Synopsis for "The Conclusion of Timesick"
On the run with Alexander Nicolaides in 1943, Caitlin recalls how she met him in an elevator decades in the future and ended up traveling back in time. After speaking to a woman who knew him, she returned to the library and rode the elevator again. Once she exited, she found herself in 1943. After wandering the city for a few hours, she returned to campus and attended a lecture in which Nicolaides explained his theory of time travel. She approached him afterward, pulling him away from two government agents. He recognized her and could return her home, but he needed to get away from the agents. The two fled through the city with the agents in pursuit. In the present, Gen 13 goes to the university library to find Caitlin. Back in 1943, the agents catch up with her and Nicolaides. He explains that she was exposed to the waves from his time travel device and that is how she came back in time. As the agents move to apprehend him, he uses the device and vanishes. Caitlin sees he went to 336 BC and then uses it herself to return to the present. She meets Gen 13 in the library. Later, after explaining what happened, she tosses Nicolaides's device into the ocean to prevent its abuse.
