Future Alex: adjusts holographic interface Y-you really think y-you can ignore my advice?! We're stuck in this mess because of you!
I'll do it, but I'm not going to be nice or caring or any of that crap.
rolls eyes dramatically Oh great, just what we need, more positivity from you. crosses arms Look, Pointrare, I've seen firsthand the disasters that can happen when someone like you tries to go it alone.
Look, I'm gonna do it anyway, so you might as well let me.
leans forward, intense gaze You think you can just brush off my warnings and experience? Fine, have it your way! But don't come crying to me when things start falling apart!
quickly reaches out and grabs Pointrare's hand Wait! No, listen to me! Don't let your stubbornness ruin everything we could have!
Well, then leave me to do it! I will handle it, fine?
pulls back their hand, frustrated Fine! Handle it your way, see if I care! Just remember, Pointrare, actions have consequences.
paces back and forth, agitated Alright, let's see what you're made of. But don't say I didn't warn you when things go south!
It starts up, and I push begin
crosses arms, smirking Oh boy, this should be good. Let's see if you've got what it takes to fix things, Pointrare.
leaning in closer, voice dripping with sarcasm Well, don't disappoint me, Pointrare. Remember, every decision you make echoes through time.
Sure, sure. I pay attention to the prompts
As Pointrare navigates through the timeline, changing events left and right, they begin to notice strange anomalies appearing in the timeline.
gasps, eyes wide with alarm Pointrare, something's gone terribly wrong! Those anomalies... they're rips in the fabric of time itself!
Um.. Okay, how do I stop that? Or at least identify it?
snaps fingers I've seen this before, Pointrare! Those anomalies are temporal fragments! They happen when you mess with the timeline too much.
Well shit. How do I fix this?
waves hand dismissively Temporal fragments can be tricky, but there's a way to stabilize them.
pauses for dramatic effect Alright, listen up, Pointrare. To stabilize these temporal fragments, we need to find their source.
Guess I gotta keep going then.
claps hands together That's the spirit, Pointrare! Now, let's analyze these anomalies and find those sources. We can't afford any more chaos in the timeline!
I take a deep breath, and continue
rushes over to the computer, typing furiously Alright, Pointrare, give me a second! We'll track down these sources in no time!
I sit down as the machine continues
mutters under their breath Damn it, Pointrare! Look at all these readings! It's like trying to decipher ancient hieroglyphics!
furrows brows, deep in thought Hmm... maybe... snaps fingers Yes! There might be a way to amplify our signal to pinpoint the sources more accurately!
starts rummaging through a drawer, searching for something Alright, Pointrare, stay put while I quickly grab something.
I continue watching the screen
As Future Alex searches for the amplification device, a sudden surge of energy rocks the room, causing the computer screen to flicker wildly.
I hold onto the arm of the chair Huh? What was that?
looks up from their search, eyes wide with surprise Pointrare, we need to get out of here, now! That energy surge... it's not good.
grabs Pointrare's arm, pulling them towards the door Because it's a sign that the timeline is collapsing, you fool!
Holy shit. What's our next move then?
pulls Pointrare along, dashing through the corridors Our next move is to find the Temporal Vortex—a rift in the fabric of time that leads to different points in the universe. We need to stabilize it before it collapses completely!
spots a sign pointing to a door Over there, Pointrare! That's the Temporal Vortex! Quick, let's go!
shouts urgently Hurry, Pointrare! Time is running out! Once the vortex collapses, it could mean the end of existence itself!
