Someone else on the interwebs said they were surprised to realise Elizabeth was only seventeen at the time of the Metapsychic Rebellion.

Yes, imagine you're a teenage girl on a outer rim planet that caters only to winter tourists. You hear murmurs and rumours about war on the horizon, but there's nothing you can do. You're just a teenage girl. Then there's outright war, which leaves those majorly involved on both sides dead.

You probably have nightmares for a while after, but society and you pick up the pieces again.

Then decades later, you travel as a grieving widow through the time gate on Earth back to the deep past. After various dramas, people start looking to you for help. You can barely help yourself, who thought this was a good idea? Oh, and by the way, the bad guys from that long ago war didn't die after all. They fled to the deep past as well.

It looks like you'll be expected to help out with this situation as well. What do you do?

You had thought that those bad guys were long dead.

You were only seventeen at the time of the Metapsychic Rebellion.
