"In a way," Remi adds reluctantly, "knowing what shape the calendar took in later years and other timelines simplifies the research problem considerably. But the math is nontrivial, and we may deduce from the fact that we don't seem to be overrun by immortals of this type that there is some kind of restriction on the associated technology, which puts further bounds on the system."
[Uh. ACTUAL MATH PEOPLE PLEASE FORGIVE ME FOR THE TECHNOBABBLE; IT'S NOT LIKE ANY OF THIS IS REAL SCIENCE ANYWAY AND I REALLY DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO GET A PHD TO RUN A GAME.]
In response to Sasha's question, Remi meets her eyes and says, still stiff, "I'm sure this sounds trite to you, but I wanted to make life better for refugees and children. I've seen my share of horror. I wasn't sure what would be the best way toward stability--I did some work in psych surgery, thinking I might volunteer to work with traumatized patients. But it was--" He turns his head away, flushing. "It was very upsetting work, and my supervisor recommended that I try something less apt to burn me out." He tilts his head back up again, almost defiantly. "So that's how I wound up in moth research."
