Time. A weird kind of concept, isn't it? I've been thinking about it a lot lately…this whole "time" thing, the way the map's been laid out, and how this project came into fruition.

I've been able to get a read on some stuff, and I've been transcribing notes from the company. Your app should have some new upgrades now thanks to a handful of factors none of which were my own ideas. I did the legwork, but the groundwork was provided. Thanks, you know who you are.

We're rerouting for higher security, anonymity and the chance to overlap. Which means…what…?

Here's a question for you. Where have you wanted to go more than anywhere in the worlds? A time, a place, anything like that. There's a theory about alternate timelines I might be looking into based on company research. What've we got to lose at this rate?

Strip the defenses in the past, unveil the man behind the curtain in the present, secure the future. Someone told me this kind of thing was a lot of power to trust on you guys…but isn't that all we can do now? Trust each other and test the waters.

No missions this month. I checked out everything in Respatrum and Bosuma and it seems that the people there are more self-sufficient than I anticipated which was nice. The subway's still up and running though.

Coordinates will be incoming in a few days. I'm testing them out myself to make sure they're stabilized.

Stay sharp.

Well, you DO have steady robot hands. No worrying about dropping stuff.

So you'd go back and change things if you could?

I'm a product of everything that's happened to me. I'm a gestalt of everything I've been through before. But it's easy to say that when it's impossible to change things.

Guess I'll finally see if I'm as strong as I think I am.

Yeah...

Well, I for one think you're very strong!

I appreciate it. Don't think less of me if I fuck up.

Aha, I wouldn't dare.

I know something like this is easier said than done.

What if we make a pact? We can only change the past if the whole band agrees.

As long as you only mean our own personal pasts, then I'm in. You know by now I'm not gonna let anything hold me back from stopping Vanderweele.

Yeah, our personal pasts. I think that's fair enough.

We do what we can to stop Vanderweele without damaging the timeline, but only change any beyond that with band approval. Okay?

Deal.

You're both of course invited to watch with me if I decide to be a sad bitch and go on a greatest hits tour of my own past.

Oh really? Sounds....fun?

Enlightening, maybe. Always wondered what it might be like to see that kind of stuff with the perspective I have now.

But if I check anything with Rose in it, you can't come.

If you think like that, you're tougher than me. I can't even bring myself to read the songs I wrote in middle school.

Uh, okay? I'll keep that in mind. I don't want to invade your privacy, or Rose's.

I'm made of metal now. I'm tougher than most of you meatbags.

Appreciate it.

Haha, right!

Maybe you should have cool stage name. To fit the robot image?

Oh, christ. Are you suggesting it because you already have a few in mind?

No.

But if you give me some time, I'll think of some.

Only if Eren gets to come up with some for you.

Pretty sure a metal sounding stagename wouldn't suit me, but sure?

Well, I can't be the only one. I mean, I know the joke is that he's giant, I'm robot, and you're the lightning bolt, but come on.

Okay, fine...

"Anndroid" ✨

My name's with a short A, but I like where your head's at. I could party with Anndroid.

It can still work!

Haha, yeeees!

Wish Eren's name worked as good as mine. All I can come up with is Brobdingnageren and that's literally fucking nothing. Nobody at our shows is gonna be a fan of the Gulliver's Travels deep cuts.

Aha...yeah, that's way too much a mouthful.

I'll try to think of something. If nothing else, I have someone I like to consult for ideas. He might have something.

Oh yeah? Anyone I'd know? Because I definitely want to hear the ones you two reject, too.

Maybe? He's on the app. Do you know Rean?

He's loves puns. And he's more likely to pick something Eren won't hate.
