Action: SS Blameless
When: August 4th

So it seems we've returned to enclosed quarters once more. Let's play a game to liven things up.

Who would you fuck, marry or kill on the Fleet?

I suppose to make it even harder, you could limit it to your ship.

That's the problem. When everything is set, nothing can deviate. The future becomes locked into one timeline. One possibility. One end.

When people play with the future, they do not understand the ramifications. They do not understand time.

[sandhate]

But it's understandable, isn't it? I don't think "playing with the future" is something people do unless it's under special and rare circumstances.

How do you understand time?

[precedented]

I understand why. That does not mean he should have done so.

People seem to think time is limited to the singular. As such, it becomes a matter of "do or do not". But when they limit their thinking, time itself becomes limited.

[sandhate]

Why shouldn't he? The future is malleable and we change it all the time. People can't help but to think that it is singular because there's only one outcome that they would ever want and it's one where everything works out as it should.

It's only natural to want to strive for the one that is near perfect. I don't think they limit so much as hone the path they want.

No one should see and control the future. Wanting and having are very different in the end. He brought the universe to its knees for the one thing he wanted and he could not take it back.

Wanting is natural. Power is a responsibility.

Your father is a complicated man
I guess you take after him in that regard

[ His fingers pause over his reply. The ache in his heart over the loss of his father never seems to diminish. ]

I am my father's son.
