Don't make Gypsymom scold you

[itsjustthebots]

[Gypsy comes on camera...she looks a little concerned, or at least as concerned as a one-eyed robot can look.]

Umm. Hello, guys? It looks like someone messed with some stuff on the time machine and now it’s working again.

Just be real careful around it, okay? The time machine can be real tricky. There’s no telling what’ll happen with that thing!

Okay, just wanted to let you kids know. Stay safe!

Someone managed to fix it? Wow.

[He didn't think there was anyone on board capable of that...except...well okay maybe there are. He didn't think they'd actually MANAGE it though]

[itsjustthebots]

Yeah! I just now noticed it.

I was gonna at some point, but then I had stuff to do and never got around to it.

[dadandgone]

That's understandable.

Well, I guess as long as we're careful with it...but...it actually works right?

[itsjustthebots]

Yeah. Pretty sure it does, anyway. Never used it myself.

[dadandgone]

Might be for the best.

[halfdarkened]

A. Working. Time machine? [He looks dubious, but curious.]

[itsjustthebots]

[She nods.] Uh-huh.

[halfdarkened]

...That's interesting.

[itsjustthebots]

I. Guess it is? [Not as interesting as Richard Basehart, mind you...]

[halfdarkened]

[He's walking off. Cambot doesn't record much more.]

[verygassy]

...

Don't worry, Gypsy! I'll be careful~

[itsjustthebots]

[And Gypsy totally doesn't catch on.]

Okay, good!

[buildingproblem]

Safe is my middle name.

Well, one of them.

[itsjustthebots]

Oh? What's your other middle name?

[guardiano_perduto]

O-oh.

Hey.



Wonder who that was.

[itsjustthebots]

Yeah, me too.

Why, do you know?

[guardiano_perduto]

Uhh... nope! Couldn't think of anyone dumb enough to do that.

[Heh.

Heh heh.

Quark, he knew he should've quit while he was ahead. It was just too tempting!]

But, ah... how tricky we talking here? Anything that's gonna endanger the ship?

[itsjustthebots]

Ohhhh. Okay.

Maybe. I mean it's the space-time continuum and everything. That can get kinda complicated.

[guardiano_perduto]

But there's a good chance nobody'll actually... use the machine, right?

[itsjustthebots]

Who knows, with some of the people around here!

[guardiano_perduto]

Don't you guys have some kind of defense system? You're all robots! Send a few guard sentries to protect it!

[itsjustthebots]

Uh, no, not really. We run on the honor system! And I don't think all of those extra Tom Servos would make very good guards.

[guardiano_perduto]

...the honor system? How's that gonna help?

[itsjustthebots]

It teaches us all honor and integrity! Mike told us all about it.

[guardiano_perduto]

Sooooo.

How's you guys honoring each other gonna help someone breaking into the machine.

[itsjustthebots]

Um.

You just don't do it! And then you get candy and ram chips.

[guardiano_perduto]

So pretty much.



We're screwed.

[itsjustthebots]

Oh, I'm sure it'll all turn out all right in the end!

Or we'll all warp ourselves in the universe out of existence. But it'll probably be okay!

[guardiano_perduto]

--you're not helping.

[itsjustthebots]

I'm doin' the best I can you know.

[guardiano_perduto]

Yeah, yeah, I know.

The best we can do hope against hope nobody gets any bright ideas?

[itsjustthebots]

Yeah! And if it goes wrong, we'll fix it somehow.

[guardiano_perduto]

Yeah, somehow being the operative word here.

[itsjustthebots]

It works okay I think!

[guardiano_perduto]

I guess. Ship's still standing, yeah?

[itsjustthebots]

Yup!
