The farseer would ask how, then the Imperials would call WITCH and shoot you on the spot It wouldnt end up well in my opinion

 

^said it all^:goodpost:

 

Farseer would want to know how you did it, so that he could prevent the fall by traveling back fin time.

The Space Marine would just shout "Burn the witch" and you would be dead in the matter of seconds.

The Inquisitor, he might have various reactions, one might kill, an other might capture you and torture information out of you.

Da Boy would just get blind for a few seconds, and thenshout WAAAAAGH before "crumpin" you.

The Imperial Guardsman, he would probably get so scared that he runs for his poor little life, or if he has some courage, he would just stand there and point a gun at you, but his hands would shake so much that he cant shoot, what a coward.

The Chaos Sorcerer might either sacrifice you to his gods, or rip the information out of you and then he would sacrifice you, so your dead either way...

 

The necron then says: "So that`s where my time machine went." Before retrieving it and going back in time, where he attempts to kill a woman named Sarah Connor.

 

Lol, nice.

I agree with the general sentiment: Fareer would be curious, Space Marine would put a bolt in your brain, the Inquisitor would burn you or perhaps interrogate you first, the Ork would throw you half a mile, the Guardsman would either flee or shoot you as a first reaction, and the Sorcerer would probably insult you before killing you and dismantling your body one part at a time. For fun.

 

The eldar farseer will be there waiting for you, because he set you up to travel forward in time himself forty thousand years into the future. He'll pat you on your head and send you on your way with the knowledge that, somehow, you've just been played.

 

But the problem is... where did you land? For all you know, you could of come out of the time warp directly on top of him.
"Not... as... planned..."

 

can you speak before they react violently, and if you can then the sorcerer may not kill you if you say something related to their god


you also left out the ethereals

 

can you speak before they react violently, and if you can then the sorcerer may not kill you if you say something related to their god

Nah, even then he might kill you. Maybe more painfully than what he originally had in mind. I mean, why would he let you, a simple, puny human talk about the god of a superhuman psycho bastard?

 

This brings up another sub question: if your time traveling device allows you to travel through time through means that no one has ever discovered before and you are the only one who knows how to do it (and operate the machine/device), how valuable would you be to the onlooker if they understood your case?

 

Well i suppose the SM might think quickly and realise you could warn the emperor about whorus thus preventing his acsension and invoking a variation on the grandfather paradox.

The guardsman would shoot first, then runaway and tell the commisar about the shiny flashy light thing and be executed for running away/being insane.

The farseer would probably pretend he forsaw the whole thing (everyone knows that's what they do- wait until something happes then say "i knew that would happen")

The Ork Boy probably wouldn't notice

The inquisitor would torture you until you gave up the secrets of the time machine and then instate himself as the emperor

And the CSM sorcerer would probably steal the secrets from your mind and use the time machine to become the most powerful thing in the warp.

 

you know what, screw it im going to arrive unnoticed join a sm chapter then fake my death and leave for chaos

 

The librarians and chaplains will notice...so will the inquisitors, they notice just about everything...supposedly

 

And an Ethereal would greet you with: "Nice tech, wanna join our empire?"

 

Your all crazy!!!

If they are all there together like that, they'd obviously try to kill each other first. Now, depending on who won, this is what would happen:

I'm just going to assume that a space marine is a generic space marine from the ultrasmurfs. He would, I think, if he won the battle, capture you and your new tech and take you back to his captain, who would interrogate you, then when he learns of your new tech that can travel through time, he'd take you to the Marneus Calgar, who would probably try to prevent the Horus Heresy itself. With you hopefully being properly rewarded, since the Ultramarines tend to be fairly decent human beings, not 'killy killy, burny burny' like certain other sm chapters.

The Guardsman, who through some strange luck or martial prowess of the highest degree, won the battle, would probably ask you if you were an Adept of the Mechanicum, and then, depending on your answer, either take you back to his command, who would send you to Segmentum Command, and use your invention to win even more battles(or call an inquisitor). Or if you said you were Mechanicum, then just leave you alone, so you can go to another time that makes more sense.

