 "Lieutenant Robin?" questioned Saal, the name stirring a memory inside him, thus spurring him to inquire further.  "Robin who?" "Lieutenant Robin?" questioned Saal, the name stirring a memory inside him, thus spurring him to inquire further.  "Robin who?"
  
-"That doesn't matter," Vic responded soberly, intent to keep the subject on a specific topic.  "The 'who' that matters in this instance is Prince Shavis.  In this reality, he was a terrorist criminal captured while attempting to cross the border into Federation space with eighteen unregistered Orion ore freighters, along with the mutant Kafarians you mention.  Starfleet Intelligence was tracking them for six months -- led by the Doug Forrest of THIS reality, if I'm not mistaken -- and was able to stop their incursion before they crossed the border.  Several platoons of Starfleet Marines died trying to subdue the Kafarians, but they eventually prevailed.  The Remnant attacks of your reality never occurred in this reality."+"That doesn't matter," Vic responded soberly, intent to keep the subject on a specific topic.  "The 'who' that matters in this instance is Prince Shavis.  In this reality, he was a terrorist criminal captured while attempting to cross the border into Confederate space with eighteen unregistered Orion ore freighters, along with the mutant Kafarians you mention.  Starfleet Intelligence was tracking them for six months -- led by the Doug Forrest of THIS reality, if I'm not mistaken -- and was able to stop their incursion before they crossed the border.  Several platoons of Starfleet Marines died trying to subdue the Kafarians, but they eventually prevailed.  The Remnant attacks of your reality never occurred in this reality."
  
 At this point, the former Doug Forrest of the USS Republic universe became physically shocked and emotionally livid.  "Those bastards!" he hissed to himself.  "Those rotten stinking bastards!"  With clenched fists, Theo exclaimed, "we could have stopped the attacks if they had listened to us! They should have LISTENED to us!"  His face collapsed into his hands in defeatism, withdrawing from the conversation to regain control over his anger and disbelief. At this point, the former Doug Forrest of the USS Republic universe became physically shocked and emotionally livid.  "Those bastards!" he hissed to himself.  "Those rotten stinking bastards!"  With clenched fists, Theo exclaimed, "we could have stopped the attacks if they had listened to us!

 "Right," returned Saal, feeling as if his point was proven.  "You said it's hard to ensure that you re-enter the exact quantum reality you left.  How would John Carter have known that he arrived back to the correct quantum reality by using the Guardian of Forever?  Couldn't he have just as easily gone astray into another timeline?  What would keep him on track?" "Right," returned Saal, feeling as if his point was proven.  "You said it's hard to ensure that you re-enter the exact quantum reality you left.  How would John Carter have known that he arrived back to the correct quantum reality by using the Guardian of Forever?  Couldn't he have just as easily gone astray into another timeline?  What would keep him on track?"
  
-Vic's drink neared empty as he continued.  "The easiest explanation is that there are natural vortex bridges linking different realities that make it easier to traverse between them.  While there are nearly an infinite number of quantum realities, they all exist sub-divided into localized networks that I call 'domains'.  Each quantum domain has its own specific time-flow current, where all realities naturally drift towards a single localized point in spacetime.  You can think of them as branches of a river flowing towards the main channel.  The Guardian of Forever taps into that main channel.  Eventually, that main channel will end up flowing into ocean unless you can work your way back upstream into a side channel."+Vic's drink neared empty as he continued.  "The easiest explanation is that there are natural vortex bridges linking different realities that make it easier to traverse between them.  While there are nearly an infinite number of quantum realities, they all exist sub-divided into localized networks that I call 'domains'.  Each quantum domain has its own specific time-flow current, where all realities naturally drift towards a single localized point in spacetime.  You can think of them as branches of a river flowing towards the main channel.  The Guardian of Forever taps into that main channel.  Eventually, that main channel will end up flowing into the 'ocean' unless you can work your way back upstream into a side channel."
  
 "The ocean?" Theo replied, his still-full glass of ale becoming conspicuous compared to the other two scantly-filled goblets.  "What's that?  Some sort of spacetime abyss?" "The ocean?"
