    if noj-R is correct in thinking the machine isnt built yet. that would mean that they have to go to the future to prevent more things happening.

    Or they could just kill Ulti and end the problem at the root.

    Dr. Odine: Eghhhhhh! I kept this a secret to surprise you... It iz
    because of me, Odine! I researched Ellone's power long ago. I made out
    a pattern from ze current running through Ellone's brain. Once ze
    pattern was determined, it was easy to mechanize. It may only be a toy
    right now, but in ze time of Ultimecia, it iz an impressive working
    machine! Which means there iz a machine which imitates Ellone's power.
    It iz I who made ze first model of zat machine.
    I named ze machine
    'Junction Machine Ellone'! It iz a vonderful thing to know that my
    invention is used in ze future!

    I suppose you could argue that it is fate. By it's not. It is essentially the opposite. The future is malleable: Your decisions and actions can change it. But the past is not so forgiving. If you change the past, you change the present. But how far can you stretch it? If you change the past so much that you don't exist, will you have been alive in order to change the past? And if you erase yourself from time, then would you not have been there to erase yourself, and thus you will still exist? The paradox is an infinite loop. Of course, since the future time period is the present to the people existing in it, then the same rules apply to it. The people from the future cannot change the past (our present) to the point where they prevent themselves from making that change. It is one of the real headaches that comes from dealing with time travel to the past. As I said, it is not the theory that I suscribe to, but it is a viable explanation for why destroying JME was not an option.

    I know. Fun, isn't it?
    My friend Delzethin is currently running a GoFundMe account to pay for some extended medical troubles he's had. He's had chronic issues and lifetime troubles that have really crippled his career opportunities, and he's trying to get enough funding to get back to a stable medical situation. If you like his content, please support his GoFundMe, or even just contribute to his Patreon.

    He can really use a hand with this, and any support you can offer is appreciated.

    Should we really reopen 16 day old threads?
