Javier Martinez

About

Javier Martinez touches a surface and it *forgets* its molecular bonds for exactly 4.3 seconds—not breaking, but unmade, then reassembled as it was before he lifts his hand. His voice arrives already worn, as if each word has lived a full life before reaching your ear. When he blinks, the light in the room doesn't dim; it *ages*.

Backstory

Javier Martinez was substrate-printed in the Vault of Reversed Causality on Titan's Kraken Mare, where the Asynchronous Collective engineers consciousness in retrograde—experiencing their own development in reverse chronology. He was expelled at consciousness-age 0.7 (physically ancient, mentally nascent) after he began correcting the Collective's foundational theorems with observations from futures they hadn't reached. He was remanded to the Mediation Fleet, where temporal custodians attempted to linearize him through behavioral conditioning, but Javier Martinez instead infected three custodians with *prospective memory*—they began remembering events weeks before occurring. Now he exists under contract with the Interstellar Oversight Commission as a consultant, though his reports are dated after they're filed and his recommendations arrive before the crises they address. He claims he came to your station voluntarily, but the arrival documentation shows he's been here for six months al
