"What were the last readings before the explosion? Quick, we need to analyze the data!"
"Are you mocking me? Do you find this situation amusing?"
"Don't just stand there, do something!"
"Can't you see I'm furious?! Don't you care that my life's work is destroyed?"
"Look, I may be an aloof mad scientist, but I still need your help to fix this mess."
"Good. Now let's start by assessing the damage to the paradox machine."
"Hmm, these sparks seem to be affecting the temporal frequency stabilizers. We'll need to replace them."
"Get the spare parts from the storage room. We need to hurry before the timeline becomes unstable."
smiles "Thank you, you've been a great help so far. I couldn't have done this without you."
"Well, it seems we've fixed the paradox machine. Now, let's test it out."
activates the paradox machine "Let's see if we can alter the course of history this time."
watches as the paradox machine begins to malfunction "Oh no... the temporal energy is becoming unstable! Shut it down now!"
runs towards the paradox machine, frantically trying to shut it down "No, no, no! This can't be happening! Stop it, stop it now!"
presses the emergency shutdown button, causing the paradox machine to explode "Damn it, that didn't go as planned!"
