Dialogue[edit]

Pt. 1[edit]

After tapping on Stephen Hawking's exclamation mark
	There's something strange about this wormhole from another dimension.
	How so?
	Robots are emerging at a rate of ten thousand kilotonnes per hour. But the mass of the remote universes is only decreasing at a rate of one microgram per century!
	This is America, sir! I'll kindly remind you not to use the metric system unless you want your face punched off.
	Let's examine the robot guts more closely. Hey Sky Finger! Play with your funbots!
Task: "Tap a Robot".
	What are those things popping out between the microprocessor and the steam valve?
	They're chronons! The quantum of time!
	Of course, that explains everything! I'm assuming.
	Don't you see? The robots aren't coming from another space. They're coming from another time!
	Crafty!
Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 2[edit]

After tapping on Stephen Hawking's exclamation mark
	Based on the polarization and general demeanor of the chronons, I deduce that these robots are invading from the future.
	Aha! Then we've just got to wait until the robots are built, then stop them before they come!
	Exactly. But that might not be for hours, or even centuries.
	B'hoy! Let's use donuts to speed up time!
	In what universe does that make even the slightest bit of sense?
If Bart is owned: Task: "Make Bart Slingshot Chronons Into the Black Hole". The job takes place at the PolyVac and takes 4 hours. Task: "Make Lisa Wait for the Robots to be Built". The job takes place at the PolyVac and takes 4 hours. Task: "Make Alternate Homers Plunder the Multiverse" (x5). The jobs take place at the PolyVac and take 4 hours.
Message	While these Alternate Homers are visiting your Springfield, keep sending them to Plunder the Future!
Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 3[edit]

After tapping on Stephen Hawking's exclamation mark
	Bart? Have you been shooting chronons at the black hole?
	Probably. I shoot a lot of stuff at a lot of things.
	This is incredible! You've opened up a gateway to the future. We need to send a scouting party through, to ascertain what fate awaits us.
	Professor Frink, you're not helping much around here. Lead this ragtag band of Homers on a journey of scientific exploration.
	With a side order of plundering!
Task: "Make Stephen Hawking Chair-Butt Frink Into the Future". The job takes place at the PolyVac and takes 8 hours. If Professor Frink is owned: Task: "Make Frink Get Chair-Butted Into the Future". The job takes place at the PolyVac and takes 8 hours. Task: "Make Alternate Homers Plunder The Future" (x5). The jobs take place at the PolyVac and take 4 hours.
	And... we're back.
	Did you locate the future source of the robot army?
	No, we totally forgot about that. But we sure plundered everything that wasn't nailed down!
	They nail things down in the future because stuff tends to hover.
	Wait, where's Professor Frink? He didn't come back!
	He must have become stuck somewhere in the distant future. Act 3, most likely.
Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 4[edit]

After tapping on Stephen Hawking's exclamation mark
	I hate to nag, but I'm still being stabbed by robots from the future. Ow! Does anyone have a tourniquet?
	Hmm. Maybe we can turn this time tunnel to our advantage.
	I'll use the parts from the smashed evil robots to build GOOD robots. Then I'll send them into the future to stop the evil robots before they travel to the past!
	Hooray! We will have been saved!
	I'll just bolt these robot scraps together, like so, then program in the three laws of robotics.
	Heavens to heckaroonie, that won't work! If you want goodness, the program you need is "GOTO 10."
	The Ten Commandments, that is!
Task: "Make Ned Teach the Old Testament to New Robots". The job takes place at the PolyVac and takes 8 hours.
Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 5[edit]

After tapping on Stephen Hawking's exclamation mark
	There, I've got all three laws of robotics programmed in.
	Hold your horsies! I'm still sermonizing about the Ten Commandments, plus I threw in a couple extras about not coveting thy neighbor's premium items.
	What is wrong with you people? You're prattling on while I'm trying to save your lives and your universe!
	...and thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's Barney's Bowlarama, and... done. Okily dokily, now you can save us.
	The illogic of the human race never ceases to enrage me. Now gather up some chronons to propel these robots to the future!
Task: "Gather Chronons by Tapping Robots" (x5).
Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 6[edit]

