“Tell me then what I should do.” Jaris Escrinutov demanded, “How do I stop HRE?”. Richard looked at him, and sighed. “Once you’ve done something bad, it’s hard to go back.” Jaris became more impatient, several items began to float around his room. “Calm down.” Richard said,”I think I might have the answer. People will not unite to stop something unless they see someone being severely maltreated.” “So you’re implying . . .” “You have to make HRE a bad thing for them to shut it down.” Richard finished.
“How do I do that?” Jaris asked, to which Richard replied, ”Simple. Start by capturing someone for no reason, claim it’s for something he did. Then trap him in the very thing you were supposed to stop.” Jaris being satisfied with this, stopped messing with gravity, and then replied, ”I know who to capture. And I think I’ll also strip them of their identity. Most people don’t know how important that is, but once we start they’ll be sure to pick up.”. It was then that he checked his alerts, and informed Richard that in the future HRE condemned Richard of treason and was out to get him. “Thanks, but you go, once my enforcement agency gets a hold of you, it’s not going to be pretty.” Jaris advised.
Richard ran to his vessel and severed the entanglements with his weapon. He managed to do so at the last minute, jumping into it and shutting the door right in their faces. Richard had to buy himself time, and he knew how to do so. He flew the vessel out, headed for a black hole. Jaris meanwhile took the identity-stripping gun and shot himself, and in an instant he was no longer Jaris, the alien, the creator of the Human Restriction Enforcement agency. As he walked out one of the guards saw him, and notified the officers. He ran, taking his arm-contraption and propelling himself to Earth, the year 3012.
The Traveller looked around, all life was lacking, seemingly already long gone from the desolate landscape. All about him were ruins, remnants of thing the homo sapiens had created, a species he had once belonged to. He looked at himself, his identity had been taken, another offense and he would be sentenced to eternal torment. He had already gotten an offense for a scandal at the HRE, and another would not sit well with the Galactic Squadron. But he knew he would not go down in history as Jaris, but as the Traveller, a hero that stopped his mistake. He had chosen correctly on who to condemn, for back at the HRE base someone was in a simulation, looping forever.
For there was a man, and he woke up. He looked around him, everything seemed slightly familiar, as around him was a vast white landscape. He felt his head, and when he brought his hand back he saw blood. He was laying down, face up, on top of the only hill he could see. Nearby lay a ravine of sorts, on closer inspection it was as if some frisbee had been thrown into it and then taken out. What he didn’t know is that he was in a time loop, and for him, there is no time.
