Engineer Zorah personal log #113

"Every time I stop think about you, my heart begins to race. I wish I was brave enough to tell you how I feel. But you are my commander, and I know it would be out of line to suggest anything would happen between us. But a girl can dream, and dream I shall."

Cassette tape #1432 missing portion

-ne is darristically different than the last time. This confirms my theory on the already assumed fact that there is absolutely no possible way to predict changes in timelines- No wait, timelines are fucking stupid. This isn't fucking time travel, otherwise I would've ended the universe by creating a paradox a LOOOOOOOOOONG time ago. What to do..... What to do..... What to do..... I got it, "eventlines" because its a chain of events and not completely linear but it'll still happen in some cases. So it's simillar to time travel but not quite exactly as far as the idea goes. As for the math? Nothing even fucking close to the same. Ok, so I'm bleading out without a way to stop it and I'm not even fucking recording my last goodbyes. Stupid. Ok, Um.... Shit. I'm never good at this when I'm in shock or trauma! Welp, I guess I can make it simple. "I love you", nothing gets more classic than that- No no no that's too fucking cliche. [15 seconds of silence] Eh, screw it. It's not like I'll be able to come up with better anyway. I guess I can just off myself, at least it makes this whole ordeal quicker. *sighs* Why does fucking physics sometimes change? That doesn't even make sense. Hopefully next time isn't d-

[TAPE STARTS] “*sigh* Cycle log 1432. My name is Dr. Adrian Shepard and I….. I-I-I fucked up. I really fucking screwed up…. A lot of people died and I’m pretty sure it’s all my own goddammed fault. I…. I didn’t know that this would HAPPEN! Fuck it, I can just go kill myself again. It’s not like anything would change anyway. This cycle’s timeli-#^&$%$&*%#-ifferent. Fucking chaos theory. Welp, at least I’ve got a game plan! If you’re listening to this sweetie (and I know you will) I love yo- [TAPE CUTS OUT]
