This post is for the draftee-only portion of the Zompania draft--the day 3 death, time travel to day 1, and then the events until the arrival of the reinforcements. Be sure to use the above info post for any plotting needs you might have. Enjoy!

Please note that there is a specific top-level comment thread for:

• The day 3 arrival of the draftees and the 6 hours that follow until the bomb is dropped
  
• Death--This thread can be treated as REFERENCE ONLY. Responding to it isn't necessary.
  
• Threads prior to departing for Zompania--post resurrection freak outs, arguments over how to proceed, etc.

All other threading, from day 1 until the reinforcements arrive, should be conducted as normal.

I suppose it would be too simple an explanation to say he accomplished it using whatever technology powers their shifts. Even after all this time, there's not much we know about how they work, is there?

[Only that they can occur naturally, and when done artificially they can be capable of seemingly anything. Even the barrier they lived in was described as something meant to both keep them in, and keep the natural shifts out.]

Even with what little we do know, it seems impossible.

[He scratched his chin, momentarily pondering over what he understood about the Shifts of this world. Time fluxes seemed like a normal thing....but moving a whole population backwards in time so that they can change a future?]

[distressedude]

To be honest, at this point I'm inclined to think they're capable of doing just about anything, so long as the one controlling them knows how to use them.

[Experiments aside, they use them to stock the village, completely create structures of of seemingly nothing, and were even involved in that little test where they were sent back to their own worlds for a day. Moving back time didn't seem all that complicated in the face of things like that.]

....Yeah. Probably. 's weird, even after all this time all this stuff still weirds me out.

[distressedude]

I think that's to be expected. Their technology involving shifts is likely becoming more advanced as time goes on. I imagine they'll only continue to be capable of even more unbelievable things soon enough.

Then we've just gotta expect more crazy crap from them in the future. Then, they can't shock us!

[Problem solved, except Cliff knew that this particular incident would be sticking in his craw for a long while after they got back to their bubble.]
