If you could travel back in time.

[Carrotty Nell]

If I could go back in time to the Autumn of Terror I would hide in the wood shed in the back yard in Hanbury Street and pop out and say "You've missed half the bladder you clod!" That would embarass him.

[Suzi]

Or...

On checking back through the camera pics...think WTF!!!!!! somebody's written CASEBOOK all over that really good one of the knees up in Dutfield's Yard!!!...must be a time slip fault.................

[Suzi]

Or......... having got out of mi time machine and checked my digicam .....decide..........Nah what's the point of posting that really good one of the knees up we had in Dutfield's Yard with those really lovely girlies-nobody'd believe me!

[Suzi]

Amen to that!

Me, I'd just want to wander and see all there possibly is to see...like some G & S!!

But I guess I'd most like to sit down for a chat with Mary Kelly.

Blimey can you imagine what that'd be like!! I guess if you turned up at No.13 (Like No 21 here!!) bearing a bottle of the good stuff you'd be welcomed with open arms- and if you enough spare coin for a trip to the offie when that ran out you'd be asked to move in!!!! (P'raps that's what Joe did!!)

Thought of another one: I've gone back in time and I'm invisible- go knock on Michael Kidney's door, then punch him in the face!

[kensei]

How about checking in on some of the more prominent suspects at the time of each murder to see if they were actually home snug in their beds, so if we can't find out who Jack was we could at least rule some people out. Also, wait around on Goulston Street for Jack to drop the apron and see if the writing really was there before him or if he wrote it himself.

And on a more emotional note, somehow urge John Kelly and Joe Barnett to give Kate and Mary Jane one more extra-long hug before parting company those last times.

[Divakind]

I think I would go find Mary Kelly, and make her sit herself down in front of a photographer.

Same for Fred Abberline!

Amen to that!

Me, I'd just want to wander and see all there possibly is to see...like some G & S!!

I'll find Jack and give him the book The Epiphany of the Whitechapel Murders
and Radka's Alternate Ripperology.

[YankeeSergeant]

BAck to 1888

I'd go back to trace Martha Tabram's last night on earth and find out if Jack really did for her. I'd want to see if I could pick up Jack's trail through the rest of the murders too. If I was able to affect the outcome I might turn him into Scotland yard but then, that would screw all of us out of this wonderful pasttime wouldn't it. So after MArtha I would nip in to ten Bells have a couple of pints and then hit the stalls for some bargain basement militaria which I would bring back as overpriced mint antiques.

[String]

Might be no use just watching the killer. If he's an unknown he still will be the same goes for a camera. You would have to follow him and find out his identity that way if possible.
I think a wee visit to the Hitler and Stalin families would be more productive.

[DarkPassenger]

I'd go back, watch the victims be killed so I knew who the killer was, come back to now, tell you guys and then get ridiculed for my "stupid" suggestion, because you guys have reliable information from a psychic and a graphologist suggesting it was a Royal Masonic Satanist killing the witnesses to the Duke of Clarence and the Priory of Sion discussing how Mary Magdelene was the wife of Christ and the mother of Elvis

[Robert]

Scotland Yard, if your machine is causality-free.....how could you cause it to work?

[Mike Covell]

I would open a "Mike-Donalds" on every street corner, and maybe a "Mike-Bucks" and a "Hard-Mike-Cafe"

Once the beverage side of things is running ok, I would invent a steam driven computer, and open a business called "Mike-rosoft"

I would take a few unfortunates off the streets and give them luxeries, rename them, "Britney", "Madonna", and "X-Tina" and take them on tour of the music halls. Perhaps launch the career of "Elvis Issenchmid Presley" and "Michael Issaacs Jackson" too!!

Then I would rest, maybe invite Robert D'Onston Stephenson, Montague John Druitt and Francis Tumblety around for a game of "Operation" O'Most Sapient Conclusion!!

[Scotland Yard]

To hell with the grandfather paradox...what's the point of a scifi fantasy if yuo get caught up in endless highly tedious causality problems? I would simply travel back in time in my special causality-free time travel inducer, then post Abberline a copy of Philip Sugden's 'Complete Jack The Ripper' days before the first murder and return to the present day to see what he made of it.

[Bailey]

The problem with doing anything to stop Jack (or Hitler) is the ol' time travel paradox that if you did, then when you got back to here, they'd have never happened and so you wouldn't know you wanted to go back and stop them and so then they would happen, and... and... and... bollocks. Just send me back with my camera.
