It's inevitable.

What are you referring to?

[Because, like Trip, the Earth he knew of was a little backwater but fine.]

[last_kodiak]

Your future, of course.

The one you created.

[majorum_pride]

[This is... odd. But it's at least answers.]

The Magog have progressed as far as Earth? [He hates the Magog, hates them so much.] ...And the Nietzcheans?

[last_kodiak]

You did not survive.

Therefore, that future is closed to you.

[Nanomites turn Tyr into a grade A jerk.]

[majorum_pride]

[Fortunately, Rhade half expected this. Half.]

I chose not to survive. [Moving on.] How did Dylan Hunt show up three centuries ahead of me?

[last_kodiak]

[Dammit.]

You tell me. Humans don't live that long.
