A young Ace once wore "[[Alice's father|her dad]]'s old dress jacket" to the youth club dance with someone called [[Misha (Republica)|Misha]]. She got [[Slur|called]] "[[queer]]" and the memory remained painful, coming back to her when she was referred to as "a queer fish" by a guileless stranger in unrelated circumstances.

The Professor and Ace once visited [[1990s]] [[England]] only to discover that history had been [[Alternate timeline (Republica)|dramatically altered]] by an escaped [[Ithacan]] criminal known as [[LeCompte]]. Convincing [[Oliver Cromwell]] to appoint [[John Lambert]] as his successor instead of [[Richard Cromwell]], LeCompte had allowed Cromwell's Protectorate to survive for centuries, meaning that this late-20th-century England remained a totalitarian [[republic]] ruled by a [[Lord Protector]]. The Professor and Ace further discovered the truth about LeCompte's origins, and that he was actually trying to steer [[Earth]]'s technological development so that he could direct its military forces back at his homeworld in revenge for his exile. However, realising that (unbeknownst to LeCompte) the wormhole back to LeCompte's homeworld was also a [[time rift]], the Professor tricked him into his own doom by allowing him to fire the war rocket ''[[Behemoth (Republica)|Behemoth]]'' through the wormhole, laying waste to the past version of [[Ithaca]], killing LeCompte's past self, and consequently cancelling out his alterations to the timeline. Ace was horrified at the Professor destroying this version of history, aberrant as it was.
