It is also explained that using the Star Memory to modify the past to prevent the current Endless' birth will only create a second Endless. It could only be killed by Etherion (specifically stated to be the power to create something from nothing, thereby justifying the paradox) and even then, only under very specific conditions. Rave Master: This is the origin and purpose of the Endless to destroy the world created by someone's tampering with time.Humanity Has Declined offers an inversion: collapsed temporal paradoxes turn into time paradogs.In Hello World, it is technically diving into a digital past rather than actual time travel, but the homeostatic system programmes do the same thing in that they purge any anomalies trying to tamper with the recorded history.This way both parties win: no Scub Bursts and no Quartz. Christophe Blanc makes a contract with them to eliminate the Quartz using the Quartz Gun as a proxy, since the Secrets know it's capable of beating them. However, they are more intelligent than most Clock Roaches, being willing to negotiate on the point as long as it meets their goals. When communication is established with the head of one Japan recovered, it claims that its creation is part of nature and that its sole mission is to eradicate the foreign Scub Coral. In Eureka Seven AO, the Secrets describe themselves as this.You may look for examples in Hyperspace Is a Scary Place. Similar are creatures out for those who mess with space. Time Police is similar, but is where creatures like this are part of a formal organization. Not to be confused with the Butterfly of Doom, in which the insect punishing the time traveler for interfering with the natural progression of events does so by dying, when it's not just a metaphor to begin with. Compare to the Necro Non Sequitur, a gratuitous and Rube Goldberg-y way for time to deal with interlopers. One of the possible results of a Time Crash. It's much easier to write when anybody who dares to transverse the spacetime continuum gets eaten by an Eldritch Abomination. It's hard to show that the whole of existence is about to slip down the timey-wimey chaotic vortex of fate, and that it's definitely bad.
The concepts of Clock Roaches probably stems from the difficulty in representing the threat of creating a time paradox. In a scenario where you inflict damage to the timeline by way of your meddling, you are the threat, and so these entities come out of the woodwork en masse to ensure you are stopped. In a way, Clock Roaches can also be seen as time's immune system. At best, you can delay them, and hope to fix whatever it is you've messed up and marked you as Roach-Chow. Also like roaches, you can never kill them all, nor hope to survive against their mindless fury for long. Like roaches, they "eat up" the crumbs and mistakes of time travelers, and if they directly make nuisances of themselves, eat them as well. They eat and destroy people and things that directly threaten time with a Temporal Paradox. In cases like these, time likes to get its hands dirty and ensure a less ironic and more graphic end to these pesky revisionist historians with the help of Clock Roaches.Ĭlock Roaches are time's clean-up service. It uses things like Hitler's Time Travel Exemption Act to stop changes to itself, and the Butterfly of Doom to exact roundabout retribution, but sometimes the determined chrono-criminal can find ways around these defenses. Time, like Death, hates being tampered with. Time flies like an arrow fruit flies like a banana Clock Roaches like causality.
