Comic Page CALPURNIO EL BUENO DE CUTTLAS I NEED YOU TO DO THIS FOR ME WHEN? IT IS TOO LATE FOR YOU TO DO THAT FOR HIM NOW, YOU KNOW? MY APPEARANCE HERE HAS CHANGED EVERY- THING, YOUR PLANS ARE IN DISARRAY AND YOUR MIND IS CONFUSED. "WHO AM I?", YOU ASK WHO ARE YOU, STRANGER? TIME IS TRANSPARENT TO ME. I CAN SEE BEFORE ME, AND BEHIND. I AM HERE TO TEACH AND WHAT CAN YOU TEACH ME, INCOHERENT STRANGER? ALL WHAT? ALL! YOU THINK OF TIME AS A SEQUENCE OF MOMENTS. YOU SHOULD NOT WHY NOT? IF TIME IS NOT SEQUENTIAL THEN WHAT IS IT? FOR THE BULLET IS ONLY FIRED AFTER I HAVE PULLED THE TRIGGER AND WITH THAT COMMENT THE TYRANNY OF VIDEO IS REVEALED. AN ENTIRE SOCIETY's THINKING CONSTRAINED AND STUNTED THIS IS TOO MUCH YOU SAY YOU WILL TEACH BUT INSTEAD YOU BABBLE. YOU SAY YOU UNDERSTAND BUT ALL YOU DO IS SNEER. YOU SAY TIME IS TRANSPARENT BUT YOU DO NOT EXPLAIN ANYTHING TO ME YOU ARE NOT READY MAYBE I AM NOT CORRECT! AND THAT UNREAD- INESS IS PRECISELY WHY YOU ARE READY, RIGHT NOW ? TIME IS NOT SEQUENTIAL, IT IS PARALLEL THERE WAS JUST ONE MOMENT AND IT LASTED FOR BUT AN INSTANCE. BUT IT WAS INFINITE IN DEPTH, THE WHOLE UNIVERSE STANDING SIDE BY SIDE THIS IS MADNESS IF TIME IS NOT SEQUENTIAL THEN WHAT IS STOPPING US FROM ABANDONING THIS LINEAR EXISTENCE WE PURSUE? NOTHING BUT WHAT OF CAUSE AND EFFECT? WHAT OF DEATH? CAN WE IGNORE DEATH, CHOOSE TO LIVE IN JUST THOSE MOMENTS WHERE WE EXIST? AND WHAT IS THE FUTURE? NOTHING THE FUTURE IS NOTHING? WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN? DO YOU EVEN KNOW? YOUR SILENCE SUGGESTS NOT. A WORLD WITHOUT CAUSE AND EFFECT IS A WORLD WITHOUT MORALITY, A WORLD WITHOUT EVEN MEMORY FOR IF ALL MOMENTS HAPPEN AT ONCE, OUR MEMORIES SUGGEST THAT OUR PATH THROUGH THESE MOMENTS IS PREDETERMINED ANYWAY NO! CONSCIOUSNESS IS NOT EXPLAINED IN JUST FOUR DIMENSIONS. CONSCIOUSNESS COMES FROM BEYOND OUR PHYSICAL AND TEMPO- RAL UNIVERSE. SEE HOW WE HAVE RETURNED TO AN EARLIER TIME BUT THIS IS NOT THE SAME WE WERE NOT EVEN SAYING THE SAME THINGS. IT IS A DIFFER- ENT MOMENT. WE HAVE NOT EVEN SPOKEN YET WHAT? YOU ARE TRULY INSANE. I AM CLEARLY SPEAKING TO YOU, AND YOU ARE SPEAKING TO ME THIS IS ALL IN YOUR MIND TIME IS TRANSPARENT TO ME. I CAN SEE BEFORE ME, AND BEHIND. I AM HERE TO TEACH EVEN THIS IS NOT THE SAME WILL YOU TwO BE LONG? I AM WAITING TO DO SOMETHING, REMEMBER, AND IT IS QUITE URGENT, AND IT IS YOUR TURN, ALSO, SO CAN YOU HURRY UP. WE'RE GETTING RESTLESS SILENCE JUST A MOMENT ONCE YOU HAVE FREED YOURSELF FROM THE TYRANNY OF SEQUENCE... PLEASE HURRY UP I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THIS IF ITS ALRIGHT WITH YOU I MUST RETURN TO MY GAME. I AM NOT QUITE SURE WHAT YOU WANT I FELL THROUGH TIME TODAY. IT WAS BEAUTIFUL SO WHAT WAS THAT ALL ABOUT, THEN? I HAVE NO IDEA
