Timeline

 * Distant past
 * On Planet One, the oldest planet in the universe, River Song carves a message for the Doctor in a diamond cliff.


 * 102
 * In an alternate timeline which may have been erased by Big Bang Two, 102 is the year in which the Alliance imprisons the Eleventh Doctor in the Pandorica under Stonehenge. It is also the year in which an Auton version of Rory Williams kills Amy Pond and their two-millennia journey to 1996 begins.


 * 118
 * The Pandorica is taken to Rome under armed guard, (TV: The Big Bang) followed by Rory (AUDIO: Gladiator) who becomes the official assassin (AUDIO: The Unwilling Assassin) and eventually emperor, before abdicating and bring the Pandorica back to England. (AUDIO: I, Rorius)


 * 1066
 * Rory assists King Harold Godwinson in the Battle of Hastings during the Norman conquest of England, evidently as his top general. (PROSE: The Constant Warrior)


 * 1666
 * Rory befriends Samuel Pepys, and saves the infant daughter of Pepys's baker during the Great Fire of London before he bids farewell to Pepys and travels to the city. (PROSE: The Constant Warrior)


 * 19th century
 * Rory became the inspiration for political cartoonists. (PROSE: The Constant Warrior)


 * 1934

 * 1941
 * During the London Blitz, Rory is spotted moving the Pandorica out of harm's way during a bombing, but after that the Last Centurion disappears from history and is believed killed or destroyed.


 * 1940s
 * Dalek bomb Bracewell gets his hands on one of the final paintings by Vincent van Gogh, found in an attic in France. He shows it to Winston Churchill. Without understanding what it means, they recognise it as a message for the Doctor. Churchill tries to telephone the Doctor, but is diverted to River Song in the 52nd century, alerting her to its existence.


 * Easter 1996
 * Auton Rory Williams finishes his job guarding the Pandorica at the National Museum. A version of Amelia Pond rescues her older, nearly deceased self, who has been inside the Pandorica since 102, with the younger Amy's DNA. The Eleventh Doctor, having taken a vortex manipulator from 102, seems to be killed by a Stone Dalek. River Song kills it shortly afterward. This is a ruse to sneak past and fly the Pandorica with the Doctor inside into his exploding TARDIS to reboot the universe, which is being destroyed by the Time Field.

 * River Song arrives some time in the early morning before sunrise after the TARDIS lands there. She investigates Amy's house and finds a book on Pandora's box and a Roman Britain book beside Amy's bed. She takes them for analysis in the TARDIS shortly before the Silence explodes the TARDIS on this date,cracking all of time and space. Amy and Rory get married after the Eleventh Doctor, with Amy's help, has restored the universe to its original condition.
