Dialogue[edit]
| After starting the update
|
|
Oh er-uh dear Lord! New Year's is almost here. We'll all be devoured by the Y2K bug.
|
|
Devoured by a bug? That sounds more like Halloween than New Year's.
|
|
No, Dad. Y2K was the thing where the world was going to end when all the computers stopped working because, uh, people on the news said so.
|
|
Really? I thought Y2K was that brand of yogurt that tastes like crap.
|
|
But Mayor Quimby, that was over two decades ago. It turned out that it was really easy for qualified professionals to fix, and nothing bad happened.
|
|
You did hire qualified computer professionals, didn't you?
|
|
Er, define "qualified".
|
|
I'll have you know I was top of my class! It was a dance class, but still.
|
|
We're pretty good with computers now, but at the time we really didn't know what we were doing, so we gave the mayor our internship rate.
|
|
Taxpayers love discounts!
|
|
Anyway, we kept putting it off to play video games...
|
|
So just put it off another year and let's get to the party.
|
|
|
We'd love to, but now it's so badly screwed up that unless it's really fixed by midnight, all the computers in town will go ka-blammo.
|
|
Including the ones at the nuclear power plant. Which will cause an ACTUAL ka-blammo...and an explosion that will destroy the city.
|
|
|
Yes! For once the power plant will explode, and it won't be my fault!
|
If Quimby is owned: Task: "Make Mayor Quimby Try to Explain the Problem". The job takes place at the Town Hall or Simpson House and takes 6 seconds.
Task: "Make Homer Be Confused About the Problem". The job takes place at the Town Hall or Simpson House and takes 6 seconds.
If any University Nerds are owned: Task: "Make Former University Nerds Go Back to School" (x3). The job takes place at Springfield University, University of Heidelberg, or a Brown House and takes 6 seconds.
If Professor Frink is owned: Task: "Make Frink Propose a Radical Solution to the Problem". The job takes place at the Town Hall or Simpson House and takes 6 seconds.
|
|
We need ideas people! How are we going to save the city from what is clearly not my mistake?
|
|
|
Or mine, this time!
|
|
You could finally pay up and hire real computer experts to fix our computers.
|
|
Let's call that Plan B. What would be better is for this whole bad coding thing to have never happened. Or for us to at least pretend it never happened.
|
|
Actually, I've been dabbling in time travel recently, with the tachyons and the boryons and the "Don't kill your mother".
|
|
I could send a smidgeon of code back in time, and it would be like the university nerds never screwed anything up.
|
|
Doesn't that risk screwing up the timeline?
|
|
|
He said a smidgeon, kid. How much trouble could a smidgeon cause?
|
|
|
It's the smallest unit of measurement in mad science.
|
|
Oh, great.
|
Quest reward:  100 and  10
