Time Matrix Spoiler Qs for Megamorphs 3
« on: July 14, 2015, 01:59:36 PM »
Time Matrix errors?

[spoiler]Prologue: Elfangor has the Time Matrix, which can be used to travel backwards in time, enabling its user to erase entire species from history.  Elfangor doesn't trust anyone with that sort of power, so he decides to dispose of it.  Since the Time Matrix is taller than a human, and physically impossible to destroy, Elfangor decides to dig a hole and bury it.  Why doesn't he just dump it in the sun? 

Chapter 42: Ax says that the Time Matrix was very easy to operate.  "It could be directed by thought-speak command.  There were no codes to break, no subtleties to grapple with."  Given the power of this device, why didn't its creators protect it with lots of codes?  [/spoiler]

By the time he was preparing to get rid of it, he was on Earth, living as a human, without the means to hurl things into the sun.
Personally, destructible or not, I won't be comfortable hurling that thing into a sun.


As for it's creators, they probably don't consider it all that big a deal. A creator probably had other means to check that kind of power, like the Drode suggests of Crayak.

Or they were hopelessly naive like the pemalites, and never imagined anyone doing any harm with it
Something, something, oh crap I pissed everyone off again....

P 2 of MM3: Elfangor buried the Time Matrix BEFORE morphing permanently to human.

I had assumed that Elfangor had made the decision to ditch the Time Matrix before landing on Earth, so would have still had access to a spaceship, which he could have used to dump that Time Matrix into the sun.

He didn't take a spaceship to Earth, Lauren used it the TM to take them to a point in time on Earth where it'd be believable that she was near 20.

That last ship they had was the Jahar, which was making it's way toward a black hole

He didn't. The Jafar was the only ship they had during that event.

Why didn't Elfangor and Loren use the Time Matrix to transport themselves AND their spaceship to Earth?  Then they could have placed the Time Matrix on the spaceship and programmed it to dive into a black hole.  Or just flown the ship to near the sun, dumped off the Time Matrix, and returned to Earth.

They didn't have a spaceship to take back to earth. It was destroyed by the blackhole
