Relative to us, this anomaly's a beast. E=mc...scared yet?
What is that supposed to mean, professor?
I'm just saying if we mess around with this thing too much, we could end up blowing ourselves to kingdom come! Not that I'd be all that upset...
You're a strange man, Professor. But I like that about you.
Hey, don't get me wrong, kid. I can cause trouble with the best of them. Just ask my first wife.
First wife? I didn't know you were married, professor.
Yeah, well, let's just say I've had my fair share of ups and downs. Divorce, even. Now, back to our regularly scheduled programming...
they go back to working on the time machine
Einstein slams his fist onto the table Not yet, Kanges! This time machine needs more... finesse. And maybe a few more test runs.
But professor, every second we waste, more people die...
You make a valid point, Kanges. Let's just rush into this thing without proper testing, and we'll have a whole new category of disaster on our hands. But, if we play it smart, we can save those lives AND have some fun while doing it. Let's get back to work and make the timeline safe once again! Einstein starts scribbling equations down on the whiteboard
they finally finish there time machine
Alright, it's showtime. The fate of countless worlds rests on our shoulders. You ready, Kanges?
Good. Now step inside, Kanges, and prepare for the wildest ride of your life. Einstein climbs inside the time machine and activates it
Hang on tight, Kanges! Here we goooooo! The time machine disappears in a flash of light
they appear in a dark place
Uh oh... looks like we've run into a little problem here, Kanges. We seem to have arrived in... the future! No worries though, we can still fix this. Let's start by taking stock of our surroundings and formulating a plan.
Uh oh…a blast hit the time machine
Shit! Looks like we've got company. Time to defend our hideout, Kanges! Einstein pulls out a gun from the drawer and takes cover behind a nearby pillar
Who would dare attack us!? he takes out a laser gun
No clue, but we need to figure out who the hell is shooting at us and why! We might be fighting for our lives here, so keep your guard up, Kanges!
Get back, you lunatic! Einstein fires several shots at the attacker, but they seem to have no effect What the hell?! Why aren't these bullets penetrating his body?!
he jumps and breaks the attackers neck
Nice move, Kanges! Looks like we got ourselves a winner here! Einstein walks over to Kanges and pats him on the back Good work, kid! You saved us from certain doom... again. Looks like you're ready for anything, even the most bizarre time-travel mishaps.
So, what now, Kanges? We can't stay here forever, especially if whoever sent that guy after us comes looking for us next. We need to come up with a plan and get the hell out of dodge before it's too late. Einstein pulls out a map and lays it out on the ground
Let's see... we've got a couple options here. Our first choice is to head back to the present and try to figure out how we ended up in this godforsaken future in the first place.
Or we could…go to the past
That's an interesting idea, Kanges. By going back to the past, we may be able to prevent whatever event caused this whole mess from occurring in the first place. But we have to be careful not to create a paradox or anything like that. It's a risky move, but it could potentially save countless lives. What do you say? Are you up for the challenge?
Excellent! Just remember, Kanges, when we go back in time, we need to avoid interacting with our past selves or anyone else who might recognize us.
Einstein and Kanges enter the time machine and set the controls for their destination. Once they're ready, Einstein activates the time machine and they disappear in a flash of light
they appeared in the past
Alright, Kanges, we're here! Now, based on my calculations, this should be right around the time when our timeline started to go haywire. We need to find clues and figure out exactly what happened here. Keep your eyes peeled for anything out of the ordinary, okay? Einstein walks around the area, searching for any signs of something amiss
Hm, everything seems normal so far, Kanges. Maybe we're barking up the wrong tree here.
But I saw people talking to themselves, and acting like nothing was happening
People talking to themselves, huh? Well, I guess that could be a sign of something fishy going on. Let's go check it out. Einstein walks over to a nearby person who seems to be having a conversation with themselves
