…mm. I’m not sure about that one. About changing history.
I could ask the Admiral if you want. I’ve just…kinda shied away from it myself because changing one thing could change a bunch of other things.
Like- just to use an example. I recently asked the Admiral for my life back and someone else’s. But there’s a difference between asking for that and…asking that our deaths never happened at all.
There's the possibility it could change a lot of things, yeah.
[ Which is why he prefers not to risk it. ]
That one I'm sure he can do, though - bringing people back without changing things. I'd died about....two or three years before the Admiral approached me in, uh...my world's version of what comes after. I went back home a little while ago, after I got my life back, and...well, there were some really awkward and emotional conversations. Because I was dead, you know? Everybody who remembered me knew that.
So that part of the timeline didn't change. I just didn't stay dead.
“It’s more flexible than that,” Zack replies. “My last deal was for my life and someone else’s. And she’s…actually the last of a nonhuman race of people that use to be the stewards of our Planet. I’m gonna ask her what she thinks of bringing them back the next time I go home for a visit since…well, it’s not a decision I think I should make without her input.”
“I mean, I think it is. Though you might appreciate the perspective of the Wardens who used to be Inmates a bit more than mine since I didn’t start where you are. I can think of a couple off the top of my head, if you’d like to speak to them.”
