Continuum

[Karlotta]

The captain had long given up on trying to understand the antics of the Athena’s chief science officer and de facto commander, but sometimes curiosity had the better of him. “Did you also see yourself spill the tea?”

“Mmhmm.” Anton confirmed, still writing on his notepad, sucking on the pipe that rarely left his mouth.

“Then why didn’t you pay attention so it wouldn’t happen again?”

Anton looked up at the captain in astonishment. “Because that would have been paradoxical, of course. The consequences of changing the observed future could cause a rupture in the space time continuum, destroy the entire universe, or eliminate the offender from it.” They shared another moment of silence. “Or nothing at all happens. But I’m not taking any risks.”

The captain thought he had finally found an explanation for the strange compulsive disorders he observed in Dr Rubin regularly.
