Vern, no! I'm here from the future to give you a message. It was you going back in time that threw his system clock out of alignment to begin with! You were trying to be helpful, but ended up tripping some very sensitive extra-terrestrial security counter-measures. In my time, you have all died as an indirect result of that tampering...most of the planet has. The few of us that are left are forced to live in caves, to fend off the roving Centauri and Orion armies with rocks and sharp sticks... I managed to recover Charlie's time machine after the Orions neutralized him. I was able to jury-rig it to work, but had only enough fuel left for one trip so I spent decades poring the history scrolls. I think I found the right pressure point in time and place to push in order prevent this all from happening. I needed to come stop you from going back, to stop you from messing with that acursed Centauri system clock. The Orions must not be alerted to Charlie's presence, his cover must be kept. The neutral zone must remain stable! Everything depends on it. The future is in your hands... Help me, Vern Ceder, you're my only hope. > After all, everyone knows that the only way to fix the mess caused by > time travel is more time travel... > > Rob Ludwick wrote: > > You know after reading through this thread, I feel like I'm in one of > > those bad (or good depending on your point of view) Star Trek episodes > > where a riff in space-time has been opened, and only Data can fix it by > > putting the chronotons in all three reference frames at the same time. > > > > --R There was more than one of those? -- -Simón A.
