You know, a while ago, a friend of mine and I were talkin' about whether or not we'd want to see what our futures would be like before they happened. Malcolm was pretty dead set that it'd be something he'd be interested in, but I'd rather not know. Saves me from havin' to question whether I'm doin' it because I'm supposed to or if it's somethin' I'

I think it strains the surprise factor that most of humanity is enamored with. I'd hate to ruin it. On the other hand, I imagine I could increase my wealth and security exponentially. That might make up for the fact that I'd never be surprised.

[inhistorybooks]

Nice to know you've got your focus on the important things.

[the_ironman]

I'm supporting an entire empire of weapons manufacturing. Someone's got to maintain world peace by wielding the biggest stick.

[inhistorybooks]

... You're serious.

[stopthat_destro]

I don't think there's much use in seeing one's future. Without all the context of the situation, you couldn't possibly understand it.

[inhistorybooks]

Exactly. And wouldn't seein' it sorta change the results, anyway?

[stopthat_destro]

Perhaps. And not necessarily for the better.

[inhistorybooks]

So, how was the rest of port for you?

[with_discipline]

Mister Reed never did seem fond of surprises.

[inhistorybooks]

Especially when it was of the prank variety.

[with_discipline]

I seem to recall that when you were involved, he could be quite adept. [Terror Twins. :|]

[inhistorybooks]

That's true. Kinda wish I could show him some of the stuff we've run into here.

[sirius_is_a_dog]

I know quite a bit about my future. It's rubbish.

[inhistorybooks]

How'd you find out?

[sirius_is_a_dog]

From a variety of sources. Two people on board are from my world, but from the future. Another is married to one of them, and she read everything in these books that were written about my godson.

[inhistorybooks]

... Which books?

[Private]

[most_feared]

I have potential futures and potential pasts. They're subject to change with temporal influence. Which is a bitch to tell you the truth.

[Private]

[inhistorybooks]

That sounds... kinda confusin', honestly.
