I lived in the 27th century. ['Lived', he's been working in the past so long.]

There are innumerable paths humanity can take from the 21st century onward. We are only one of them.

[artifacetious]

Twenty seventh? Dude.

[quantumtangled]

Correct.

[Unbelievable? Too bad, it's a fact like everything else.]

[artifacetious]

What do you mean "innumerable paths"? Like the 'every decision makes another reality' theory?

[quantumtangled]

Some decisions are significant enough to do so.

[artifacetious]

Like what?

[ It's not a theory she's ever given credence to; who wants to think there are a dozen versions of themselves hanging out in alternate universes? That's just weird. ]

[quantumtangled]

Society changing events, such as the invention of revolutionary technologies, wars, or global disasters.

[artifacetious]

Well yeah... but the way you said it wasn't "and that changed the course of history", it was more like it still could. Even though that's the past.

[quantumtangled]

It is your present.

[artifacetious]

You can't be sure about that, we got yanked from all different worlds.

[quantumtangled]

Yes, I am speculating.

[artifacetious]

[ It's then she notices that in addition to being so pale, he doesn't seem to have eyebrows under the brim of his hat. Claudia tilts her head. ]

Do you have alopecia?

[quantumtangled]

No. There are tradeoffs to all technology.

[Hair, taste, feelings, none of these things matter much. Well, feelings might. Might.]

[artifacetious]

Accidental electrolysis?

[quantumtangled]

[That's perceptive enough to catch his attention.]

It is very similar. As it does not affect our health, we have not corrected it.

[artifacetious]

[ She was joking, insinuating that he'd electrocuted himself at some point, but the confirmation makes her that much more interested. ]

Seriously? What caused it?

[quantumtangled]

Continuous exposure to a device implanted beneath the skin which grants new abilities when it is functioning properly.

[artifacetious]

Thus the speed reading?

[quantumtangled]

One advantage not suppressed when I arrived.

[...Pretty much the only one he kept.]

[artifacetious]

What else does it do?

[quantumtangled]

It manipulates time.

[artifacetious]

What, like it can stop or slow or speed things down around you?

[quantumtangled]

Yes, as well as moving through time at will.

[artifacetious]

[ Now Claudia is looking at September veeeeeery strangely. ]

[quantumtangled]

[As if he can read minds. Silent treatment is not getting though to him.]
