Cycle Theory

Cycle Theory is an opinion held by some members of the PPC, particularly in the Infrastructure Departments, that the PPC is regressing - that its methods and technology, having reached a peak in the era of the Lord of the Rings films, is now moving back towards the original Organisation's levels. Examples they cite include:


 * The issuing of TARDISes to many Agents, allowing them to undertake missions without setting foot in the Word World until the very end.
 * The acquisition by the PPC of a number of Sun Crushers and other world-destroying hardware, which allow the Protectors to return to the old methods of simply blowing up everything in view.
 * The creation of the Mass Neuralyzer, which removes the need for personal action in neuralyzing Canons.
 * The use by some Agents of old-fashioned fixed portals, built into the Console rather than free-standing.
 * The increasingly heavy-handed actions of the Department of Internal Affairs, which seem to hearken back not to the Organisation but to the Department of Internal Security, may or may not be relevant.

Of course, it is only a theory...
