A.D. Doug quotes from Loki

Loki

Wait... You're a writer?

Yes. Science fiction!

Loki

I'm doomed.

But -- and this is kinda embarrassing -- had to get a PhD to keep my day job teaching theoretical physics at CalTech.

You time travel in a place that has no time, right?

Loki

Right.

That's not possible.

Loki

I know...

So you traveling to a place that doesn't exist anymore is equally impossible, and therefore, it's something you might be able to do!

Loki

Sure. Excellent. Y'know, makes total sense. Doesn't sound like science.

No. But it does sound like fiction!

With science, it's all "what" and "how". But with fiction, it's "why".

Loki

What?! How did you build a TemPad so fast?

I don't know if I'd say eighteen months is fast. Well, nineteen months -- I had to take a break and move out when I lost my job and my wife left me.

You controlled your time-slipping!

Loki

Yes. It's not about where, when or why... It's about who. I can rewrite the story.
