I'm glad you at least agree on that. Although if you recall, I did mention no living being except for me and cockroaches survived the apocalypse. As things stand I have no idea why the Commission wants to keep the timeline intact, and I'm not discounting the possibility that billions of years after that, new species might have evolved from that shitshow.

The Commission itself is in possession of technology far above what normal people have. Apparently they would have been able to make a new body for me to fix this mistake.

[ a pause, then he adds— ]

I grew up normally in the Apocalypse, but I miscalculated when I traveled back in time. That's why I look like a thirteen year old boy. But I am fifty-eight.

Either way. Like you say. This is exactly why I sympathize with Emet-Selch, and his kind.

[ at that there's a sigh and he finishes the rest of his drink in one go ]

But I understand your point of view. It's just unfortunate.
