text: We appear on the second floor of an ordinary house. It looks like it's around 1994, which would make it approximately 70 years ago.
  
  Future Baryon enters a room, where the lights are turned off, and I see a small boy sleeping in the bed there.
  
  "What is this?"
  
  "This is a bedroom. In five hours, this boy's alarm clock will ring, waking him up in time for his first day at school. There, he will grow an affinity for mathematics, and then later on, for science. He will graduate with examplary grades, and marry a co-worker of his, named Georgia. The two of them will have a daughter, and she will be named Dorothy. He becomes the head of the bio-division of Gorgon labs, working with Michael Thorne, and educating him in genetic modification. The boy will then help the police apprehend Thorne once it has become clear that he has been abusing his position, and shortly after that, religious extremists will burn down the lab, along with Georgia and Dorothy. He will make sure everyone believes he died in the fire as well, and makes a secret Gorgon labs facility in the desert his own private lab. There, he developes project Eden, but I think you know the story from this point."
  
  "Meckard?"
  
  "Yes. This is a six year old Henry Meckard. He teaches Thorne all he needs to create his monstrosities, us included. He has part in the Reanimator incident and he starts project: Eden. You can end it, all of it. All you need to do is kill a currently innocent six year old boy."
  
  "Why are you..."
  
  "I'm trying to teach you, show you my point. If you kill him, you acknowledge that evil is often necessary to achieve good results."
  
  > Don't kill Meckard.
  "No. I refuse to kill him."
  
  "But you can end everything..."
  
  "I won't kill someone innocent."
  
  "So you would wait until after he's committed his atrocities? You would let people die before you strike, even though it changes nothing?"
  
  "It changes me. I am not a tyrant."
  
  "Very well" he says and grabs around my hand again, pulling us both into a vortex.
  
  > Continue.
  We appear on a rooftop in Gorgon city. Everything looks like it's been around 20 years since this was.
  
  "Where are we?"
  
  "Look there" Future Baryon says and points towards the street. I look down, and see a pregnant woman being attacked by thugs.
  
  "What's going on?"
  
  "Those men work for Michael Thorne. Jeremy Reinhorn and Robert Gharus need an embryo for their attempt to construct a dark matter individual" he says, looks at me and smirks.
  
  "That...mom?"
  
  "Yes. Those men will kidnap her, Reinhorn will carve her up, feed her remains to Freakshow and turn the embryo into us. Not killing Meckard may have been a morally obvious decision here, but can you look upon them and stand by while they do this? You've always felt her death was your fault. After all, if she hadn't been pregnant, she wouldn't have been targeted, would she? She was killed for being your mother."
  
  "Stop it."
  
  "You can't hide things from me Baryon. I know your thoughts. All of them. Don't hide from the truth, and save her!"
  
  > rescue your mother.
  I tear the skeleton out of one of the thugs, causing the rest of his jelly-like body to wriggle down and collapse. The other thug looks at his friend's remains, as I tear his eyeballs out and shove them down his throat. I then pop both of his eyeballs and use their insides to choke him to death. They deserved something more gruesome, but it was all I had at the moment.
  
  Future Baryon then appears at my side as mother, understandable frightened by the whole event, runs away.
  
  "Don't even try to tell me that was the wrong thing to do" I growl at him.
  
  He simply grabs my hand again and says "lets see" before we both vanish into a worm-hole again.
  
  > Continue.
  We materialize in an empty destroyed world. It's earth, but there is not a living soul on it. Cars, houses, cities are still here, but no living people. Just corpses.
  
  "What happened here?"
  
  "You rescued your mother. That's what happened."
  
  "How does that..."
  
  "In doing so, you removed yourself from this time-line. Everything else still happens. Project-Eden, the reanimator incident, cloning. It all happens without you. Including Virus."
  
  "Virus?"
  
  "The death of Andrew Carlyle had nothing to do with you, so it happens exactly like it did in your time-line. Frederick Carlyle's cloning of his son also had nothing to do with you, so that happens as well. The failure that occurred in the cloning also had nothing to do with you, so Andrew's first clone becomes Grove, despite your inexistance, and Frederick Carlyle reclones his son, as you had nothing to do with that either. Virus is still created."
  
  "But without me, that generator is never..."
  
  "Virus doesn't need the generator. Without it, the process is slow, but, like a virus, he drains everything of energy until there is nothing left, and then he wriggles up and dies due to nothing being left. He kills the Imperfects, at least the ones that didn't die in the fight with Hybrid. Both Brute and Freakshow died in that fight due to your absence. Everyone on the entire planet has had his brainwaves drained. All because you weren't here to stop him. All because you had to save your mother. What a selfish thing to do, right?"
  
  "But..."
  
  "But what? But it was the right thing to do? Sometimes the wrong thing to do is the right thing to do, and sometimes, the right thing to do is the wrong thing to do. Things aren't as simple as you'd like them to be. Now all you have to do, is go back in time and make sure your mother meets her gruesome fate."
  
  "No. You can't ask me to..."
  
  "You are a time traveller Baryon! You changed the fate of the world for the worse, and now it is your responsibility to change it back."
  
  "But...no...I can't..."
  
  "You must. You created this situation. This is on you. Perform a single act of evil, and save humanity from extinction."
  
  > make sure your mother is kidnapped.
  I know that he's right. I don't like it, but I created this situation, and so fixing it is my responsibility. I transport myself back to the moment where I stopped the thugs, and this time, I keep myself from attacking the thugs.
  
  "No! What are you doing?" Past Baryon shouts, but I make sure I suppress the soundwaves so the others don't hear it."
  
  "You can't do this. I know how painful it is...but she has to die."
  
  "No. You can't..."
  
  "If she doesn't die, then humanity as a whole will perish."
  
  He hesitates a little, but then he nods. Future Baryon from that moment approaches both of us and says "he is right. Now we should hurry and separate before the universe unravels due to three of us being in the same moment of time."
  
  He then transports himself to the future I am from, and I return to the apocalyptic future of the mutant war. Future Baryon was right. I should just let him deal with this.
