Temporal Reset

Type: intangible
PROBLEM

The timeline has been altered and someone has to go fix it.

SOLUTION
The Temporal Reset is the mechanism by which a diverged timeline is collapsed back toward its original configuration, or alternatively abandoned entirely in favor of the improved one, depending on who is operating it and how their 2010 was going. It requires exact timing, a volatile and probably illegal input introduced at a precise moment into the correct vortex, and the full cooperation of everyone involved, one of whom will decide at the last second to stay behind. The Reset does not guarantee return to the original timeline. It guarantees return to a timeline. Whether that timeline matches the departure point is a function of how strictly the Prime Directive was observed during the interval, which is to say it is almost never the original timeline and is usually better for at least one person who had nothing to lose. The Temporal Reset is not reversible. Once the vortex closes, the window is gone. Lou is not coming back. Lou is fine.
