This wasn't even long enough to post in a text file. Mets has termed this universe #1337
“Radical change over time, I'll bite, what changes?”
“If the Nylarians destroy the ship any further from Earth, Zeltar never gets the wrecked shuttle here, and Fyber never fixes it and goes off to learn about the Zentaxians and their xenotech. His life is radically altered to a much more civilian path, and he never meets me in person, passes on xenotech, or gets on the bad side of Arvix or Turner, neither of whom ever find Xenotech either since the ships spiral away instead of into our gravity well.”
“Sounds boring. What about me?”
“Without Turner, you stay with your parents in the Midwest and become an average student, and never take up the name of 'Shadow.'”
“And you, aside from not learning about Xenotech?”
“I’ll be a high education student in the south somewhere.”
“All right, it all sounds wonderfully boring, what the catch of the idea?”
“We’d all still know each other anyway, thanks to an internet chat!”
“That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard Boris...”
