Awesome. Love the idea or turning a smart scientist into a younger communications major! Very well written with some great dialogue and concepts. Good job!
To those who watched this from its first arrival at EMCSA, we saw this story retconned. Without spoiling too much, one character was substituted for another character, with a wildly different personality.
Deliciously apropos, but the new character's actions were identical to those of the old one, despite the difference between them. The justification of the new character's actions (mirroring the absent one's in a previous timeline) felt a little forced.
Was this an intentional reference to how the eponymous machine changes history, or was it just the author not wanting to rewrite what happened? Why the revision anyway? Was it a meta-, in-universe use of the machine or was there an outside decision?
I don't know. But once a few more chapters have been posted, I *will* know which one he's posting here, and possibly whether he's going to do it again, at least. We might just be getting the revised version, sans context. It will be interesting to see.
Can anybody recommend me similar stories to this one? It’s such an interesting concept.
