  1. “star trek would be the ideal fictional universe to get trapped in because you’d explain your situation and they’d be like yeah makes sense. no further questions. fortunately we can use the mysterious warp signature emitting from this system’s icy moon to counterface with the solar radiation and slingshot you back home”

  2. “I’m from a universe where your world is all a work of fiction.” Benjamin Sisko, nodding. “That happened to me once.”

  3. “I Got Isekaid Into The Star Trek Universe And They Quickly Understood What Was Happening”

How would we know, either way? Causality's a bitch, and time travel logic always ends up looking pretty convoluted.

Which is why I think that, opting for the simplest likelihood, the past is immutable. Because the present is proof positive that whatever choice I made was already made. My first logical conclusion was to go home. So if it succeeds, then the future happens and the past doesn't change. If it doesn't succeed, then I was already stuck in the future and my friends in the past will have already lost me.

In either case, I have to try.
