I’ve been tracing my family tree, and ’ve reached this dead end, because Smith is such a common name, and I’d really like to volunteer to make the first manned expedition into the past.

This is the fourth timestep I’ve made, and I can never quite get used to arriving downtime with nary a stitch in place. I know the engineers have explained the scientific reasons why this must be so, something about biostatic energy not being transferable to inert objects, but if that’s the case, why don’t we also lose our teeth, our nails, and hair at the same time?
