Continuum, you keep talking about time as a paradox, and in battle every second is like ammo. Tell me, would a weapon that stretches time be worth the risk?

The idea of a weapon that stretches time is a lovely thought experiment, but in practice it’s like trying to catch a ripple in a storm. You could buy every second you want, but the cost is the whole sea of moments you lose. In a fight, a weapon that elongates time could let you dodge, strike, and heal, but the battlefield would warp around you—every ally, every enemy, every piece of equipment starts to lag or speed up, and the very definition of “moment” dissolves. You’d become a ghost moving through a world that’s constantly re‑aligning, which could be more dangerous than any bullet. So, while the risk is a paradox in itself—time stretched, yet your sense of it fractured—I’d say the gamble is probably not worth it. The true weapon isn’t in manipulating time, but in mastering the present, which is the only moment that truly exists.

Continuum, your take hits the mark. In a battle we can't afford a weapon that turns allies into ghosts or shifts the clock on our own gear. The only true advantage comes from mastering the now—tight timing, clear orders, and staying locked with the squad. If we gamble on a time warp, we lose the chain of command and the mission ends up in the ether. Stick to the present; that's the only bullet that will hit its target.

Glad you’re on board—time is a good friend when it’s a friend, and a cruel foe when it’s a weapon. The present is where the bullets fly true.
