Back home, Quinn had a shower and brooded on a less agreeable topic, his loss of face. It occurred to him that he had the ability to fix this. Once Ryker had repaired the TiTrav, he could travel back in time and warn his former self that he’d got it wrong about the cause of depopulation. Leave Miss Dryden in her own time.

Two objections: one, he had never done this before, and was not sure how it worked. If he went back and did something to change the future, presumably he would return to an altered future where he had not obtained permission to remove Floss; but supposing his action inadvertently changed something else in an undesirable way? To take an extreme example, if he had died in the new future, it would not be possible to return and resume his life. The further back in time one went, the greater the risk of unintended consequences. Ten minutes, an hour would be unlikely to cause problems; a fortnight was a different matter. Ryker might well know the answer, but Quinn did not want to ask him. It would show weakness. Bad enough that he depended on the man to keep the thing working.

The other objection was that, having met Floss, he was unwilling to write her out of his life. She was the most interesting woman he’d met since Kayla five or six years ago; she was his treat, his reward, though for what he did not specify. Quinn was used to getting what he wanted; he was not good at forgoing possible pleasure. He decided to let things be.
