In Response To: Re: story modifications (Steve Levinson)

I don't think that's Shishka-compliant, or whatever the proper term is. Visiting the world of 65M years ago should involve finding or creating a new timeline in which the events of the impact haven't been determined yet. It shouldn't directly send back effects to the timeline you came from, and ordinary running around and blasting things in the brand-new pre-impact timeline certainly shouldn't allow you to destroy/erase the saurians' world.

I'm having trouble thinking about it clearly myself, actually. I seem to end up running in circles trying to get around questions that may never have been answered by literate mortal humans.

Also, what Red 2? Surely not the project started by that guy who needed someone else to make his maps, shapes, and sounds?

: concept - perhaps the basis for Red 2?
