Yes, and on his left "Young Vimes" The Assassin is Dr Follett, the then current head of the Guild. Can you spot Vetinari? Or Reg Shoe? You have to remember that "Night Watch" is set 30 years in the past. Vimes had been chasing a mass murderer over the roofs of UU and a sudden "thunderstorm", allegedly part of events around the starting of The Glass Clock in "The Thief of Time" propels the pair, coupled with the thaumatic fields of the Library, to when Vimes had just joined the Watch. Events eventuate... Truth, Justice, Freedom, Reasonably-Priced Love and a Hard-Boiled Egg!

I would think that the time you could influence what happens is limited, on the grounds that your own history depends on when you were here. In turn that depends upon the rather random circumstances that mated two random cells and here you are, a two other cell combination and you wouldn't be,,, well,,, you. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
