The Multiverse Monitor

The Multiverse Monitor is a publication distributed in PPC HQ. It has been described as 'regenerating '; every few years, long after the previous version has died, the name is picked up by a new editorial team and attached to some new variant. The Monitor usually seems to operate out of Response Centre #14.

The 2013 Incarnation
The most recent version of the Multiverse Monitor is a news magazine. Its first edition was released in April 2013 HST. Its Editors work out of RC #2536 and may or may not be operating under the pseudonyms Anon E. Maus and Nita Incog. In-universe, it seems to have been in circulation for longer than we've seen, as the first published issue has feedback referencing articles in previous issues written.

Issue One
The first edition of the Multiverse Monitor had four cover stories: It also included the first examples of two regular features:
 * The Blackout which had recently affected HQ, and the consequences thereof. (Main cover story)
 * An interview with the Doctor from Doctor Who.
 * A piece about the Doctor's companion Clara beating Agent Omicron at PPC Cluedo.
 * A discussion of Agents Christianne Shieh and Eledhwen Elerossiel finally becoming a couple.
 * Canon Character of the Month: Madoka Kaname
 * Canon Location of the Month: Rivendell

The 2006-2007 Incarnation
This Multiverse Monitor was a short lived British-style tabloid that ran for fourteen issues from March 2006 until June 2007, HST. The initial plan was for it to be monthly, but the final six months were on bimonthly basis. Interestingly, issues eleven through fourteen have not been linked from the Monitor's main page. At the end of Issue Fourteen, it was announced that the paper would be taking a hiatus until the end of the year. It never started up again.

A running theme in the tabloid, which was edited by Agents Starwind Rohana and Estelnar Celebduin, was supposed debauchery among the Flowers. Whether any of this was true or not remains open to debate, usually somewhere the Flowers can't overhear.

Issue One
The first issue of the Multiverse Monitor featured two cover stories regarding (the heavily elaborated, if not completely made up) romantic conquests of both the Sunflower Official and Dafydd Illian. Equally noticeable in this issue is the beginning of a series of Page Three images - in this case, a photo of Agent Suicide in the shower. This issue began the tradition of advertisements.

Issue Two
The second issue of the Multiverse Monitor featured two cover stories - one regarding Agent Keily Shinra suffering from Mary Sue Syndrome, the other a how-to guide for 'Sue taxidermy. This issue also started including letters from readers. It also featured the first 'Lust Object of the Month'.

Issue Three
The third issue of the Multiverse Monitor featured two cover stories; one asking about the HQ Pool ('Does it really exist?'), and one claiming to expose the 'secrets of the Plants' - namely, that the Marquis de Sod has 'a few bends in his stem'. This issue was also the first to feature horoscopes.

The fourth issue of the Multiverse Monitor featured two cover stories; one describing the invasion of HQ by a (tiny) Dalek (made of pipecleaners), and one asking who was to replace the Wisteria as Head of Operations. This issue ran immediately after the Crashing Down crisis.

The 2003-ish Incarnation
There was a Multiverse Monitor many years ago, sometime around 2003 ; however, its issues have since been lost to the Internet. It was presented in a single-page newssheet format, and featured (among other things) a Plotbunny Adoption Center.
