Hmmm...chicken or the egg? I like it
Author's Response:
Thanks - plus in the First Born story, there's already been some jiggering. See, if you jigger enough, it BECOMES the reality.

Nice start. A lot of sex going on, but hey...it keeps it human. I'm not sure if this a sequel to another story, or if this is a unique story to its own. But I hope you go into the science as to how they know what the "true" past is supposed to look like.
Author's Response:
Thanks! It's a sequel but I try to keep them fairly stand-alone so that the reader doesn't have to go back and read a bajillion words in order to get what I'm talking about.
There's a little on the science and, well, it's imperfect. So how can you really know?

Sounds like they are gunning for Richard.

... you shall see .... ;)

So the plane crashed-not sure where all that is going.
Author's Response:
Well - Rick has to put back the original history. Which he's done.
And now he's gotta go back, where there's a dead job candidate and a file that needs to be deciphered ....

OK, he made it. Funny, just watched La Bamba yesterday. Weird coincidence, I guess.
Author's Response:
Ha, too funny. It takes some doing, these days, to find the real Ritchie Valens and the real Buddy Holly on Youtube, rather than Lou Diamond Phillips/Los Lobos and Gary Busey!

Ack, sorry about that (IE 9 doesn't play well with the archive software).
The shuttle crash on Berren One killed Walker.

hmm. What killed Walker? I sorta didn't get that.

I like this so far. The Perfectionists sound like elitists. Should be interesting to see where it all goes.
Author's Response:
Thank you! The fun of writing this was researching history and music. :)

This is really cool. I love time travel stories.
Author's Response:
There is a lot going on here - this is just the start. Thank you!

Very nice, jespah. A temporal paradox reminiscent of 'A Sound of Thunder,' but more easily repaired and without the dark ramifications of the former. I love your style - the dialogue flowed easily and was very true to life.
Rick's concern - even love - for Jun was perfect and just how we'd expect someone in that position to behave.
Also love the description of the 'shift' - how the lecturer paused, seemed to gather herself, and then began speaking again, telling the same story with a slightly different spin. Very effective.
All in all, a perfect fit for the challenge. :D

Likey, Jesph. But then time travel and anything time related to do with Trek floats my boat. You weaved it all together as surely as Daniels himself. Great stuff :)

Wow that was one weird intriguing plot about temporal mechanics, messing around with the timeline and playing God. I bet it took you some time to tease out the timeline consequences...
Interesting piece.
Author's Response:
Thank you. You should definitely be left with the impression of – they just negotiate around any little problem, no matter what it is, and you can find yourself questioning the present day.

Not sure how these relationships work but an interesting insight into a less wooden Malcolm Reed.
Author's Response:
It kind of worked out in a previous story (Together) - where he and Lili, well, they get together, as do Doug and Melissa.
For Malcolm, I wanted him to have someone he could really let his hair down with and be himself, and not be so formal.
Thank you for reviewing.