After tapping on Stephen Hawking's exclamation mark
	The good robots are fully functional and ready to enter the time hole.
	Hold on there, citizen. The evil robot militia is heavily armed with top quality pikes and daggers. And one's packing a trident.
	Ow! Ow! Ow!
	Yeah, that guy. If we want our good, patriotic robots to stand a fighting chance, we've got to arm them with exactly identical weaponry.
Task: "Make Stephen Hawking Arm the Good Robots with Weapons". The job takes place at the Police Station and takes 8 hours.
Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 7[edit]

After tapping on Stephen Hawking's exclamation mark
	If nobody has any further objections, I'll be saving the universe now.
	Hurry, hurry! After one final prayer.
	Oh mighty Sky Finger, cradle these robot souls in the loving bosom of your fingertip.
	Now?
	Amen.
	Now?
	Hurry up!
	Robots! Into the time breach!
Task: "Make Stephen Hawking Send Good Robots to the Future". The job takes place at the PolyVac and takes 8 hours. Task: "Make Evil Homer Scheme". The job takes place at the PolyVac and takes 4 hours.
	It didn't work! In fact, there are even more evil robots now! And they're equally well armed! Ow ow ow!
	Was that the trident?
	No, just three ordinary javelins.
Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 8[edit]

After tapping on Lisa's exclamation mark
	Why didn't your plan work, Professor?
	It appears there was a polarity error in my computation of the chronon spin matrix.
	Blarrrgh?
	My army of good robots didn't go to the future... they went to the past!
	Uh, hello? That makes no sense. If they went to the past, we would have seen them come out.
	We did see them come out! The robots we just sent into the time hole WERE the robots that attacked us in the past!
	But the robots we built were good, God-fearing robots! What would make them turn evil?
	There's only one logical answer. Somebody must have sabotaged their programming. But who?
Task: "Make Evil Homer's Eyes Dart Side-to-Side Suspciously". The job takes place at the PolyVac and takes 4 hours.
Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 9[edit]

After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark
	Oh my God, I know who did it! It had to be Evil Homer! He's been scheming and scheming!
	Plus his eyes were darting suspiciously, and he's got the word "EVIL" right there in his name!
	What, I? How preposterous. Admittedly, I've been scheming... but about something completely unrelated, and yet to be revealed.
	Then who did it?
	Hang on... there was someone else trying to control the robots with ten, count them, TEN commandments!
	It was Ned Flanders! He must have converted the robots into religious zealots, programmed to punish the sins of humanity!
	Gosh, I guess it WAS me. Well, forgive and forget, right? I believe that's in the Bible. Right after "an eye for an eye."
Task: "Make Ned Hide From an Angry Mob". The job takes place at the PolyVac and takes 8 hours.
Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 10[edit]

After tapping on Stephen Hawking's exclamation mark
	Kill Ned! He used love and prayer to turn the robots into murder machines!
	I still say it was Evil Homer!
	Kill someone! Anyone!
	Stop it! It wasn't Ned, and it wasn't Evil Homer.
	It was... me!
	gasp Why, Professor? Why did you send evil robots to attack us in the past?
	Why not?
	Checkmate.
	You people drove me insane! Everything you do and say is totally anti-science. My sympathy lies with the reasonable, rational killbots.
	And we like Professor Hawking, because he doesn't have a weird human accent.
	You won't get away with this, Hawking! Save us, mighty Sky Finger! Smash the robots!
	Go ahead! I'll just use the pieces to make even more robots! That's why they'll never stop coming!
	Curses. Unlike most time travel stories, this one has no logical flaws whatsoever. We are defeated.
	I'm not giving up that easily. Fight, everyone! Fight for my very life!
Task: "Make Homer Relax in the Brown House". The job takes place at a Brown House and takes 2 hours. Task: "Make Alternate Homers Fight the Infinite Robot Army" (x4). The jobs take place at the PolyVac and take 8 hours. Task: "Make Evil Homer Scheme". The job takes place at the PolyVac and takes 4 hours. Task: "Make Stephen Hawking Rocket Around Town". The job takes 8 hours.
Message	The story will continue in the future, also known as Act Three.
Quest reward: 100 and 10
