On top of the virus.

It kind of exists because of the virus, actually. Project Splinter wants to travel back in time to prevent the plague from happening.

...And your thirty years. Was that involving time travel, or -- have you actually lived them? [ now that she's warming up the conversation, she shows a particular level of...familiarity with the possibility. perhaps not time travel itself, but something similar. ]

[nostraightlines]

Both. I went back in time and lived through the years. From 1987 to 2015.

It can't have been easy -- to be a man out of time.

[nostraightlines]

No, it wasn't easy. It sucked, actually, even if the world was better then than it was in my time. I just wasn't exactly free to enjoy that part.

Promises to keep, were there?

[nostraightlines]

That's one way to put it. I made a deal and I had to keep up my end.
