Description
Toxic got up off the grass and wandered into the playground.Narchi said,"Camera two--follow Toxic!"
Sunshine said,"This was our only chance, and we're out of time, NOW. Mom--DON'T DIE!"
Toxic could be barely heard by the microphones on Rose as she said,"Poof! It's gone!"
Sunshine vanished.
On the surface, Kali ran over to Toxic and said,"You shouldn't draw the attention of locals to it! They'll get curious. TOO curious."
Toxic shrugged and smiled. Kali teleported away. Toxic came back to Rose, who looked upset. Haen had put away her double glaives and came over, asking,"You alright? It's not every day someone sees their future and a dark one,too."
Lime teleported there from the roof of the school. Dokka said to her over the radio,"Lime, relay me, please." He addressed the group,"Except for River King and Leviathan,Could the rest of you please see me in the briefing room in the next couple of minutes? That includes, you, too,Admiral Haen...if you're willing?"
Rose said,"Sunny uploaded a file to me which she said includes a message to me from myself and..."
Both Narchi and Haen exclaimed,"DON'T LOOK AT IT!"
Narchi snapped out,"DELETE IT UNREAD!"
Haen said,"If you haven't opened it, delete it RIGHT NOW. It's "GOD INFORMATION". It's a classic beginning of a Time Loop."
Narchi exclaimed,"WOOHOO for me! I'm finally thinking with the big boys on this one! Look--this information from the younger you will create a temporal loop in which the information will lose it's origin becoming orphaned or 'God Information' that will damage probability?"
Haen looked shocked and pleased. "You have someone VERY knowledgeable about taboo subjects!"
Captain Tkarro looked over at his chief engineer and asked,"What's this about?"
Narchi said,"It's something about Probability manipulation. I wouldn't think time-loops would harm us, but ALL the civilized species of the universe agree UNIVERSALLY that Time Travel is MAJOR suckage. Remember when Toxic made 175 tonnes of stuff appear on the Nautilus, after she re-attuned to the artifact? That's travel through alternate timelines created on a quantum level when choices are made. That's pretty much magic to most people around here."
Zeelob looked over and said,"I thought it was clever!"
Haen looked up at the ship in orbit and said to their camera,"Time Travel can restrict or even cancel some kinds of Probability interactions CATASTROPHICALLY, which might lead to your species becoming extinct."
Neblae exclaimed,"If time travel caused men to break in and shoot our dog, and WE're facing a future of being blown up while burning to death--SHOOT THE DAMNED DOG!"
Dokka Tkarro said,"We're ahead of ourselves, time-travel aside! Toxic! What were you doing? Veiwer to time index 3:12." The scene of where Toxic sat in the grass came up."Freeze there." He said,"Toxic. When you sat in the grass, WHAT were you looking at?"
Neblae said,"Kali and River Prince both look directly at the Nautilus, REALLY CREEPY! Haen guards Kali. King and Leviathan look at Kali. Toxic looks off at flying bugs?"
Toxic smiled and said,"NO!"
Dokka asked,"What were you looking at?"
"The floating thingy!"
Dokka groaned,"WHAT floating thingy?"
Toxic said,"The donutless donut hole! It got smaller and smaller and POOF was gone."
Narchi said,"Toxic MUST be able to perceive Spatio-Temporal Curvatures! So-called time-machines turn the curvature of time back on it's self for a moment to do it's magic. Physicists have been talking about it since special relativity! Toxic could see it count down until they were pulled back to the future!"
Neblae said,"The WHOLE thing give me a chill! Hearing about my death was scary."
Narchi said in a whimsical tone,"Why don't we seek out the Scourge and tell them what the Four Brothers plan for them?"
Dokka smiled."Don't need to. They'll find us. THEN we tell them AND the Asurans!"

Fantastic scene with all those characters! Great story!

I noticed Toxic and Prince in the last image, but had on idea what to make of it. I thought Kali was just being her usual snooty self. While I hate to go against universal opinion, especially when it includes Narchi, I think Neblae has a point in questioning this worry about catastrophic results of actions, when everything is about to go belly up. I'm a little weak on the Probability interactions, but it is the simultaneous explosion of the networked PTEs that destroyed virtually everything in range. Would cancellation of some kinds of Probability interactions effect the PTEs? Can they destroy the PTEs? I am curious about Rose sending herself a message. That sounds like the thought of going into the past was at least considered fairly early on. I forgot about Sunny saying she only had 19 minutes. So she had limited control over her actions. If they are able to change this reality, will anything change for her? Will she know? It seems like a temporary alliance with the Scrouge and Asurans is being contemplated. That would be interesting. Great episode! Wonderful image!

Hmmm, Temporal physics will definitely twist your head! According to the latest theories, paradoxes are not possible, either one creates a closed timelike loop, and thus a separate branch of reality, or simply the fact that something has happened means it happened no matter what. I've heard it mentioned that the donut hole is the best part!

This would be very hard to expalin and you did a great job of it.
