Concepts Chapter 6 - Time Travel

Time Travel
[Boeing 747 KULDS9019, Kuala Lumpur International Airport, 8:54am 22nd December 2013]

"Hmm? You sound like you know a lot about time travel..." noted Yomi.

"I've had some personal experience with time travel," replied Rokiahi, "I honestly can't recommend it."

"What's it like? To have the universe at your fingertips," Yomi leaned towards Rokiahi, holding up a hand, "And then at any point-" She clamped her hand into a fist, "-Space and time. Gone."

Rokiahi was leaning awkwardly away from Yomi, her head clearly in the aisle. She coughed, "... I never thought about it really. Besides not all time travel is like that."

Yomi backed into her seat, "Oh, that's disappointing..."

Rokiahi leaned back into her own seat, somewhat suspicious, "You're not a criminal are you?"

"Hahaha," Yomi laughed, "No, I just like myself a little darkness."

"Right..."

"So, what did you mean that not all time travel is 'like that'? Are there different kinds of time travel?"

"Yeah, that's exactly what I meant. You see, each world has their own theory of time travel including natives."

"Natives have time travel?"

"No, at least not yet," Rokiahi quickly corrected, "But they still have theories. But there's not much point talking about the theories because-"

"Good afternoon," greeted a rather coarse male voice over the aircraft's speakers, "This is your pilot, Conker, speaking. I totally know how to fly planes- Oy! Hey!"

Another male voice, but more graceful, cleared his throat, "This is your pilot, Lelouch-" There was some gasps and fawning from passengers. "Please ignore the red squirrel. I-"

"What's your problem with red squirrels, huh?" protested Conker, "We're both from Great Britain!"

"Holy Britannian Empire is not the same as Britannia or Britain."

"Then why did you name your country after ours?"

"I did not name my country!" The native hosts and hostesses had already began to show the plane exits and how to operate oxygen masks, ignoring the conflict in the cockpit.

Rokiahi sighed, "This is going to be a long flight..."

"I imagined time travel to be like a plane flight," mentioned Yomi, putting her seatbelt on as the belt light flashed above them.

"Well, time travel is a journey in and of itself," Rokiahi putting her own seatbelt on, "There are many time machines that are vehicles but most aren't."
