Section III
About the Office
What if Rome never fell? What if the Library of Alexandria survived? What if Earth had two moons?
The Divergence Office takes one change to history or science and follows it, step by step, through what really happened and what the evidence allows. Full investigations on the main channel, quick dispatches in Shorts, a new case file every day.
Standing order 01
Real history. Real science.
Every case is built on the record: real events, real research, real people. Speculation is labelled as speculation.
Standing order 02
Sources on file
Sources are cited on screen and in every description, because even alternate history deserves proper paperwork.
Standing order 03
Every case, a verdict
The Clerk hears the objections, weighs the evidence, and closes the file with a stamp.
