Chases through Time

Somewhere in Philadelphia, this minute, is an incredible anachronism, an intelligence from the Mars, one that will exist a thousand years from now. And he is planning death.

It looks like there was something about that swim in the river that threw me back ten years!

We got the meal ready, and then someone said, “Where is Grandfather?”

Unseen by human eyes, the two mighty spirit images race thru time and space . . .

Ninety years ago I was a freak; today I am an amateur.

Greetings to the council. As you may have gathered, I have survived the pathetic trap set by Trooper Deth on Mecon 7. For twelve long years, you have hunted my disciples like dogs. Now, my day of vengeance is at hand. I’ve synthesized a time drug, and in a moment shall retreat down the dark corridors of history. Know that it is I who is solely responsible for your demise. One by one, your ancestors shall be murdered, and you, their progeny, shall cease to exist. Then shall I return, join my legion, and claim the seat of power for my own. Adieu . . . adieu . . . 

What if Cole came back to set off a chain of events that would eventually destroy the one man who stood in his way?

The man you seek is in this world no longer. You must travel to another time to find him.

“There’s nothing to return to.” Eliot’s knuckles bulged at the seams, but she didn’t yell. “When the Fade destroys a moment, it’s lost. Forever.”

Nisreen: I want to know how it is different and why he wanted to change it. Don’t you see? That’s how the world was supposed to be.

Ramazan: Assuming no one else had gone back and changed things before he did.

You come to the conclusion that you can correct everything if you stop yourself before you steal the time machine.

I’ve been chasing him for years and forever. Spinning through time and space without a sail.

Appears to be a standard sequence violation. Branches growing at a stable rate and slope. Variant identified.

Oh, you mean weʼre talking about last time? That kind of twisty thing I was doing with the warp field to make it shift in the time dimension?

Young Adam: I mean if this is happening to me, that means that it already happened to you—right?—unless it works more like a multiverse where each ripple creates an alternate timeline—
Middle-Age Adam: It isn’t a multiverse! My god, we watch too many movies.
