retrospec | (no subject)

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.

So are we back to vengeance, then? One last stab at Retrospec before this all crashes? Or just anything that will force them to let you go?

Is that really what you want?

Last time I tried to take a stab at Retrospec, I nearly got my shoulder torn out.

I just want them to let me go. Fighting against them isn't fun anymore.

...Okay.

Just, getting a goal in mind is better than trying to react to whatever comes up.

I'm going to go through with it. Trying to change the Contract. But it won't kick in until now, and. I'll make sure to add a part for consent. Something that should let you make that choice.

To tell Retrospec to let you go.

If we get the opportunity, do you want to help out?

Help out with what, exactly?

Going back, and altering the Contract. Zee says up there we've got three tries at this. This doesn't look like it would interfere with anyone else's ideas, so I think we're safe to give it a shot.

Oh, in the office where I nearly got my arm ripped out and Vanderweele sicced some monsters at me? No thanks. It's not like you need me there to sign my name or anything.

Don't need you there, no. But. If this is what's going to decide your future. I don't want to just go off and do it without you having a say. That's why I'm still talking about it.

I'm still recovering. My shoulder clicks when I move it. I hope you have a backup plan when something bad inevitably happens. THEN I might consider...

Ouch. Hell. That might take a while to heal, yeah.

Especially since literally everyone with healing abilities is gone.

Okay. If this doesn't go right and we need to do something in the present? I'll be sure to call you.

I've gotten pretty well acquainted with the ice machine.

A call is fine. Easier to field calls than run through different timelines on a whim.
