[ WP ] The AMA of a Time Traveler

He entered the room with big bag of chips in his hands. In front of him sat 6 people, 3 girls and 3 guys. He opened the bag of chips and grabbed a hand full. `` Welcome to time Time Travel Academy. TTA for short. 
 
 Can anyone tell me the first rule of time travel?'' 
 
 A nerdy looking girl with big glasses raised her hand. The teacher ignored her and instead pointed to the guy next to her who appeared to be half sleep. `` The first rule is know when you are?'' 
 
 The man stuffed the hand full of chips in his mouth and mumbled,'' What's your name?'' 
 
 The guy answered,'' Jacob Mills.'' 
 
 With his mouth half empty he spoke. `` Jacob mills is an idiot. The first rule is never use your real name. You want to use a common first name and a common last name?'' 
 
 Jacob lowered in his chair a little. He did n't really know why he was there, but everything about time fascinated him. It had only been a few months since he submitted his paper to the government. He never believed in time travel, but the idea fascinated him. 
 
 The man continued eating his chips. `` Well, its my job to make sure you idiots do n't destroy time. So if you have any questions, I will answer them now. I have been time traveling for the last 20 years.'' 
 
 The eyes of the girl with glasses lit up like fire. `` Are we in the future, past, or present?'' 
 
 He shook his bag grabbing for crumbs. `` Do you know what future means? For me this is the past, I come from my present and the future is the current present. Most of you do n't know is that there are different versions of time. There is true time that is always moving forward and can not be changed. I am not here to explain all that to you. If you join the school, we will be glad to educate you.'' 
 
 A woman in military uniform looked around at the other students. `` Are we all from the same timeline?'' 
 
 He crumbled the bag up and stuffed it into his pocket. `` You are all from different time lines and one of you is an alien.'' 
 
 Jacob looked puzzled. `` So we finally colonized Mars?'' 
 
 The man walked back to the wall and leaned against it. `` I guess you might not be as dumb as you appear. Earth did colonize Mars first, but the alien is from Venus. Right John?'' 
 
 John wasted no time in answering. `` Venus is my home, but I came to Earth to learn about its culture. On my planet, I am a historian. Why do time travelers exist?'' 
 
 The man yawned a little. He did n't feel like answering questions, but he was on strict punishment from killing 3 time pirates. The only reason he had n't been erased was because he created a time computer that 
 would self-destruct if anything happened to him. He waited a full minute and answered the question. `` This is kind of like the chicken and the egg. Time is not what you think it is. It is n't about what came first and 
 what came last. Time is about space, matter, movement and a lot of stuff you kids do n't understand. Time travelers exist to stabilize time for humans.'' 
 
 `` I get it'', blurted out one girl. Her voice was squeaky. `` Three girls, three guys, three teams. Your school is a military school that defends time. You must be close to retirement. How does a time traveler retire?'' 
 
 The man smiled as he realized he had met a true genius. `` I go replace my time double and live out my life as if I was never a time traveler. You kiddies need to think of some questions that are n't boring. I am going to go the little boys room and when I get back, I expect this AMA to be better.''
