"Somehow, yes," Setsuna said. "There have been some other interventions, by the elder Diggers sister, Gina, but it has had minor impact alone. When you combine this new situation with her interventions in the time stream, then we might just have a chance to avert catastrophe...or else everything will be gone this time."
"Wait," Haruka said. "How can this Gina interfere with the time stream, she's from the present."
"The modern Gina has some minor time travelling equipment that she has used in the past to keep the time stream moving the way it has been," Setsuna said. "There was a matter with a time travelling dog. And more than ten years from now she'll be sent far back into time...beyond the beginning of the universe, in fact."
"If she's interferring then we should eliminate her now," Michiru said. Setsuna whirled on them.
"That you must not do," Setsuna said. "If she does not go back, this entire time-stream will be moot. Much of this world is the doing of Gina Diggers or her ancient associates, including, I suspect the Time Gates. They bear some similarity to the present Gina's time travel equipment, right down to its primary task of targeting disruptions in time field."
"Oh," Haruka said, looking a little uncertain about all this.
"You say we have chance to save everyone," Usagi said.
"Yes, but to avoid a paradox several things must happen," Setsuna said. "Gina must go back to the past, preferably uncertain of her family's survival, or even the galaxy's survival for that matter. Crystal Tokyo must be founded, whether as an oasis of life or just one among many nations. And you must marry Mamoru so that the Black Moon family may be resolved."
"So, we just help them and everything's fine?" Minako asked.
"This is a thin line," Setsuna said. "We slip and everything is gone, including Crystal Tokyo. By now, it may even be too late to return to the original plan."
"If there's any chance...we have to take it," Usagi declared finally. She looked to Haruka and Michiru and added firmly. "We're going to support this marriage."
