Alice Carroll: Difference between revisions

At some point, Ace became separated from [[the Dominie|her travelling companion]]. She found herself temporarily blind and cared for in an unfamiliar place by a mysterious man named [[Dorsai]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Left Hand of Darkness (audio story)|The Left Hand of Darkness]]'')

In a different version of history, the Professor and Ace visited a [[temple]] built on a "weak point in the [[Linear Universe|linear universe]]", whose clerics were instantly aware that many timelines overlapped over Ace. She was given a glimpse of her and the Professor's adventures bringing down the Protectorate, and was disturbed to realise that she did not remember anything about the event. When she rejoined the Professor, he confessed that he didn't remember either, and moreover, had not been aware that his history had been rewritten, even though he usually did. Ace asked if a mysterious "[[Meddler (Republica)|him]]" they'd defeated in the past "after all this timeline rubbish" was to blame, while the Professor was more evasive, stating that there were others who could "meddle with things". They had a heart-to-heart about the moral weight of people from aberrant timelines, with the Professor reaffirming that "everyone mattered" even if they were native to unstable timelines.
