Number one, we JUST popped out of the past and they attack. Why not keep attacking? I wasn't even winning. Two, they get my name. Let's say there's some sort of sudden scheme where they manipulate me with someone who looks like my relative. How did they know who was going to come through the time platform to prepare something like that? Lastly, say it's actually working. They got me going. That's my future baby-girl.

YOU might not have been winning, but I was. It could be a ploy, it might not be. Even if it’s all true, then they can keep us talking there until Kharne shows up, I don’t know. But I do recall you hesitating with me way back when, and it could have got you killed.” He looks at her. “You’re not emotional until you are.

We're away from them now, so now you're going to have to listen to my thoughts." And we all know she has a never ending stream of THAT shit. "First off, here's what I DO know. Kharne. That's who that vault belonged to. We know this. Zack made it sound like it was a well kept secret so I doubt anyone else was using the warp pad. A warp pad to the future. WHY the future? To know what happens? To plan against it and ensure a victory? Future tech? Possible. But that brings us to the pads themselves. Unless the pad time travels along with us...which makes guarding it sort of stupid at that point...then it sounds like you need one to go one way and another to go the other way. Which came first? Did they have time travel technology already in our time? Did they create the pad in the present, warp to the future of all places and then have another built? OR. Was it the other way around? Using future technology to create the pad, then bringing that knowledge to the present and building another one to port back and forth...but that has a lot of implications, doesn't it?" She nods to herself, crossing her arms and starting to tap her foot. For now she lets Sam process that. Back to Top   It has begun. El Sensei Sensei El Jefe I control the universe!

We've heard those other people use each other's names. All but one, but, I think I can guess what it is. The Director's new triplets were named Jack, Wysteria and Daniel. The one with the scars was called Jack, and someone called the girl Wysti. I don't think there are many names that match the nickname "Wysti" so that's two checks. I'm guessing the one with the guns is Daniel, and they're either the director's kids in the future, or they assumed those identities. So either the director and I may have been expected to somehow get a hold of that warp pad and get here, or they're really all that's left of Paradigm." Back to Top   It has begun.

Nicky sighs. "Staying away from them and expecting them to be fully committed to the Empire is keeping us from finding out more. They're obviously in a position where they interact with Kharne. Their knowledge of what happened is too valuable. Talking to civilians would only get us so far, and at this point you already know you can stand up to what they can do. So." She glances back towards where they left the group. "Take one. Probably the one you injured already. That'll probably set them all after us, but, at the moment this is the future we're looking at if you don't make the most out of being here. We also only have so much time before Kalhan is in trouble. Or Kharne himself shows up." Or future Chazz. She almost shivers. Back to Top   It has begun.
