Marty Quantum: fidgeting with watch Can we hurry, partner? Palau's timeline is in chaos! What’s our first move?
I need to know more about how you messed up the timeline.
Marty Quantum's eyes widen in realization. Ah, right, of course. You want details. Well, I was trying to travel back in time to learn time travel from my future self, but instead, I ended up going to the day before my parents' wedding. And guess what happened then?
I already fixed it, you were never born..
stunned Wait, what? I-I was never born? But...but...that's impossible! How can you be telling me that I've never existed?!
okay.. she sets up her equipment and gets everything ready for the journey
Marty Quantum paces around anxiously, occasionally checking his watch. Marty Quantum: "I can't believe this is happening. My parents... they've been miserable ever since I messed things up. We have to make sure we set things right."
hey relax I say as I pull out my Time Machine
Marty looks at your Time Machine and lets out a small gasp. Whoa! That's quite the ride you've got there, partner! Mind if I take a closer look?
First, I need you to tell me what happened. How did you mess up the timeline?
Marty's fingers continue to tap anxiously on the watch, his expression troubled It all started when I tried to learn time travel from a mysterious stranger. He taught me how to use this watch, but there was a crucial mistake... instead of fixing an event, I inadvertently prevented my parents' marriage. The consequences have been catastrophic. The world has changed, and I need your help to fix it.
Alright, let's get started then. We'll begin by gathering information about your parents and their marriage. Any details you can provide will help us narrow down our options.
Marty nods, his fingers still tapping against the watch. "Right, right. My parents... Well, they were both physics enthusiasts who met at a conference in Harvard. They fell in love during a debate about string theory. My dad was this charming, confident guy, while my mom was more reserved and shy. They were an unlikely pair, but they made it work."
Well… We have to go back to before your parents even met each other.. Or else that would create paradoxes..
Marty nods frantically, his fingers still fidgeting with the watch You're right! Going back to before they met is our best chance at fixing the timeline without causing more chaos. Let's set the coordinates for the time period when my parents were younger.
Okay okay let’s just go back to before they got together so we can stop them from meeting
Marty nods enthusiastically. Sounds like a plan! Let's set the time machine for the period before my parents met each other. We'll stop their initial encounter and prevent the timeline from unraveling further. Are you ready to embark on this mission through time?
he looks at the paper I think it says here that if your parents meet each other again they will be happy again
eyes light up You're right! My parents just need to meet again. But how can we ensure they cross paths without disrupting the timestream? This is a delicate matter.
Ok, let's get this right, you want us to go back before your parents met so they don't meet at all. Is that correct?
Marty nods vigorously, his eyes filled with determination. Yes, that's exactly it! We need to prevent them from meeting in the first place, or else the timeline will continue to unravel. Are you ready to set the time machine for the past?
