Dialogue[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
|
|
| 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.

|
While these Alternate Homers are visiting your Springfield, keep sending them to Plunder the Future!
|

|
|
| 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.
|

|
|
| 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
|
|
| 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
|
|
| 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
|
|
| 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
|
|
| 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
|
|
| 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
|
|
| 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!
|
