Looks like some of you have been pretty busy. Mostly for the better, I think. I hope.

I've been talking to past employees, tracking them down now while things are falling into place. They still don't really know about their past history with the company, but the knowledge was still there if you can believe that. Ask a few questions, you can bait anybody into answering.

I can go into details later for anyone who's curious, but I'll keep this short and sweet. With the next string of programming and adjustments, we can have three tries to check into alternate timelines. Nothing will stick during those trials, but let's think about it this way. Check out a chain of events, see how it pans out, close the loops to make it a new reality.

When everything became about actual reality-bending, I'm not sure. I don't think this is what any of us signed up for, but what's done is done.

Mr. Murdock raised an interesting proposition that I think is worth considering. And a few other have, too, you know who you are. So the question is: what chains of events can we all agree on? A check is just that. It checks how things might go without actively ruining everything…I think. The power used might downgrade the more we check in which is why three's the limit, but the potential's there which is probably better than anything else.

Talk it through and get back to me. It's your future. You should get a say in it at this point.

Wasn't Vanderweele in a relationship with Agatha? What makes you think it's her fault he's the way he is? How do you know he's not the reason she killed those children?

What came first? Agatha's employment with the Spinnato family or her relationship with Vanderweele?

And didn't Vanderweele want to get Spinnato out of the way because he knew Spinnato wouldn't agree with his plan to use soul energy?

That being said, I think the murder of the Spinnato twins is something we could look at. It's what I ended up talking with Zee about in the past.

questioning what came first:Agatha's employment with the Spinnato family or her relationship with Vanderweele, is a valid point.

What did Zee say about the past?

No, not ABOUT the past, IN the past. I talked with Zee a few years ago, before he got hired by Retrospec.

Basically, our thought was they'd still be alive in the present and would perhaps have impacted the direction of the company and the project. That, and it kind of seems like a lot of things started going wrong with after they died.

No kidding things were going wrong after those twins died. After that, much of Vanderweel'srelatives and decedents started dying off.

There's that, but also the changes with the company. That's around the same time they closed off the subways to the regions outside the city I think.

Is that when those things happened? I had no idea.

Judging by the state of the subway hub, I think so.

So. Do we try to save the children or not?

I definitely think it is an important moment so, yes.
