Learning to Love Time Loops Without Going Insane

“Where am I?” Andy coughed out of the words before turning to the side and repeating his usual routine.

“Ah yes, You have not been here just yet. Welcome to my humble abode. I’m Ralth. I believe you maintain the awareness of your younger self to some degree once you manifest. Is that correct?” Ralth waited patiently for the answer.

A few minutes passed before Andy raised his head to look back at the man. “Yes, more or less. So I'm going to spend the end of this loop here then?”

“I requested your presence this time. We need the dimensions of the gravity generator from you. The capybaras are able to use a limited form of wormhole travel. It’s how they safely get all their supplies and navigate the jungle, but I also know from experience we will need to start extending the fields just slightly for the upcoming building raids.”

“So your story about being from the future isn’t completely bullshit then? Considering Cal and I just learned we needed to do this, and the loop hasn’t restarted for him yet, I don’t see how else you’d know.”

“Exactly my friend. Albert grab the man a coke and a sketch pad. It’s time to get to work.”

The white flash swept across the caverns just as Andy finished his third soda.