An Inquisitor, who I assume is a moderate(neither puritan nor radical) will probably do a smart thing. Inquisitors are the best of the best of humanity,so I think, will probably see the value of being master of time and space. You will probably either be tortured and stripped of all your secrets, but hopefully the inquisitor will know just how fragile the human mind is, so instead either let you teach the mechanicum your secrets, or make you part of his retinue, where he travels through time and learns secrets and helps out humanity. Thus is the origins of The Doctor, former Inquisitor.

Now, the Farseer, probably already forseeing your arrival, had already had a webway gate built right where you would arrive, and when you arrive, reinforcements come and take you into the webway. Back at the Farseer's craftworld, he tries to be reasonable with you to help him stop the fall of the eldar. You agree, cause eldar are so peruasive, and the eldar are restored....what he doesn't tell you is that he also made sure to destroy humanity before it became a problem. You just got pwned.

The Ork Boy is too busy having the time of his life in an 8-way free-for-all. A Mekboy, on the other hand, would, if he won, kill you and loot the time-machine. Only having to believe that it works, he travels back in time and wages wars with every race that ever existed as well as races when they were younger, etc...

The Sorcerer, well, he probably already time travels all the time...

A Necron Lord probably would just flay you alive, and destroy you machine. Necrons have already invented time travel.

A tyranid would kill you as well. Tyranids don't use tech.

Well, hope you enjoy reading my opinion.:victory:

 

Your all crazy!!!

The Guardsman, who through some strange luck or martial prowess of the highest degree

You mean he hid until the rest of them were dead?

 

Your post theory functions, if time works as a convergent stream, which depending upon what theory you use as your postulation basis, it doesn't.

If you were to use a divergent time stream basis, then me going back in time, killing my father, would in no way effect me. As the moment I went back a new time line was visited, not the one I originally came from, thus I'm altering an entirely different string rather then the one I am stitched upon, I effect that lux, but not myself.

Or there is also the string basis we could use, that infinite realities/time lines all exist simultaneously, no direction as in no past, future, rather you could go to any point in any theoritical time line to experience any imaginable possibility. Thus killing my father wouldn't effect me, I would simply be in a timeline where the version of myself there would see someone come and kill his father, who according to this theory may be so radically different that our only similarilty is our name.

Theoritically by that basis, if someone were to come and murder someone you hold dear, even though they look entirely different from you, they could be a version of you from a different string reality.

 

Ok, so if I were to go back in time and stop my first best friend from moving, then the "string" i'm from wouldnt change at all, and he would have still moved away?
Interesting. I wonder if there is someway around it.

 

Has anyone forgotten one of the little quirks in the original post? That is, you developed a method of time traveling that does not use the warp. I mean, if you think about it, you just raped tzeetch in the butt for discovering that. I need to make another thread with a different question then...:grin:

 

Theoritically, the string you influenced and stopped your best friend from moving away, in that reality the version of you from it and your best friend of it would be together.

However it wouldn't effect you at all, as when you return to your string it will still be the same.

 

Farseer would look really bored and say what took you so long,
Inquistor would nick the time machine him(or her)self and come back here to carry on the Emperors inquistions good work on a world that is so full of sin he would have his work cut out for him,
The Ork would clunk you on the back of the head and use the machine to build a new kind of waaarrgghh bike.
The space marine....hmm yeah i'll go with the consensos of killing you unless you happen to have a Dan Abnett or Graham Mcneil or even Gav Thorpe novel then they might get down on thier knees and worship you as a saint and if you wave a copy of white dwarf they just might call you thier new god.
a guardsman might just crap himself and ruin for the hills unless you come face to face with Gaunt then he might get you to take him and the Tanith first and only to Tanith and save the planet.
A chaos sorcerer....heh heh he might just drop to his knees and ask what god you follow then bargain with you for glory of his own....
