Dear Traveller,
One of the most common problems a traveller might encounter is messing up the timeline (i.e. the history) and thus distorting the time-space continuum.
Examples:
-
(accidentally) talking Shakespeare out of writing Romeo and Juliet
-
(accidentally) meet Aspasia, she falls for you and never gets to be Pericles mistress and influence his political decisions (Pericles was a famous leader of the Athenian people in 500 a.d., did some great things – The Golden era of Pericles – and had a mistress called Aspasia who influenced and often wisely counsel him in governing Athens. Look it up…)
-
(accidentally) discuss the String Theory with Einstein and give him food for thought he didn’t have in his life line…
-
(accidentally) talk J.R.R. Tolkien out of writing the Lord of the Rings trilogy… or convincing him to ACTUALLY have Arwen say “If you want him, come and claim him!”…
-
(accidentally) start talking to Elvis in the coffee place he used to hang out and have him miss the audition that got him discovered…
-
(accidentally) go to Flemings lab and trust his research on Penicillin…
-
(accidentally) convince yourself not to follow that line of work…
-
(accidentally) take an object from the past, that was supposed to be there and now it’s not (cause you took it), for e.x. take Leonidas sword right before the battle of Thermopylae…
-
(accidentally) meet Bill Gates as a teenager and suggest he should be an actor… and actually having him pursuit that kind of a career…
I mean… imagine what the timeline would be like if anything like the above happened… and trust me there are more examples where those came from…
An experienced traveller is much less prone to create a problem into the time-space continuum than an inexperienced one. All experienced travellers know when something went wrong (how, will be explained another time…) The first thing that needs to be done, is check the reality you came back to (your present). If even the slightest thing is different, then something went wrong. In that case, return back to your travelling destination, follow your “past” travelling self and fix whatever went wrong. Usually, this should do the trick, as long as you leave a message to yourself in the present so as your past self will go back and fix it…
Should you can’t find what you did wrong, go back in the past and convince yourself not to take that journey. You won’t have a big problem convincing your past self: it’s you from the future telling you not to do something… so you do it! Yourself is the only one you can trust the most and even more if it’s yourself from the future…
If that doesn’t work, check you handbook (pages 140- 203)… If that doesn’t work contact your mentors…
Keep in mind though, that asking them to fix your mess will be frowned upon, and will somehow end up in your record… which is not a very good thing in the long run…
Generally, mind you don’t mess the timeline. Try to be as discrete as possible and keep a low profile.
It will all be fine… 
Until the next post,
Goodnight to you, “whenever” you are…
E.
