I sent a message to Hawking on his birthday. Not my fault he couldn’t read it.

2 Weeks Later - Doc-Danger - The Rumor
It’s late. I’m tired, but I can’t sleep. I’m lying in bed, reading Halfmen and The 4th Cosmic Power. Eve is snoring gently beside me.
Ibok was a game theory genius. I guess. Honestly, his math is beyond me, but High Roller says it checks out. That’s the most rigorous test I can give it.
From his analysis of Halfman behavior, he deduced how a Space God could travel backwards in time. Using True Sight, the Call to Nothing, and couple huge ass warp portals, it’s possible to see the past and write it over the present.
It’s a shockingly evil proposition. Basically, you’d be annihilating the universe, and building a past version from it’s corpse. I can see how someone who’s lost everything might be tempted to try it, but that doesn’t make it less horrible.
Luckily, it’s not that simple. The body autonomy protocols of the other Space Gods would protect them from casual obliteration. They could extend a weaker version of this protection over vast swaths of spacetime. It wouldn’t be enough to stop a focused attack on a particular person or planet, but it could easily stop some asshole from erasing whole galaxies.
That’s where we are. We can go back in time, but only if most Space Gods agree to do so. So far, most don’t. But, there’s more Space Gods everyday, and Halfmen are working hard to pre-persuade the incipient newbies.
Fuck. What a mess.
“He got most of it right.” says Eve. She’s awake. I guess she’s been watching me read.
“You know about Ibok?” I ask.
“A little bit.” she smiles. “You left his book in the bathroom.”

Hmm. Fox isn’t the only one who’s bad at keeping secrets.
“The Impossible Parties are supposed to be debates on time travel. About what we’ll do if we get to change time.” she says. “It’s the ultimate bluffing game.”
I think. “What’s your bluff? What will you do if you get to change the past?”
She shrugs. “I’d leave most of it where it is. I’d just bring forward the tiny spec of it that’s sentient life.”
I nod. Pause. “What? You’re talking about bringing people forward in time?”
“Yeah.”
“But, like, everybody?”
“Yeah.”
“So, everybody who has ever lived will be alive at the same time?”
“Yeah.”
“Why?”
“The past is terrible. The future is much better.” She’s smiling, but has tears in her eyes. “They should have the same opportunities we do. It’s only fair.”
Okay. She wants equal rights for dead people. That makes sense. I guess. Can’t say I’ve ever thought about my responsibilities to dead people. Unless you count wanting to killing Hitler. Which isn’t really the same thing.
She still looks kind of misty. I pull her towards me. Hold her.
I think for a bit. Nod towards the Man in the Mask. “What does he want?
“He also wants to bring back the past.”
“So, you’re allies?”
“Never.” she sneers. “Just enemies that both want time machines.”
I nod. She is very still. I think she may be asleep, but she starts talking.
“You can ask me.” she says. “The thing you’re looking for. The thing you ask everyone but me.”
I tense.
“Shh.” she says. “It’s okay. I know you can't trust what’s given. Don’t worry. This isn’t help. It’s a complicated attack.”

She crawls on top of me. Kisses me. Looks deep into my eyes. “Ask me. I’ll probably destroy you with my answer. But, you may learn something.”
I stare into her eyes. Fuck it. “Some Space Gods remake their bodies. How do the solve the continuity of experience problem? How do they remake their brains without killing themselves?”
“I don’t know.” she says. “I don’t think they do.”
“Rrrrr. So the neutronium Space Gods are just shiny corpse puppets?”
“I guess. I think of them as children of the mind. But your description is also accurate.”
I hold my head.
“What’s the problem?” Eve asks. “You don’t have to make yourself a new brain. Most people don’t.”
“Fox has a brain disease.” I say. “He’s dying.”
“Oh.” she pauses. “Shit. That sucks. But, why don’t you fix the brain he already has? I mean, not you, but your species. There must be trillions of humans. You all have similar organs. Surely you must have regenerative medicine?”
“Barely.” I sigh. “My species has other priorities.”
“Ahh.” she holds me tight. “I understand.”

The Hand of Sigmar. A Warhammer Fiction.
Adebar von Bolstedt was a normal young Aristocrat once. Third son of the middling von Bolstedt line of Altdorf, capital of the prestigious Empire at the heart of the Old World, but when a quarrel with his brother escalates he decides to leave his pampered home, and soon finds himself stranded in the countryside. When confronted about his presence he claims to be led by the God-King Sigmar, but with the name of the Protector of Mankind come his responsiblities. Soon Adebar finds himself tasked with ridding a town of a mad killer, and settling some lethal family quarrels.Word from the AuthorGreetings! The Hand of Sigmar plays out in the much beloved Warhammer Fantasy setting (owned, of course, by Games Workshop). Do not fret, however, as I've made it a point to make the story digestible even to the uninitiated, and maybe even be a good introduction to the setting. This work will be shorter overall, partly because its born out of a sudden passion, partly because I thought I'd try my hand at a more comfortable story than the grim darkness of the 41st Millenium (psychotic murderer and fraudulent holyman included). Depending on how this does and my time allows more adventures may be coming.While I cannot claim the places, concepts and gods etc. mentioned within as my own, the story and all characters flowed from my own fingers.

Sage Fall
Out of hiatus, but with a hitch. . Read most recent "chapter", Status Update, for more info. Trapped for thousands of years. Betrayed by the ones he held dear, the ones he called family. Finally set free by happenstance, Amrin sets out to find the ones that locked him in the heart of a mountain. Find the answers he's been asking himself while conscious within the darkness. The world has changed in his time away. Learning new things, meeting new people, struggling with questions he may never get the answers to. He will journey through this new world and search for the "family" that betrayed him and figure out why they did it. If they did not have the answers he was looking for, there would be consequences. *This is a VERY HEAVY story driven fiction (read: can be slow!). There are some sections of action, drama and soon/eventually, mature related content (sexuality and gore). There are going to be sections with lots of text and little dialogue. There's going to be sections with lots of dialogue and little descriptive narration. ***Word of warning and advice. To save yourself the potential disappointment! The MC is mostly a pacifist! If you're looking for a super OP protagonist that uses his powers to get what he wants and to hell with the consequences, this story IS NOT for you. There are times when it should be obvious why, other's it's only implied. Either way, if you are expecting "shoot first ask questions later" mentality from the MC, regardless of how powerful he is, save yourself the disappointment and look elsewhere. I want to give a HUGE THANK YOU to all the readers and commenters of my story. It's all the positive feedback and comments that really give me the motivation to keep going. Honestly. It sounds cheesy, but it's true. So, again. Thank you!
