Records of FATE
Subject: Time Crash
Who knows were this will end up? If FATE knows, she isn't telling. But I will try my hardest to chronicle the discoveries of the research scientists as they appear.
First, of course, we must discuss the strange phenomenon that has been named, "Time Crash". The cause of this effect was not discovered until recently: that is until we found the Arbiter (more about the Arbiter later). The basic theory is that when . . . but no, this is too advanced for now. First, let me explain Fate. Note I use Fate, and not FATE. This will be explained later. But I digress. "For every action there is equal, yet opposite reaction." This is the Third Law of Physics which all highschool students learn in Physical Science. At least, they should have taken that class, but in this age of delinquents, I highly doubt it. Anyway, back to the Third Law. "For every action . . ." This rule even applies to everyday life. "Of course it does!" you might say. And that is exactly right. This law affects and directs all moving of kinetic energy which governs the motion of objects. However, this law does only govern the forces of motion. It guides everyday life. That's right. Not 'affect'; 'guides'. This control is something of what we call Fate. But only a measure. Fate itself is what ordinary men call a god. I prefer to think of it as a system of mathematical rules and laws that govern men's daily actions.
But, like all things, even Fate is subject to the laws of Physics. Ergo, every action a human makes has a consequence that FATE must deal with and predict. That is FATE's purpose, her design. But I will talk about her later in this journal. Back to "Time Crash". The experimental research facility that discovers and studies anomalies in the time-space continuum called Chronopolis, founded and built by the sentient computer system, called FATE, which was designed by the genius scientist Belthasar off the specs of the computer defense system Motherbrain, was engaged in some experiments that dealt with an artifact also created by Lucca, dubbed the Time Egg. This little beauty was an ingenious invention that utilized a miniature black hole to warp the continuum and travel through time. To understand this concept, one must again turn to the laws of physics. Namely the scientist named Einstein, and his General Theory of Relativity. This theory states that gravity is not an attracting force, but a force that bends the continuum. This is why planets have orbits. If this makes no sense, think about this and do this experiment.
Place a cushion on the floor and flatten it out as much as possible. The top must be flat in order for this to work. First, roll a marble across the surface. It should roll straight. Now place a bowling ball in the center of the cushion. Again roll the marble across the surface. It no longer rolls straight, does it? Instead, the marble should curve towards the bowling ball in the center. This experiment, along with a ton of mathematics, shows that objects with more mass, bend the time-space continuum. Now black holes have one heck of a lot of mass. Thus, they bend time-space a lot. Some think that when one enters a black hole, and survives, that he ends up in an alternate dimension. The same theory works for the Time Egg. The mini black hole in the Time Egg bends the space around it, and when used in conjunction with the mystical object called the Masamune, one can travel though time.
Of course, this is only a theory. But it seemed to have worked, as we were thrown back in time when the Time Crash happened, and the Time Crash happened while we were experimenting on the Time Egg. Unfortunately, even with the occurred results, we still don't know anything about it. FATE has already issued an order that all unnecessary non-research organisms are to be escorted out of the city, after FATE wipes their memories, and are to live on the artificial islands called El Nido, or in the ancient language, The Nest. This archipelago was created in our original time of 2400 A.D. The archipelago was created because our founder, Belthasar, found a gravitational anomaly in the area were El Nido now rests. This anomaly was extracted in the form of the Frozen Flame, an object of great power that we are still studying. The Flame was extracted in 2300A.D. The Flame, when FATE found out how powerful it is, was connected to the FATE mainframe. After that, some of us scientist, notice a change in FATE. She continually harassed us about our discoveries on the Flame and Time Egg. It seemed to us that she wanted to be able to travel back. We insisted that it was impossible, time travel that is, but she didn't listen. Even now in 1020 A.D., we are wondering if this is the past, or a different dimension. I suppose that it doesn't matter. All that we can do is continue to study the Time Egg, and try to find a way to reverse the process.
A/n: This is going to be my first multi-chapter fic. I am going to continue no matter how many reviews I get, but don't think you can stop reviewing. I still need criticism. Also, if the point of view seems weird, just remember, the author of this journal is from the future who is in the past. Reviewer Responses will be in the next chaper.
