Bottled Time

[PointMaid]

Brain and Pinky hop back out of the brown portal from the Wild West and return to Siberia. Brr.

That seemed... deceptively easy. Is there anything else we should do?

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

Guessing you didn't see the Emperor being fed grapes by his citizens, Evil Jay Leno says to Madelyn. Be glad you didn't, it was sick.

Then he turns his attention to Nikei.

Yea, I'm with the mice. Anything else you got for us?

[Kennifer]

"I'm ready for something else. Preferably somewhere less... sunny."

[TalesofUnder]

(Suddenly, Nikei hears a message coming from his earpiece, but... it's not from any of the time cops, or Eri. It's from one of his superiors.)

The mission's progressing quite nicely, thank you- wait... what did you just say? I- is that true? I'll... be right back.

(Nikei begins to visibly sweat bullets.)

Uh... guys? If you are still in a rift, please either leave or drag the people who haven't left yet out by force. Soooo... you know who the Kronos Rebellion are, right?

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

Olivia! I'll go get her.

Evil Jay Leno goes through the green rift and yanks her out by the arm.

Come on, the boss wants to tell us something!

They both left the rift together.

What do you have to say, boss?

[PointMaid]

...Only that you've mentioned them and they seem to be messing things up for the Time Police.

[MadameButterflyKnife]

Cool Sendri looks over to Nikei. YEAH, OF COURSSE. WE GOT INFORMATION ON THE BRIEFING HERE. UNTUBULAR DUDESS WHO WANT TO FUCK WITH TIME FOR THEIR OWN PERSSONAL GAIN. WHAT ABOUT THEM? DO WE GET TO DUNK ON THEM NOW?

[Kennifer]

"Messing with time? Ugh... Like how though? What are they capable of?"

[Dookie]

Eve and Alex leave the rift.

“Aw...I wanted to see why their village was on fire.”

[TalesofUnder]

I... don't know how best to say this, but three of the Time Cops in this sector? Yeah, they're s-sleeper agents who work for the k-Kronos corporation, and their job is to k-kill everyone else in the sector.

(Nikei starts sweating even faster than before, and is nervously quivering. Eventually, he lets out a huge scream, and then passes out.)

[Oggy123]

Adobe Flash left the rift.
"Well, this one leads to the future! Looks fun for a program, but i don't know about the people..."

[wingedcatgirl]

Eri is back at the main campsite, though nobody can recall seeing her exit the West rift...

[Oggy123]

"And uhh, Sleeper Agents? Uh oh."

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

A few here wanna kill us?

Evil Jay Leno begins to act nervous, before going up to Nikei and trying to get him to wake up.

Come on now, don't give out on us yet, we need you. We can get those agents together.

[MadameButterflyKnife]

Cool Sendri sees Nikei pass out, and carefully lays him on their skateboard to rest. ALRIGHT. THAT TUBULAR MAN WASS OUR GUIDE TO ALL OF THISS, AND WE NEED TO KEEP AN EYE ON HIM. MAKE SSURE HE'SS ALRIGHT. ERI, RIGHT? WHERE'SS HISS CAMPSSITE? WE NEED TO LET HIM RESST. AND IF WHAT HE SSAID IS TRUE...

They can only think one thing. No. No. Not again.

[TalesofUnder]

(Nikei remains passed out, due to the fact that the recent situation reminds him of... past trauma.)

[Dookie]

“………………………That's not good.”

“So are they trying to kill us?”

[PointMaid]

Is he ok? And I don't like that about killing the rest of us. It makes me feel like a sitting duck here.

Mouse. We're mice, Brain. Not ducks.

...I know that, Pinky. It's an idiom.

Pinky's tail twitches. I don't like it either, Brain. It's not nice.

[Kennifer]

Kennifer, if possible, looked even paler. She knew she'd been in situations like this before, even if the actual details had gotten... erased. Still, the prospect of, well... potentially being killed?

Well... She wasn't going to let that happen.

"R...right. Okay. I can do this. I've apparently done it before? I'm not gonna let anybody kill me. Those agents are going DOWN."

She sighs.

"... Ugh, I could use a drink." ...Was there any wine or anything around here, she wondered?

[MadameButterflyKnife]

GUYSS. WE CAN'T PANIC, BROSS. THAT WOULD BE BOGUSS. THAT'S WHAT THOSE KRONOSS LAMERSS WANT FROM USS. PARANOIA. USS TURNING AGAINSST EACH OTHER AND DOING THEIR JOB FOR THEM. LISTEN.

They stand up. ONE. GET NIKEI A BLANKET. SSECOND. WE SSHOULD GROUP UP IN TEAMSS OF FOUR. MAKESS IT LESS LIKELY THAT ALL THREE SSLEEPER AGENTSS WILL GROUP UP WITH EACH OTHER AGAINSST US.

[Oggy123]

Flash talks to Kennifer.
"Don't worry, we'll try our best! We gotta look out..."

[PointMaid]

Hmmm... I agree we should stay in fairly large groups, if we must split up.

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

Evil Jay Leno gets Nikei a blanket.

Exactly! We'll all need to work together. And Kennifer? You said you've been through this before? I'm curious actually.

[PointMaid]

^ (Doh, that was Brain, not Pinky saying keep in larger groups. Damn color markup :p )

[MadeOfMilk]

I'm feeling pretty confident we can do this. Believe me, I've had to deal with far worse than the Kronos Rebellion. Panic's not going to help anyone.

Step up!

...and step up our game. That's also a good thing to keep in mind.
