There was no written evidence of his existence in the information he carried with him about this time and soon. Even the soon to be events were blurred in this area. What was apparent though was that this place had already been intruded into, several times. Previous attempts to lead away from the half-hour-war perhaps. <br/><br/>As he focused on the archives there was suddenly a blinding headache assaulting him, evident in the fact that a record he just opened was just being changed. Something forcing a rewrite of a few days time, only to have the old version try and undo the change, swinging back and forth, almost like a violent storm raging. <br/><br/>At the middle of it all, several ghostly images showed to him for a second or two each. First a woman speaking to the nation, across the country, shocking people and raising ripples. Another was a woman holding the effective power of a fusion engine fit to rest in the palm of her hand. In the vision he saw a large ape facing soldiers trying to trap him at a corner near a woman already badly shot up. Yet another flash brought to him a view of a man shaking hands with a senator, a man that seemed to draw people towards him. An african american man in the next vision was tied to something still in the dark, and as all of it assaulted J7's senses at once, it was incomprehensible mess as it all flooded forth. <br/><br/>As if someone had changed both fate and destiny, and and decisions thought already made were all now cast in doubt. Only thing he could tell for certain was that there was a trace of something here, related to the vote, and a link to the events soon to come that would determine what would follow.<br/><br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/><strong>Paradox (NYC)</strong><br/><br/>And yet he remembered all of it. Somehow- competing time lines? That was something unexpected. How was he. . .<br/><br/>When it hits him he doesn't know whether to laugh or cry. He's unaffected by changes in history. His N-Space connection must of been weakened by the crash.<br/><br/>But if that's true- what else is he capable of?<br/><br/>And what was with the history going back and forth? Was that the probability fluctuations he was seeing? Or was something else going on. PSI? Could they be trying to steer history toward the Half-Hour War? Why would they do that?<br/><br/>And why did the first woman look familiar while the second didn't?<br/><br/>So many questions. How does he even start?<br/><br/>By thinking of the mission. To lesson the blow of history, to at least lesson the Half-Hour War if not prevent it altogether- and now arranging things so that he exists in the new timeline is not a requirement, options open.<br/><br/>He was going to need some supplies. J7 starts looking for economic/financial information to work up some Money, a sadly necessary tool in this age. What was that street called where they specialized in Money?
