My Paradox
I was once sent back in time to my newly assigned starship.
I was sent back to prevent the destruction of it.
Someone had planted a bomb hidden somewhere within it,
that would blow five years after with my crew and me in it.
My job was to go back into time and disable it
and capture and bring to justice the bomb planting culprit.
My mission caused me an injury known as temporal psychosis shock
by creating a series of a most complex paradox.
I first witnessed me enter the starship's galley
and knew from my experience in this moment previously
that I would hold a conference in my quarters immediately.
I took advantage of my absence and hurriedly
attempted to find the saboteur before the bomb was planted successfully.
I followed my instrument designed to trace the bomb's energy
and came upon the bomb and its culprit's locality.
I was however surprised and shocked to see
that the saboteur planting the bomb was yours truly.
I arrested me and returned immediately to the future's time presently,
where I was placed in a cell with many others of me
who had partaken in this temporal paradox series,
which I later came to learn was started by me.
All of the me's are currently now being integrated back to only one me
and sent back to before any of this ever came to be.
then the time stream can return back to normal hopefully.
I turned to me and said to me
as we were about to be integrated permanently.
"I guess I'll see you back from before any of this started"
Me then said to me, "I'm looking forward to it,
or should I say backward?"
I then responded to me most pleadingly,
"Please stop it right there, or you're gonna get me started."
