Sky stood back for a moment, unsure of what to do. The boy, recently dubbed Simon, was way too excited about the whole situation to pay attention to anything logical she had to say. Nathan, somewhat similarly, only seemed interested in learning more about how and why the time machine worked. Neither of them appeared concerned with safety protocols; not that the young woman knew exactly what precautions to take in a situation like this. Simon seemed confident he knew what information to withhold to not disturb anything from his time, but Miss Donahue was ever cautious and worried there might be other factors they needed to account for.

Eventually, Skylar decided on what she believed was the most logical course of action. The boy should return to his time immediately and they should write down everything that transpired during the boy’s visit. Future visits should be planned and carefully recorded. Trips should be short with minimal information shared. If the boy could manage, he should carefully take note of his environment for any signs of changes to the future. They should be careful. Watching as the two males went about their excited business, she shook her head. [i]Them? Be careful and organized? Looks like I’m going to have to handle this.[/i]

“Simon, why did you come here today? Was it just to visit your grandfather?” Sky glanced at Nathan as she spoke, “He had big plans to try out his machine today, but I’m not sure we can do that if you’re here… Maybe you could visit another time? When we’re more ready?” [i]Please?[/i]
