More travelers, lost in time
Suddenly, everything changes.

Complex worlds - space-scapes, WWII as a backdrop, friends, allies, enemies - all disappear to be replaced with... sand.

Miles and miles of sand. Rolling hills, dunes, not an oasis in sight.

Well, except that, from somewhere just beyond the hills, there's a smell of fresh coffee.

Four years?! Dorrek's attention shifts abruptly to the shape and weight of the small box in his pocket. He can't be separated from Billy for that long!

But...if what this construct has told them is the only other option...

"If we die, will our worlds still be stabilized?" he asks. He hopes that it won't come to that, but if it happens, he wants to know that Billy will still be restored. Even if he's not there to see it.

	"Exactly. Can it still be fixed without our personally surviving?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yes. Your teammates can still stabilize the timelines. You, personally, will still be dead - the timeline will find a way to iron that out, but your universe could otherwise still be restored." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Dorrek lets out a sigh of relief, slumping back in his chair. That's good. Whatever happens, Billy and his friends will be all right. Dorrek can handle this with that knowledge. "When do we start?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Gwenny, too, looks relieved. Going to stuff her face with muffins now, but relieved. "I'm guessing right after breakfast. Not a lot to do here in Not-Really-Existing-Ville." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The Timebroker eyes Valentine. "That is only if you die. If the team fails... well, you're all stuck... so do be conscious, the missions you get aren't just suggestions. However, that said... Miss Sabuki is correct. The team is just about to save a cheerleader, thus saving that world. When they do, they will be moved to the next world, and you'll join them."

	All right, so not 'whatever happens'. And he gets the feeling that not all the missions are going to be as easy as saving cheerleaders. Dorrek returns the Timebroker's stare. "Understood," he says, crossing his arms over his chest. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Gwenny nods, and soon she's finishing her muffins. (Reply to this)(Parent)
