I'm busy trying to write a paper on this stuff, and see how it runs along without me?

So, let me see if I've digested all of this. We have a 12 Monkey's scenario. But our mysterious future informant is not fighting to be believed, he believes himself. (God! Time travel needs new pronouns.) Let me try again. Adam-present trusts Adam-future's information to be accurate. Now the conflict is not trust but time and useful information.

Questions:

Does Adam know who is after Eve? Can we find anything on this Romanian hitman?

As far as we know now, nothing has changed about the timeline of events. I suppose that the Timeline 1 Eve also attempted to hide and evade, and was still murdered in Time's Square. Can we mark any notable change between Timelines 1 and 2?

Where is TSO getting his information? Who is the mole in TSO? What is EYE, and what is it's purpose? Where did Dante go?

Damn. Every answer breeds two more questions.

I'll supply a decent world. The divergent event between Timeline one and 2 would be the 'nexus point.' Oh and I agree that we need better pronouns when discussing time travel events.

I really like to have new pronouns. Smile
I would suggest hef and himf and hisf for the future. Besides that they sound funny they are easy to remember. So the sentence "He will write" is synonym with "Hef has written" Smile

I am not sure if we already left timeline 1 at the moment when Adamf contacted Adam. Up to now we do not know if this has happened in timeline 1.

While we don't know what rules this one plays by, the general convention in SF involving branched timelines is that the timeline begins to branch at the instance of contact between timeline 1 future and timeline 1 past. The branch now becomes timeline 2. This way of thinking allows timeline 1 to continue existing, thus able to make the contact that causes timeline 2.

If there was only a single timeline, the instant of contact would erase timeline 1 from the moment of contact forward, rewriting it but not allowing for any future contact.

We know this story follows the second model, or something similar, because Adam-f is periodically in contact with us and with Adam-p.

Don`t forget the Grandfather paradox: if this virus is never released, there would be no TSO or STV or even EYE, though I suspect EYE is on-or at-2009, and then we would know nothing about the virus and.... God, my head aches.

With branching timelines, there is no possibility of paradox. Any action that could cause paradox simply causes another branch.

Of course... the more detailed you get with this, the more complicated you can make it.

I think our answer will be found if we can get some information on the artwork.

Happy Pi Day all.

More things to try out

Hi,

I recently joined the search for what is going on here. If anyone is interested, I will introduce myself with more meaningful words later.

For now, I have this to add:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

Could "Object Day" also be a hint to the object of the virus (as in mission objective)? I tried death90024010 in a few variations, but no luck so far.
