This is how time travel works in the Magellanverse… any backwards travel immediately splits out an alternative from the traveller's own timeline. ANd yes, I though of this before the Star Trek movie. I'm sure it's not an original take on the concept, but I justthought I'd mention I wasn't copying what happened in that movie. Anyway, I don't know if the word “chroner” has previously been used for a time-traveller but I quite liked it - shorter than “time traveller” and a more naturally colloquial word tha “chrononaut”…
Tomorrow… the trouble with Bio-Nexuses!
Thanks for reading and commenting. Be sure to check out Crossoverkill which features Hoodoo from Magellan and a heap of other awesome superhero webcomics…

well, there's that too of course. The rating system was particularly pointless since, in all but the rarest of instances it was almost always rated "5"... but it did give some readers a chance to say they liked the update without having to say anything about it.

Well, I don' hit the "Like" for the same reason I never rated comics (except ones I wrote--I'm like that): I find such a system to be asinine and shouldn't my liking the comic be evident in the fact that it's in my favorites? I know I do this explicitly to follow them easier, but that obviously means I like them enough to want to do that.

@jamoecw: yes, I expect I might have a few more than 6 regulars here, but I think people are still trying to work out what's going on at The new Duck. The two weeks down time and ongoing glitches might have put others off the scent, etc... it does seem like things are settling down again, so we'll see if things pick up again. re: flowcharts - I fully expect that time travel is taught at Magellan, though probably not in first year. Thanks for the feedback, y'all!

still only 6 people like this, something is wrong, you have more than 6 regular readers. time travel is pretty easy stuff if you make a flow chart, is there a flow chart class at magellan? In respect of military method, we have, firstly, Measurement; secondly, Estimation of quantity; thirdly, Calculation; fourthly, Balancing of chances; fifthly, Victory.

head spinning is all about technique.

I think that's how time travel works in the Marvel Universe.
