Jake: Answer.
uranianUmbra [UU] began cheering golgothasTerror [GT] at 5:45 hello there, darling. ~3u Ahoy madame! i dont relish troUbling yoU with more arm twisting. im sUre for all ive done so far yoUve had a jolly good workoUt already :u bUt yoU will be ready to deliver the package today, yes? Im determined as ever to see this through. But as usual events have conspired to make a boondoggle of the prospect. I think i might be fucked. :U how so??? Terry needs fuel and i dont have any left. I think im at striders dubious mercy for a solution YET AGAIN. I will have to ask him for help. And soon. well there yoU go, love! better hop to it. Yes i will. But also... Theres the matter of the rabbits armaments. I dont imagine hell do a lot of friggin good in helping grandfather crocker from kicking the old bucket without them. Did you not say youd supply these? i did indeed say so! and have already done. You did?? When? in yoUr fUtUre. i relayed the information enabling yoU to create the powerfUl weaponry yoUrself. and yoU did! yoU then sent them back in time. yoU may recover them in the rUins, which conveniently is where yoU mUst go to ship the package once and for all. bangUp plan we hatched, dont yoU fancy? ^u^ I see... Yes it sure is if that is the case. Then all thats left to do is find power for it... Oh and also enough power for the stupid transmateriabob. Augh! So much to do before shuttling this goddamn thing into the past. I mean... That is what im doing right? Giving it to my grandma when she was a kid growing up on the same island i did? that is somewhat close to the trUth, and i can see how yoU woUld draw that conclUsion. bUt theres more to it yoU dont Understand yet! yoU will sort it all oUt in time. These are among the dadblasted causal spoilers you refuse to dish out? somewhat. it woUldnt hUrt yoU mUch to know the trUth, i imagine. its jUst the trUth is a wee bit complicated. perhaps a draft of the cascading seqUence from which yoUr reality has arisen will pUt yoUr mind at ease. imagine two Universes, A and B. now imagine there are two instances of each Universe, A1 and A2 and B1 and B2. the first instance of each is like a test rUn, that does not qUite sUcceed. the second instance thoUgh will meet all of its pUrposes! now consider that A1 begets A2. A2 begets B1. and B1 begets B2. and the participants of B2 are the ones who will make an effort to exit all this tUrbUlence and falderal. yoU are one of them! :U and yoUr yoUng ancestor is another, thoUgh she is "presently" stationed in B1. and yes she is in the past. thoUgh not qUite as far as yoU believe! nor does she occUpy the same stream of continUity. Im not sure i completely followed that but ok. thats the best i can do for now. u_u primarily becaUse i will not risk wasting mUch more of yoUr time! So you are still in contention that i will meet our elders as youths? oh yes! ^u^ Ah ha! Then i WILL be traveling through time. I knew it. Or... they will be. Whichever it is. Which is it, btw? caUsal spoilers, sir english! Fffff. given the natUre of the qUest waiting for yoU, it woUldnt be shrewd of me to rUle oUt the employment of time travel by any individUal. bUt i will say that yoUre probably prey to a basic misapprehension aboUt the natUre of this rendezvoUs. it will not take place on earth. it will happen inside the game yoUre aboUt to play! Oh. Well shit! indeed. :u This is frightfully exciting. I would love to meet them. I never got to know my grandma very well and it always seemed like she led an amazing and adventurous life. Then this seemed to be proven true in my correspondence with her. So im really looking forward to it. so trUe. id pay a hefty ransom to get to know my forebears. I remember you mentioned your race doesnt really jive with ours familially speaking? correct. i never knew those who one woUld identify as my parental eqUivalents. U_U it is in the way my race propagates. oUr ancestors precede Us by millenia. Well yes ours do too. But generally we have all these other people in between them and the most recent ones are called parents. so i guess you do not have those? Like systemically? nope! never did. well neither did i!!! ^u^ Miss alien i think we are like birds of a feather you and i. When do i get to learn your name by the way? hm trUthfUlly? it may be for the best that yoU never know it. it coUld stir Up some things best left in their present eqUilibriUm. and now i think i shoUld bollocks off and leave yoU to it! But... Wait! There are still some things id like to know! About today! About this game! no more procrastinating! contact yoUr friend, darling. Yes fine fine ok i will but... Just please tell me in the least causally spoilery way possible... What are we even trying to accomplish here? What is even the rootin tootin POINT of this game? i think yoU will have more fUn than yoU can imagine finding oUt. bUt stated concisely, and short of spoilerly as yoU so charmingly pUt it, yoUr objective today is to pave the way for the arrival o…
