In the letter I received from my future stuck-in-the-past self in Russia I was told to get help "as soon as I got back home". Well – I've been back a couple of weeks now, so it's not exactly immediate, but then I guess that the Rosy who wrote that letter is probably long dead by now (or very old and still living in Russia perhaps!), so she won't know that actually I've been home for over two weeks already.
BUT – I'm getting on the case!
I have posted ads in various online forums, asking for the help, as instructed in the letter. This is the ad I have posted around; if you know anyone with this kind of experience and/or information, or you can think of other places I might be able to spread the word, please let me know!
Time Traveller with expertise in Particle Accelerator Reconfiguration URGENTLY REQUIRED!
I urgently need the help of a time
traveller (or simply a scientist – personal experience of time travel may not
be absolutely necessary) with expertise in particle accelerator reconfiguration
– specifically someone who knows about converting fixed-point time travel
transporters into mobile devices.
I am a 33 year-old woman and live in
England. Last month in a museum in Russia I was given an old letter addressed
to me, which appears to be written by myself – but which was written in 1928.
The contents of the letter (which is attached as two images) instructed me to
find an expert in this field as soon as possible. Some of the writing is not
very clear so I have worked it out as best I can and typed it out (see below).
I started to develop a time machine earlier this year, which it seems will at some point in the future be
successfully completed, but so far I am in the early stages and do not have the
relevant knowledge to solve this problem.
Are you able to help?

Dear Rosy,
If all has gone to
plan you will receive this letter at the Mayakovsky museum in the Summer of
2015.
I urgently need
your help. In 2017 I successfully made my first journey
through time but arrived in Russia not in 2030 as planned but in 1927, after I
was diverted off-course by a rogue meteor storm on the far side of the
Andromeda galaxy (or it could have been a loose bolt, I’m still not sure). The
resultant force of arrival caused the wormhole exit to shift altogether – it
is now completely lost to me.
Today’s date is
July 19th 1928, V’s 35th birthday. I have been here already for
nearly a year, and there is no way to get back. I know that at this time you know very little
– that is okay. You don’t need to know the answers yet. But you need to do your
utmost to help me! If you go on to make this journey without taking the proper
precautions then the same thing will happen a second time and we risk forming a
time loop from which our liberation may prove difficult.
THE MOST IMPORTANT
THING! – As soon as you
get home, you must begin to search for experts in Particle Accelerator
reconfiguration. I adapted the static generator given to me on the CERN trip but
I should not have been so impatient to use it – by turning a f–[the paper has
worn away here – “fixed”?] point transporter into a mobile device I failed to
take into account the correlatory electromagnetic readjustments necessary for
adequate circular-linear acceleration on my return (specifically the exact
quantities of additional magnets required and their necessary locations. Find
an expert by any means – and remember to make clear that potential
singularities are not the issue – the tunnel here was perfectly stable; the
problem is with forming a new path from my current location! All you have to do
is make sure you have these additional components in place when you make your
trip – that is all. Then, when you go back… well – to be honest, that part is
unknown to me, but theoretically this current timeline will be replaced by your
new one, in which you are – I am – able to leave here at any time.
I have written and
rewritten this letter so many times. By now you have been to Moscow on four
previous occasions, I know, but this trip is your first since work on the time
machine began in earnest, which makes it the earliest feasible date for you to
receive the message and fully understand its seriousness. I couldn’t take the
risk of you reading it before you were ready to – to do so could have had
serious repercussions for all both of us.
It is difficult to
know how much to say so I am saying as little as possible and I’m sorry for
that – I know you must have a lot of questions. Volodya smells lovely all the
time. It’s funny to see him working on things I have already read. People think
my hair is insane – I did one of my inadvertent purple rinses the day I left
and V calls it my phosphorescent halo! Of course it’s mostly grown out now. Not
telling him the future is inevitably more difficult than not telling you the
past… Later this year he will meet Yelena in Nice, for the first and only time.
He doesn’t know it will happen of course, and I haven’t said anything about it,
but I have said that “whenever he comes to meet her” he should tell her
all about me and show her my photo. She’ll be too little to remember but I like
the idea. I miss the Olive like billy-o. When you get back to England, give her
a cuddle like she wouldn’t believe, from me.
Okay – I pray (to
the Gods of 80s beefcake, who I also miss a great deal!) that this gets to you.
You are a bad-ass cut-throat bitch, keep doing what you’re doing! And – at the
risk of interfering with your future in a way I definitely should not: Aug 19th/20th 2016 – NO! NO!
NO! Trust me!
With all the LOVE!
Rosy xxx
– p.s. If you
cannot find the parts you need, DO NOT use
the time machine!
Rosy dearest, I do wish I had the scientific knowledge you need so I could help!!
ReplyDeleteI love your time travel adventures, keep the posts coming xxx
Hello Rosy please respond if there is someone that knows anything about time machine parts It's John Titor look for him and talk to him on facebook
ReplyDeleteFascinating.
