The HEB[]

The time windows look rather similar to -- if less ragged than -- the aperture that the hideous extradimensional being in Mechanicsburg is reaching through.

The Dragon from Mars[]

It's worth mentioning that the "portal from Mars" in Theo's story The Heterodyne Boys and the Dragon from Mars is drawn in the same style as the time windows.

Blue Tint[]

If the temporal physics behind the time windows have any affect on light, then it's possible that a doppler shift accounts for the blue color of the window and the figures inside.

Responses[]

  • It could have been an artistic choice, done to set the portal apart from the surrounding reds.
  • It just looked nifty.
  • What color/style is used on time windows may have no relevance. But, when the chosen color/style is repeated, it's highly probably that similar events are being depicted. This logic is the most direct connection between Enigma's Works card, the time windows the Bangladesh DuPree reported , and the apparition Agatha saw in Volume I.

Mirrors[]

The time windows may actually be tweaked Queen's Mirrors. Especially here it seems that Lucrezia is experimenting with an existing piece of machinery on the suggestion of someone else. And if the mirrors can already establish a spatial connection in three dimensions, why not also the fourth? A counterargument might be that the windows appear in thin air, while the mirrors only connect to other mirrors.

Agatha Time Loop[]

Agatha, not Lu/Enigma, opens the initial time window in order to show Enigma to her earlier self, setting the whole story in motion.

Demonstration[]

Enigma was showing Agatha how to operate the time machine, and she was pressed into it, thus rather irate look and remark. Later Agatha tests the machine herself, zooming on von Zinzers' boat as a relatively known point of little consequence (to her).
