The first thing I'd want to do is rescue the scrolls from the library in Alexandria just before they were destroyed.

And now that I'm older, another thing I'd like to do is talk to my late grandparents and find out more about them.

(Both of these quests are essentially the same, recovering lost information)

Question sweetmmeblue July 12 2014, 23:03:43 UTC

How would rescuing the scrolls nit change the timeline? That would add so much information, there maybe things in there that would change the timeline had they not been destroyed?

The library would still be destroyed, but the information in the scrolls would not. That wouldn't change the timeline between now and then, people would continue to think that the scrolls were destroyed during that period. Going forward in time, the timeline hasn't yet occurred, so there isn't a timeline to change.

So you would save them just to save them and not share them in that timeline?

You should look at the Company series by Kage Baker. First one being In The Garden Of Iden.

Attend a whole lot of concerts and gigs of various musicians.

alexandria, yeah.

see the bard's plays as originally staged. lots of concerts, particularly when bands were young and new. hang out at the algonquin round table. meet my parents when they were a young couple. grandparents, too. if I can be an invisible fly on the wall, listen in on those missing 18 minutes in nixon's office and listen to the continental congress debating the declaration of independence and see if Pope John Paul I really was assassinated.

i don't know about witnessing some of the horrors of history. curious, but probably not that curious.

I would like to meet my husband's mother, who died very young.
