: If you travel to the past before your *portable* time machine was built, it
: ceases to exist as soon as you "land" and you'd need to build
: another one to get back.

: A permanent time machine at the starting point would either automatically
: return you after a delay or create a single use return module at the
: landing site.

After rereading what I wrote there, I no longer believe they failed to make that time machine. I think what's being implied is that the time machine on the sh'aptide is the one that they designed together. Time travel is a funny thing, you know? If you make a time machine and a plan for someone to use it in the future to come to where you are, then you just have to wait for them to appear. If they don't come, that means they won't get your plans, so you just have to make sure it's in a safe place where you know they'll find it, and keep trying until you succeed. I guess. Time, man.

I went back and re-skimmed some of the terminals on Ain't My Bitch, and they mention that pesky w'rkncacnkter and the paths to destruction. I now think... and this is a weird theory... the manuscripts are the failure paths that we jump to in Infinity. There's ten of them, right? Are there ten infinity timelines, plus the M2 timeline?

I'm sitting here, theorizing about a non-canon fanfiction scenario. That's good fanfic.
