Time-trapper has reintegrated in his original timeline, and this is the start of the Mandated episode.
Next Episode's title is Low Politics, apparently. Any guesses?
Maul succeeded, and woke up on the day his timeline started, since it got rebooted back into existence. But since he retained his memories, he remembers it happening already.
He just arrived back in his timeline. Here is the start of his section.

I hope the experience isn't too much of a let-down. Imagining something is often far more exciting than actually doing it...
And this is the opening moments of the Episode 'Mandated', bringing him full circle back to where he began.
Easy, Maul. It may have been a long time for you, but...
A very, very long time, I would suspect...
Honesty would be the best policy, methinks. No way would you be able to hide the shifts in personality for long.
And it says so much about her life that she accepts that with hardly a second's hesitation.
Heh, the joy of dropping back into an earlier point than you were taken. Just have to be careful about paradoxes, and his changes make that unnecessary.
It's not quite your bedroom back on Earth-Prime, but I suppose there's no place like home?
"That bad, then?"
Still more than a little scattered. Hopefully all of him made it back in one piece.
I'm sure they'll be understanding. Protocol and ceremony comes first in this culture, after all. It may take a little give and take of Face...
So if he was here before the divergence point engineered by your return, he'll still be here in this timeline.
I suppose the altered history does make the buckethead a big cheese here...
...But rank and the age of his current hosts probably play a part too.
Smoothing over a few arguments before they even happened. So cavalier about causality...
Oh, my. Is that a crack in her professional veneer I see?
And now he's teasing. Be nice, Maul.
Ah, and admitting your own fault. Good way to smooth matters over.
Protocol and ceremony. To not show proper respect would be an insult.
Ah, might that be a hint of a blush in there too?
She is very firm about not being taken seriously, isn't she? Must come from having to work her way up the ranks.
She's a smart one. Clearly if he knows what happens, he knows her feelings.
Heh. And she can surprise him, I see.
Maul, please. You were the one with the ripple-proof memory as Time Trapper...
Ah, taking advantage of his foreknowledge to gain some advantage. Now that is the Jade we know...
) after everything he's done. I don't doubt that he'll have to struggle with some of those things, too. But I doubt we're going to see that anytime soon... Onwards!I'm not moving to a relationship with...
I can't see a double quotation mark.
It is a capital. It's just a smaller size.
Thank you, corrected.
Thank you, corrected.
Too many Lords? (This is from the story only thread. Someone linked to the previous Mandated chapters and I've been reminiscing.)
Nicely dOne!
Sorry, I misread the flow of the paragraph.
Either politics in a low place (Atlantis is the obvious choice, but maybe it's the Netherlands or Australia) or "low politics" as in dirty politics.
You will have to remind me which one that was.
I wonder how this is going to interact with Doctor Sivana's whole ... thing with the evil raider fairies from the future.
I think part of the confusion is that you guys are forgetting there are two Jades being referenced in this conversation: Jade Nguyen, who is sharing Chaul's bed, and Jade Yifei, whom Chaul was being advised to ask on a date "today" by Jade Nguyen.
You mean after using truth magic to verify that he spent centuries and risked everything with a single-minded focus in order to save their empire, their planet, and every single life upon it? I don't know. Maybe they name a month after him. Or gift him England. Or build him a giant naked diamond statue in the middle of the Bialian desert.
