Tonight, for some reason, you're especially fatigued, and Floyd | can't wait to get inside and go right to bed. Seems like a good plan, Floyd | but somehow you have a premonition it's not going to be that easy... Floyd | Floyd | First Things First - A Text Adventure Game by J.

The gutter trap is to the west and continues Floyd | up to the north end of the house. You can see the top opening of the Floyd | drainpipe in the clogged leaves. The only exit is north. Floyd | Floyd | A squirrel is here. Floyd | Floyd | The squirrel is rather squat and feral, but it regards you with an Floyd | almost intelligent interest. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

He's got a tuft of white hair on his head Floyd | that almost gives him an Einstein-like appearance. In his little paws Floyd | is a big, juicy acorn.

Floyd ] Clearing Floyd | 7/97 Floyd | > Floyd | > READ BOOK Floyd | Floyd | There are two main theories about the potential for time travel. The Floyd | first is that time is linear and immutable. Even if one were able to Floyd | travel back and forth, there would be no way to alter the course of Floyd | events. This does not rule out free will; rather, it is stipulated Floyd | that free action is accounted for -- the time traveller's comings and Floyd | goings have, in a sense, already taken place. You could not go back Floyd | in time and prevent your own birth, for circumstances would intervene Floyd | to make this action impossible. Floyd | Floyd | The second theory is that the timeline branches when a time traveller Floyd | moves back and forth. A traveller from the future may disrupt the Floyd | possibility of returning to the same world he or she left behind. Floyd | Some say that time is an infinitely branching tree, with each moment Floyd | containing a universe of all probable or possible choices, and the Floyd | time traveller slips around from one to the next, with free will being Floyd | a crucial factor in the consequent events. Floyd | Floyd | A third theory has been recently posited, and is the core of this Floyd | particular book. It delves into the possibility of a merger between Floyd | the two theories (previously determined to be mutually exclusive). Floyd | This theory is expanded upon under the heading of paradoxes. Floyd | Floyd | > Floyd ] Clearing Floyd | 7/98 Floyd | > Floyd | > FEEL AIR Floyd | Floyd | You feel nothing special. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Zach says (to Floyd), "read about paradoxes" | ||
Floyd ] Clearing Floyd | 7/99 Floyd | > Floyd | > READ ABOUT PARADOXES Floyd | Floyd | (in the library book) Floyd | This book centers on a new kind of paradox. It posits a theory in Floyd | which the two main theories of time travel (previously determined to Floyd | be mutually exclusive) are merged, allowing both for a universe in Floyd | which time travel cannot change the course of events; and yet at the Floyd | same time depicts a branching time stream where a time traveller may Floyd | redirect events to change the future. Floyd | Floyd | This new paradox goes something as follows: A time traveller from the Floyd | future travels back to the past. The mere act of traveling backwards Floyd | disrupts the future course of events from that moment, making it Floyd | impossible for the traveller to return to his or her own time and find Floyd | it to be as he or she left it. However, through further manipulation Floyd | of objects and events, the time traveller will be able to alter the Floyd | time stream such that the future he or she left will be restored. Floyd | Floyd | Once the future is restored, the time traveller will have discovered Floyd | that all of these events -- including the initial time trip which Floyd | disrupted the time stream -- needed to happen, or else the time Floyd | traveller would never have existed in the world he or she initially Floyd | came from, and thus would not have been able to make the trip in the Floyd | first place. The existence of the future he or she came from was Floyd | contingent on the very disruption and manipulation of the time stream Floyd | that nearly caused their future never to have existed at all!

Floyd ] Clearing Floyd | 26/279 Floyd | > Floyd | > LOOK UP RED BUTTON IN INDEX Floyd | Floyd | After years of refinement, the operation of the time machine has been Floyd | reduced to the simple push of a button. Once the knob has been set, Floyd | pushing the button will activate the machine. However, if the machine Floyd | attempts to make a jump beyond its imposed safety limit, the alert Floyd | bulb will flash and no jump will occur. Floyd | Floyd | In addition, a safety feature is built into the machine which Floyd | deactivates the button for a period of time after each time jump. Due Floyd | to the heat generated in the engine of the time machine, immediate Floyd | successive jumps will cause its parts to fuse and become useless, a Floyd | rather dangerous occurrence for a time traveller to face. Therefore, Floyd | the time machine must cool off before the button may be successfully Floyd | pushed. Fortunately, this only takes a few minutes (depending on the Floyd | climate).
