"And look how much we've learned from the experiences of those other time lines. During the Crisis, after the Fourth Interplanetary War, we might have adopted Palnar Sarn's 'Dictatorship of the Chosen' scheme, if we hadn't seen what an exactly similar scheme had done to the Jak Hakka Civilization, on the Second Level. When Palnar Sarn was told about that, he went into paratime to see for himself, and when he returned, he renounced his proposal in horror." Tortha Karf nodded. AND LOOK HOW MUCH WE'VE LEARNED FROM THE EXPERIENCES OF THOSE OTHER TIME LINES DURING THE CRISIS AFTER THE FIRST INTERPLANETARY WAR WE MIGHT HAVE ADOPTED PALL NARSAN'S DICTATORSHIP OF THE CHOSEN SCHEME IF WE HADN'T SEEN WHAT AN EXACTLY SIMILAR SCHEME HAD DONE TO THE JACKALKA CIVILIZATION ON THE SECOND LEVEL WHEN PAUL NARSAN WAS TOLD ABOUT THAT HE WENT INTO MARITIME TO SEE FOR HIMSELF AND WHEN HE RETURNED HE RENOUNCED HIS PROPOSAL IN HORROR DOROTHA KARVED NODDED
hor trans-temporal field was discovered, our ancestors had pretty well exhausted the resources of this planet. We had a world population of half a billion, and it was all they could do to keep alive. After we began paratime transposition, our population climbed to ten billion, and there it stayed for the last eight thousand years. Just enough of us to enjoy our planet and the other planets of the system to the fullest; enough of everything for everybody that nobody needs fight anybody for anything. We've tapped the resources of those other worlds on other time-lines, a little here, a little there, and not enough to really hurt anybody. We've left our mark in a few places--the Dakota Badlands, and the Gobi, on the Fourth Level, for instance--but we've done no great damage to any of them." "Except the time they blew up half the Southern Island Continent, over about five hundred parayears on the Third Level," Tortha Karf mentioned. "Regrettable accident, to be sure," Verkan Vall conceded. THOUSAND YEARS WHEN THE GAHADRON HESTRAOR TRANSTEMPORAL FIELD WAS DISCOVERED OUR ANCESTORS HAD A PRETTY WELL EXHAUSTED THE RESOURCES OF THIS PLANET WE HAD A ORDERED POPULATION OF HALF A BILLION AND IT WAS ALL THEY COULD DO TO KEEP ALIVE AFTER WE BEGAN PARATIME TRANSPOSITION OUR POPULATION CLIMBED A TEN MILLION AND THERE IT STAYED FOR THE LAST EIGHT THOUSAND YEARS JUST ENOUGH TO JOY OUR PLANET AND THE OTHER PLANETS OF THE SYSTEM TO THE FULLEST ENOUGH OF EVERYTHING FOR EVERYBODY THAT NOBODY NEEDS FIGHT ANYBODY FOR ANYTHING WE'VE TAPPED THE RESOURCES OF THOSE OTHER WORLDS IN OTHER TIME LINES A LITTLE HERE A LITTLE THERE NOT ENOUGH TO REALLY HURT NOBODY WE'VE LEFT OUR MARK IN A FEW PLACES THE DAKOTA BAD LANDS AND THE GOBI ON THE FOURTH LEVEL FOR INSTANCE BUT WE'VE DONE NO GREAT DAMAGE TO ANY OF THEM EXCEPT THE TIME THEY BLEW UP HALF THE SOUTHERN ISLAND CONTINENT OVER ABOUT FIVE HUNDRED PERIEHERS ON THE THIRD LEVEL TOWARD THE CARF MENTIONED REGARDABLE ACCIDENT TO BE SURE VERKANWALL CONCEDED
