A pirate's tactic

[freearcadia]

This is more directed to those, who like me have been dragged to this world, though I won't fault a native for listening in.

I am curious as to what we might have in common: world names, languages, culture, technology - and what is different.

This isn't just idle curiosity or a means of trying to find some comfort of familiarity in such a strange land, but I suspect if there is enough of a commonality in one area or another, we could in someway use it to our advantage against the Empire.

I have not, but the sea of stars is vast, however it does seem like our Earths are not the same.

[He rest a curled finger against his chin thoughtfully]

[minorinasskicking]

Even so, we still know a common language. I'm kind of curious as to how that happened.

But I guess this could come in handy. Maybe we'll find other people who know our language?

[freearcadia]

I remember hearing of a concept of "possible world" of worlds that could exist if different choices, or outcomes happen, some argue this means alternate realities can exist.

So it is possible all of our home realities exist due to one sort of deviation or another - but I am not a Quantum Physicist, so don't ask me for the exact explanations.

Oh, I've run into something like that! Ten years ago, a time traveler from the future came to warn us about a new threat that we'd be facing, and one that still existed in the time he came from. He later learned that he didn't alter his own timeline, but created a brand new one -- the one that I live in.

[Time Travel, that catches his attention - tilting his head slightly.]

I guess it seems to be a constant that you cannot change the past...

[Harlock replies softly, his voice distant]

[That comment piques Gohan's curiosity.]

Do you have some experience with it yourself?

[freearcadia]

[He shook his head]

No, but I've heard stories. I did encounter someone who could manipulate time in an enclosed space so it'd run much slower than on the outside, like the Dragon's Palace or the fairy lands of Europe.

[That has Gohan mildly surprised.]

I've seen that, too! I know of a room where a day outside the room equals a whole year inside the room. I've used it for training before, as has my dad and some of our friends.

[He had no idea there would be anything like that elsewhere, as the room was in a mystical location itself.]
