<Snipped quote by Meta>

Nothing, as far as intentions go. It's ancient history now, but when my most recent self received a signal from beyond the boundaries of the universe he was from- this one- it sent just about everything off course. As a scientist, he never meant that, of course. A confined, controlled work, suddenly exposed to the outside world. And now, instead of "Ridge" here as per usual, I have one person from either end of his family tree here instead. The world often contrives our circumstances, doesn't it?

What’s all the talk about “recent selves”? Are you not the same person all the time?
