Chap 0: Disruptions in the proper flow of reality



The Entity was bored.

It had been at its post for eons. 

Monitoring. 

Watching. 

Boring.

How it wished for something to change.

Which was why the Entity was intrigued when it detected the first disturbance in a single time thread and did not isolate it, as he should have, but instead first decided to observe it.

Intrigue turned to surprise when it examined the time line and saw how extreme a disruption it was.  

The surprise turned to alarm as it observed how this disturbance was repeating in many other time streams nearby. **Uh OH** An infection? The time lines were not supposed to be alterable in this fashion! What to do? Oh, Yes..

"Isolate and contain all altered time lines," it commanded.  The lines shifted apart forming two groups. Those time lines that had been unaffected and those that had been 'infected' as he thought of the other group.

The other rather large group. 

Oh sure it was not as large as the unaffected group, but still that was the problem with an infinite number of universe.  Even a billion universes is small in comparison.

**Damn!**

The Entity thought for a while.  A disruption this large would necessitate some correction but that would take a large expenditure of time and resources.  Better to advise his superiors of this development.

A second Entity appeared at his summons, "What has happened?"

The first Entity explained the disruption and the startling affect it had had on the nearby time lines.

"Where did the disturbance originate," Entity #2 asked. A single time line moved to the front.  As the two beings began to focus in on the event that had so dramatically altered its own time stream no to mention so many others, a second disruption occurred. Fascinated, they watched as the alterations were undone and the time line reset to its normal flow.  The other time streams followed in the same fashion resetting themselves back to their original states.  

"Have they all been corrected?" asked Entity #1 as the second Entity examined the details of the differing time streams.

"Not completely," replied #2.  "There is a residue present in all affected streams.  I do not believe that all events that are now present as time stream deviation points are correct.  An intervention will be required for inspection and correction of all time threads."

"Who?" queried #1. 

"Well, I believe that I can do it," answered #2,"however it would require-"

"No" interrupted a quite voice as a third Entity appeared.  "We are not allowed to enter into the time threads."

"But the damages require some form of action on our part," stated #2.

"Yes," replied #3,"but not in the manner you have suggested.  I can see only a few paths that will result in a minimum of disruption.  In a short while, the creature that produced this disruption will attempt another and in doing so, will bring to us the means to correct these problems.  We must be ready to act when needed."

"What shall we do until then?" asked #2.

"You can monitor for the next disruption.  When it occurs, you are to watch what it does, track it and summon us.  It will try to contact that," #3 said pointing at an odd shadow of a thread time line. 

Entity #3 turned to the first Entity and for the first time let some of his anger leak through. "Your delay in the isolation of this disruption was responsible for the large number of lines affected!"

Entity #1 acknowledged his guilt.  "I accept my responsibility and offer myself up for punishment."

"Ha!" said #3 "And let you out of helping to fix this mess.  No.  You are to begin a time line inspection and record ALL deviations, no matter how minor, from this line," he indicated the original thread.  "Additionally, you are to inspect for those time deviation points which have been changed and determine which can and cannot be altered.  We will have to make corrections to bring as many of these lines back on track to their original destinies as possible.  Those that cannot be corrected will have to be eliminated."  With that, #3 vanished.

The first Entity looked at #2 who was concentrating on the multitude of time lines and ignoring him. **Oh great, demoted from boring to tedious.  'Be careful what you wish for' I suppose. Still could have been worse. I had better get started.  Let's see...  Universe #8990333..."
