[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?

What's the past matter to you?
no subject
It sounds odd to say, but for me the past was meant to be my present. I was pulled here from the year 1476.

Aaa. . . but you're here now, right? [ every response languid but unhesitating. ] What's it matter?
no subject
Does your home mean so little to you that you never worry what happened when you left it?
I have people there I care about, a family to watch over, I may be here now but I would rather be there with them.

[After pitching a tantrum and coming to understand that Ezio HAD likely gone home instead of left behind when they were sent to the moon, but... details. ]
What kind of life could they lead here in this place of ice and eternal cold?

Even more reason for them to remain where they are. It is difficult enough to provide for one person, a wife and children would suffer too much.
Would you really wish those you care about to end up here, struggling for everything that is required to live?
