We'll talk about your career choices when we finish off the Vanderweele problem.

Time travel. I've heard crazier, but not by much. You got any ideas on how that'll mess with the future yet? I mean, I assume we're going to the past to kill Vanderweele before he can start all this shit.

[recollecters]

You'd think that, but not exactly. You can't kill him in the past because that'll disassemble the current present which is that past's future, but there are other things that can be done. Taking away his powers, reorganizing how the company structured things...it's basic time travel lore.
I got to thinking about the past and how people wanted to be able to change how things were. So I dug around in the notes.
It might be the way to bring the Company back, too. Get their memories fixed and stuff.
I've been studying the programming to install on the app itself.

[this next message takes a bit to come through.]

How much changing of the past are we talking.

We'll still be the way we are by the end of it, right? Us rank and file people.

[recollecters]

That'll be up to you, Anna.
...think of it like temporary time travel. A sneak peek into what could have been before we make final decisions and plug them into the programming and rewrite history.
Those who want to stay the same can, and those who don't can fix things.
But it's a tricky balance. We can't change too much about ourselves but the city and Vanderweele and the founders? That's all free game as long as Vanderweele's still alive in 2019.

This is a lot of dangerous power you're giving us, Zee.

I'm glad you trust us with it, but this is going to be a lot. And I don't know if I trust everyone who's left to use it responsibly, but that's a risk you've got to be willing to take when the reward is this big.

I think you're giving me a lot of things to think about right now. I'm still here if you need me for anything this month, but... god, that's a lot of power.

[recollecters]

I know. Trust me, I know, but I can't and don't want to be the one doing this myself. For something this drastic?
...it's a dangerous idea, but I want to believe the people who're left won't abuse it. I get it, it's a lot of trust in you guys but...well. We're still here, aren't we?
I'm open to other suggestions and I can't even guarantee it's going to work.
But that's my project for the month while you guys are exploring and stabilizing other areas.
If they're stable on this end, they should be stable on the other end.

[hauntedsavior]

You don't know how many times I've thought about being able to go back in time and change things.

We're both lucky that there are bigger things in play here.

[recollecters]

For now.
I'd like to hear those thoughts anyway though when you have the time and inclination.

[hauntedsavior]

We'll save it for our first couch session. See, there's another reason for both of us to get through this alive.

[recollecters]

How could I ever say no to that?
I'll keep it in mind.
And in the meantime...I'll focus on timejumps and alternate universes. See if anything sticks out.
