[It is a very solemn Giovanni who addresses everyone today. Maybe it’s due to the cold which, admittedly was a problem that even an extra wrap could not quite solve, but more likely it was due to the book on Renaissance history that was sitting open faced on his lap. He had finally found the time to read the book he had traded Cat (a.k.a. Arya Stark) for and the manuscript held a grim glimpse into the future. ]

We are brought here, told that changing the past is the way to correct the future but I find myself wondering if that is true. Has anything that has been done really been for the best? Those who were native in Exsilium before our arrival have been nearly entirely wiped from history. Instead of correcting the troubles with these ‘nuclear bombs’ we have only plunged the planet into a deep cold. Now we are told we must do more of these missions to gather supplies and correct these new problems. Does it ever end?

I wonder how many of you agree with this. Is changing the past in this manner something you feel is right?

[His voice took on an even softer tone as he thought back on what he had read. ]

What would you do if you had future knowledge of a terrible event? Would you journey to the past to stop it from happening or would you be too concerned it might cause something even worse to occur?

Having had someone come back to do exactly that, I am pretty much banking on an inevitable disaster and or permanent damage to the fabric of reality again. But I also have to admit we have a distinctly limited amount of options for at least obtaining supplies available right now.

[That was a cheery forecast. ]

We are ill equipped for this kind of weather, but if gathering things from the past can permanently damage reality...

[What ever that really meant.]

Should we even be doing it? It has even been suggested by one that we could set up farms or small serfdom in the past to supply us here. I can not help but see this as a terrible idea.

I don't really pretend to be an expert on this kind of thing, that's for my teammate...but I'm thinking it's already dangerous enough to be bringing people here, let alone raiding the past. It's meddling with the fabric of reality, and that's more fragile than most people think. If I had a better option, for some of these things...but we should do it as little as possible.

I am sure I do not understand all of the details of time travel either, but it does sound dangerous. There must be a way of gathering supplies in this time without robbing them from the past.

That I don't know. That's gonna depend on a lot of factors. If I could find a way to do it without having to disrupt the timeline at all, ever, I would do it, but nothing's come to mind yet. It's enough to make a man feel desperate.

[Desperate. Yes... that was very close to the feeling he was having. ]

Si, it can, but desperation can be dangerous. We should try to find a means to solve these issues without resorting to desperate acts.

This is easier said than done however.
