《Return to Sender》 Paradoxes are a pain. Lord¡¯s Corner ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hey here is a one off thing. Whether it''s good, bad, or doesn''t make sense I do not know. I just thought to write this just because. I am trying to write different things. So here you go, please enjoy this...thing. Till next time, Lord signing off ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message to Myself, Greetings, this is dimensional exploration ship The S.S. Dimension. I am Captain Oliver. As you may have guessed by the ¡°dimensional exploration¡± part, we are exploring other dimensions. I, Captain Oliver, am writing my perspective of the events to try and change our fate. I can only hope that I can succeed. If I do by any chance fail I want any future species to know what happened. To give you some background information about our species. We are two legged, hairless creatures called ¡®Homo Sapiens¡¯. Our species have a long history. We learned to harness the atom around 1000 of our years ago or 3.154e+10 seconds. Each second is duration of 9,192,631,770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the cesium-133 atom. Just to give you some background about us as a people. We were a self-destructive species. For millennia we wared against ourselves. Based on the color of our skin, and what sexual orientation we were. We achieved the ability to travel through the dimensions around 10 years ago. While it was a great accomplishment for our species, it did have unforeseen consequences. Our first 6 extra-dimensional experiments failed, but we were determined to explore the unknown. We were desperate for others like ourselves. Finally on the 7th we succeeded, and coincidentally it was me that succeeded where everyone else failed. While it is hard to transition between dimensions, it is a lot harder to survive the transition. I was the one who came up with the idea that the mind cannot take the transition. I proposed that I transition dimensions while brain dead. Then have a matter sensor tied into an auto-reviver. That is how I was the 7th official test subject. So with my help we were able to travel the dimensions. During the next 5 years we celebrated and explored the multiverse. We explored any new dimension we could. We found so many things that were so unbelievable that you would say I was lying if I told you. Sadly the only thing we did not find was life. Whether it was our dimension, or the hundreds we explored we never found a sentient species. We found great civilizations in ruins. We finally found the adventure we wished for, but the only problem was that we had no one to share it with. We found the reason for why there were no other species out there. In all of the ruins we found only three words were repeated in blood: Break the cycle. Over and over we found these words in english. When we found this in every dimension, we decided to build the S.S. Dimension. A ship that could take a crew of 50 through dimensions. With all the destroyed worlds we decided to have a backup plan. The S.S. Dimension would go look for technology to fight the Destroyers. Find this and other great novels on the author''s preferred platform. Support original creators! Fast-forward to around a year ago. We got everyone packed into the ship for its maiden voyage. We were scheduled to transition around dimensions for exactly a year, and then return. We were not taking any chances with our survival. We left and explored the multiverse. We tried to find more information about Orelaas. We were gone for half a year before we turned around and went back to our home. We were not sure what we were going to find when we got back. On our many adventures we got some upgrades for the S.S. Dimension from some of the more advanced civilizations. Namely a super powerful Zero-Point Energy Generator. The other scientist had a field day with it. Sadly since I had my captain duties to attend to I couldn¡¯t experiment much with it. One of our other upgrades was a more advanced version of our ship. So being the humans we are we just took all the cool, and interesting technology we found and put it together. By the time we only had a month left we had a warship. We took all the strongest weapons and tech from the most advanced worlds we could find. If the Destroyers wanted to destroy us, they were in for some big opposition. Finally we made it back to our home dimension. Instead of a nice greeting by our fellow humans, we met face-to-face with a ship hovering over a destroyed Earth that looked exactly like ours, except that it was old and desiccated. I immediately tried to communicate with it. When the communication connected I got an old man that looked exactly like me. He immediately started crying and pleading for me to not do it. After some talking I found out that he was me from a future timeline. He then told me that we were in a time loop. He explained how we didn¡¯t find a way to transition dimensions, but instead we found a way to time travel. The older version of me talked about how every time we went through transition we actually went through time into the past. That when we transitioned we messed up the past, and accelerated humankind''s advancement. He also told us that the different dimensions we visited was actually the end of that possible futures humans. Each time we traveled we messed the time line up. He finally told us that he was in the same situation I was in. That an old version of me visited him and said the exact same things he was telling me. He then said that he had no clue what to do to fix it, and said good luck before he self destructed his ship. Since he wasn¡¯t much help I had no idea what to do. After talking to the other members of the crew we created a theory. What if the first 6 test had their minds destroyed because their minds could not handle seeing all of time. Thinking that, I decided that I would go through the transition conscious, and try to send this message to myself to not go through with the test. I have no idea if I will survive or perish. I do this not because I have to, but because I need to. I just hope that I can send the message before I die from the transition. Please stop the experiment, and break the cycle. As of now I have twenty minutes till I go through with my plan. Everyone has wished me luck. I just hope that the me of now can get the message to my past self. I just hope that I can stop the experiment from happening. If this fails then all I have to say is sorry. With that I end my message. Good luck me. Captain Oliver signing off.
