Fortunately, a cross-time cellular network reduces the precision of chrono-GPS signals to the point where the original problem (landing EXACTLY at the same space-time coordinates) no longer occurs.CCC wrote:A very good story. I liked how the event happened in this tale; I've seen similar stories before (one of the more ambitious ones involved time machines that needed to drag a star along with them for power, all going back at once to see why there was such a concentration of stars at a certain place and time...) but this was very well handled and neatly done. I especially liked the second timeship - by then timetravel is routine enough that it's used for school outings. (But how do they prevent themselves from running into all the other school outings to the same event?)

You can't wait for inspiration. You have to go after it with a club.

And why weren't both ships annihilated?
Nice application of the old time-travel paradox trick.
