip Net, which would absorb energy like a black hole and prevent the Timeslip.

Bill predicted that the Timeslip would occur at about midnight on December 31, 1999. The Timeslip Net was completed after a few years, and was activated. It did exactly what it was supposed to do, and the Timeslip was prevented. Afterwards, the entire team of scientists and physicists who worked on the Timeslip Net celebrated until about 4:00, when Phil Wilson, Bill's best friend, finally went home.

 The Ashirman Emperor 

Bill went to lock the door to the Timeslip Net, and accidentally released a large amount of energy and radiation. the Timeslip Net collapsed under its own pressure and exploded. However, Bill did not die. Instead, the energy sent him 686 years to the future.

When Bill woke up, an Ashirman scientist and doctor named Golar was tending to his wounds. Golar told Bill about the Ashirmans' lie to the humans and how they tried to kill off the entire race. Golar trained Bill to stop Oncar, the leader of the Ashirmans.

Bill was supposed to pretend to be a Server, or a human who fought on the Ashirmans' side, and sneak onto Kylask, the Ashirman mothership. Bill was found out, though, and he had to escape the clutches of the Ashirmans in order to get to Kylask.

Unfortunately, by the time he got to Kylask, he found out that Oncar was already on his way to Golar's shack to kill the 18th scientist and finish the job that Gosham couldn't. Bill was captured by Heekem, but he pushed the alien into a pit of superheated magma and fled. At a loss, He stole a Superflight shuttle from the shuttle bay and rushed to Golar's shack.

As Bill got close to Golar's shack, Oncar and an army of Ashirmans were nearing the hideout of the alien scientist. With no other means of attack, Bill flew the Superflight shuttle directly into the group of soldiers. Only Oncar survived.

Bill also survived, because he wasn't in the Superflight during the crash. He was automatically pulled back to the year 2000, where he was fined for destroying vital laboratory equipment. He was fired from the Plymouth Museum of Science and History, along with Phillip Wilson, who insisted that Bill was innocent until evidence was provided that proved otherwise. Phil got a new job at the museum as a security guard. Bill, however, could not get another job. He wrote a book about his experience, called "Ashire", the profits of which have been his sole means of financial support.

The Alien Emerald

Bill Trundle was contacted by Golar on the morning of June 6, 2012 through the Hologram-Face Machine. Golar explained that the Ashirmans were about to abduct him from his shack. Bill agreed to use the newly repaired Timeslip Net to get to the future, but before he could, Golar was captured. Bill fell asleep, and was awakened by Heekem, who had used the Silver Staff to reach Bill. Heekem claimed that the Ashirmans from the year 2698 knew that Bill was coordinating with Golar, and that they would have to kill Bill to prevent Oncar's death.

Bill fought Heekem off by attacking him with the Hologram-Face Machine and rushed to the Plymouth Museum of Science and History. He set the Timeslip Net to release enough energy to take him to the exact same location he was at when he left the future. Before he could activate it, though, Phillip Wilson caught Bill tampering with the Timeslip Net. He told Bill that he had contacted the police, but that he would allow Bill to escape.

Bill fled to the local coffee shop in town, but he left the door to the Timeslip Net Chamber open a crack. While he was at the coffee shop, eighth grade graduates Paul Ginuous, Bazzil Kuckoo, and Melissa Kern accidentally locked themselves in with the Timeslip Net. With no way out, they accidentally released some of the energy that was stored inside it.

Bill walked past the museum and found police cars outside of it. He was brought inside for questioning by Edward Lopez, one of the scientists on the team who built the Timeslip Net. Phil allowed Bill to escape the museum. Bill went home, grabbed the remains of the Hologram-Face Machine, and returned to the Plymouth Museum of Science and History.

When Bill returned, he convinced Phil Wilson and Edward Lopez to allow him into the Timeslip Net Chamber. He used the pieces of the Hologram-Face Machine and the pieces from the remains of the Timeslip Net to create a new machine that would allow him to get Paul, Bazzil, and Melissa back from the year 2698. However, before he could get the new invention completed, the FBI interrupted and took control of the investigation. Bill had to break several other laws to "convince" the FBI to let him continue work on the machine.

After Paul, Bazzil, and Melissa were returned to 2012, Bill was not arrested. The children had proof that Bill was telling the truth about the Ashirmans: the Ashirman Emerald. The FBI promised not to press charges against Bill, Paul, Bazzil, and Melissa as long as they didn't try to spread the word about the alen invasion which would happen within the next 700 years.
