[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?

Sort of, I'm quite well-read, you could say! The mortals have come up with all kinds of cool theories about how things work.

[DOUBLE TAKE TIME]

Mi scusi, the mortals? Do you claim to be immortal?

[badnewsboy]

I need not claim. I'm a god of Asgard.

[It may not have been the proper response but his reaction was to tilt his head to one side and laugh. ]

How powerful can man become if even the Gods can be brought to this place.

[Not sure if he actually believes the guy or not, but it did lighten his mood a touch!]

[badnewsboy]

[a very tiny little god.]

Well, you know, they've certainly made a mess of things, they have to be choosey when they wish to bring others here.

[deadlybanker]

[He never would have suspected!]

What they should have done and what they did instead were vastly different things.

[He has to ask you know. One doesn't speak to a GOD without asking. ]

If you are a God would you not know the best answers to those questions, maybe even how to get the best outcome from this situation?

[badnewsboy]

[no one ever does, soooooo tiny.]

Er ... this sort of situation? Hm, well ... we're to acquire a metallic vehicle with the capabilities, and then we travel at a speed of eight-eight miles per hour, and then—[smacks his hands together for the effect]—Boom! Time travel!

[deadlybanker]

You do enjoy speaking in riddles.

What good would a vehicle like that do for us?

[badnewsboy]

The time travel is always of some use, especially if time is feeling particularly un-linear.

[deadlybanker]

I fail to see what good it has done so far.

[badnewsboy]

Here? Thus far? Well, that's yet to be seen, isn't it? Or seen at all.

[deadlybanker]

We have seen some of the changes. We went from an island full of people and constant rain to one of snow where most of the people were removed. This does not seem a change for the better.
