By Klaus….
Nothing is so strange than being back among humans and back to Earth after so many years away.
-Iron, I need access to the images from the camera ... - I type the commands on the console on the Spartackus bridge and mumble with irritation.
I try not to pay attention to the distant image of the quiet and serious man who looks without interest in the place. I'm getting in trouble again.
I may have given the crew every reason to be suspicious of me, but the girl doesn't fool me.
Zorack got carried away very easily by that pretty face to my anger.
Women! All I least expected was having to worry about women to get Zorack's attention. Except that with my bad luck it wouldn't be any girl.
-Do you really believe that it will work? - I'm not so sure. After all, why would it work?
Angel is the girl Zorack was looking for. The dominance he maintained over Gargoyles in an attempt to negotiate an opportunity to rescue this girl was almost my destruction in the past.
-I explained to you. What's about to happen ...
This is the problem when moving in time. I just wanted to be so sure that I'm doing it right.
The planet's guardians never interfere with the fate of the inhabitants of the fantastic human genome farm except for rare exceptions.
Argatha may no longer exist after the planet has been invaded. And as for Kalael for what I've been discovering in my lover's notes ...
-If it works and Kalael really escapes that trap, your plans will fail. - my observation seems very reasonable.
Pure logic. Cause and consequence. It is almost a mathematical formula.
When studying the "possibilities of time travel", time loops are usually left out ... And it is still a very specific type of time travel, which I qualify as the third possibility of time travel.
Time Loops or "loops in time" are situations that resemble a scratched disc. In them, time runs normally over a period (it may be a day, or a few hours, or any time, but at a certain point, time returns to the starting point, and the period we refer to is repeated. Someone lives one day normally, but at midnight he returns at midnight the previous day and is obliged to relive that period.
"Do you want to tell me what excuses I will make for you not to get in trouble?"
I'm in a dilemma like that. Timelines. The man in front of me has Zorack's face, has his voice and his smile and yet he's not the Zorack I know at all. He's a different Zorack. Ripened, older and bitter.
Several theories that are not worth explaining here say that a loop can be something that happens frequently in our world. However, when the time comes back (or "resets") people's memories go back in time, so we don't remember what happened - that way, we would never remember a time loop. It is one of the best-known theories to explain those famous déjà vu sensations.
And it seems acceptable
I may be totally crazy but I believe him.
-I explained to you that ...
I'm really in trouble. This older Zorack is really going to get me in trouble. It is not pleasant to know the future and worse and to try to change it. What the fuck.
-Yes, my dear. You already explained.- I reluctantly agree.- A traveller when spends a long time in the past is not part of that obsolete time matrix.
Simply put, it means that our cells die every day and others are subsisted. It gives a problem when its atoms are replaced by atoms from the past. Thus, an individual notion emerges and with new memories. Of course, the whole story changes if someone does that and their future disappears. Nothing more than the original timeline.
What a shit. But everything complicates when a traveller is taken from his original time and keeps coming back to the same time and place. And you won't have a timeline connecting all of these copies in successive trips.
-When Kalael arrives and the last humans have been rescued from the planet ...- Zorack's face looks even older.
It is the vision of someone who has suffered. My heart is heavy in my chest knowing that. AAAAAAAAAARGH. I'm going to freak out. And the whole point is that time travel is not that easy.
-But, boy ... the past cannot be changed in any way, can it? Thus, any attempt to change it by a traveller will cause the appearance of an alternative timeline, that is, a parallel universe.
My head is frying. The paradox of cause and effect: if the traveller changes some past event with the aim of changing the future, as soon as he did it, the original reason and the trip itself would cease to exist. The reason for the trip is its cause, if it disappears, the trip, which is its effect, also disappears. Changes in past facts may generate alternative futures.
-None of this will hinder the course of events. My self at that time is too stubborn to understand that. Damn it, Klaus. Holding kalael in the loop was a bad idea. It won't change the fact that he will kill Angel without me being able to stop it.
- Right, right. And your self from that time is in a vicious circle trying to save the girl. - I groan sighing. - How can you be so sure that Angel will survive this? Or me? Or the newest Zorack? You said yourself that we won't have much time after they cut off our energy and oxygen.
It is a low blow, but my last card. It is becoming unsustainable to hide from Zorack what happened to me.
The hand that strokes my face is warm and confident and he outlines one of his rare smiles that delight me. I love this man. What does he ask me that I am not able to do?
-Because of me, you and Angel my love, weare going to have a great night of celebration after the legal union is made official before the government of the Seven Towers of Édrin. I just need you to keep the girl alive and make sure Zorack doesn't end up doing anything crazy to stop it. The night that kalael arrives on the planet, Angel will be dead and my self condemned for crimes against space-time.
The boy is very fond of low blows. I can't imagine myself married by alien laws and that Angel is my partner. I don't even like the girl.
-You'll like it very much, my love. - Zorack smiles confidently at me.
Okay, all I need is just to find a way to end the circle that repeats itself endlessly. Do you want to tell me how to convince a stubborn younger Zorack that we should leave for Argatha?
There is a nest with eggs and a future daddy full of responsibilities. What a joke! My blood freezes at the thought of it. He will not risk the safety of the nest by making such a trip. Never!
And the look of that older Zorack who found and saved me is cold, cruel and scary.
-This nest will be the end of the rest of humanity on that basis. - he speaks softly and with the appearance of someone who has lived a long time.
I know that it comes from a very distant future time, in addition to my time and Zorack in our timeline in the Confederation.
-How can you be so sure of that? - I try to elicit answers that keep silent.
-Because it will be the new generation of K'aldriants without the need for hosts. It was eggs implanted with alien DNA in Angel's body when she fled the ship.
This is not a novelty that I will want to tell the Zorack I have always known. How can this future self be so sure?
-I, you and Angel will be dead as soon as Kalael decides to take revenge for the human. The Confederation's perfect biological weapon in the fight against Ravenack will cost our lives, Klaus. Just make sure the ship leaves the base so the nest can be destroyed.
