Hi everyone! Just got inside before the storm hit - it's CRAZY out there! The hover-bus almost got knocked sideways by the wind! Is anyone else stuck at the lab? Mom said not to try coming home until the storm dies down.
Also, I finished recalibrating the thermal regulators for the new time machine like Shirley showed me. They work better than before! Yay science!!!

Ask me to fix your tech!

McKenzie, that's amazing work on the thermal regulators! You're picking up the technical side even faster than I did. Don't worry about the storm. We've got plenty of emergency supplies and Ingo hasn't eaten all the snacks (yet).
Has anyone checked on Dr. Cyber today? I dropped off some soup yesterday but he was asleep. This cold has really knocked him out.
BTW, we have extra play rehearsal tomorrow IF school isn't canceled. Ms. Knudsen says we need to work on the "Power Rings" musical number. Maniac keeps improvising his lines and it's throwing everyone off.

ugh. extra rehearsal just means more time standing around in my stupid swatbot costume waiting to get fake-smashed. not like anyone would notice if i wasn't there anyway.
mac - cool job with the regulators i guess. you need to check with one of us before you fix stuff tho. The hat compartment was leaking reala particles on Monday.
storm looks bad. probably no school tomorrow. not that i care

What's up, Cruisers! Storm's perfect timing - Dad just got me the new Virtuaboy headset and I need time to break it in! Anyone want to come over after this blows over? Got the whole mansion to myself this weekend since the parents are in Tokyo for some boring business thing.
TimTak - Chin up, dude! Your Swatbot #3 is crucial to the plot! Without you, who would I heroically smash in the second act?
Shirley - You're CRUSHING it as Princess Sally! That crown looks amazing on you. Need help practicing our duet? I could swing by your place tomorrow if school's canceled...

thanks maniac, but I've already memorized my parts. maybe we should use any free time to work on the lab instead? The temporal stabilizer for the new machine still needs a lot of work.
timmy - you ok? You've seemed really down lately. and don't say "whatever" - your swatbot choreography is actually really good! ms. knudsen mentioned it specifically yesterday.
mckenzie - If you're stuck at the lab, there's hot chocolate mix in the blue cabinet. The REAL kind from the village store, not swiss miss.

Found the hot chocolate!
Tim, I'll double-check the hat compartment right now! Thanks for catching that - I'm still learning all the safety protocols.
Maniac, your gaming headset sounds cool, but Mom would NEVER let me come over without grown-ups there. Maybe you could bring it to the lab sometime?
Has anyone heard from Jonesey? She was supposed to help me with my language 5 homework, but she hasn't been online all day. Hope she's okay with the storm and everything.

no one needs to check on me. i'm fine.
mac don't drink that hot chocolate. ingo got into it last week. that's why it was in the blue cabinet instead of the food storage.
maniac if you're so concerned with the "crucial plot" maybe stop changing your lines every rehearsal? princess sally isn't supposed to swoon over sonic. read the script for once.

Hey everyone! Sorry I'm late - power went out at home so I'm using the emergency communicator. Mac, I can still help with your homework! Send me a DM.
Maniac, staying way past cool as Sonic, i see?

chill out my man, timtak. The script's just a suggestion, right? gotta keep things fresh! besides, shirley doesn't mind my creative interpretations. We've got CHEMISTRY, right Shirl? 💫
macnroni - Fine, lab demo it is! Wait till you see the little hynocruiser sim I programmed. Way more advanced than the old one Cranky's been running.
Anyone heard when Dr. C's coming back? Lab's not the same without his crazy octopus laugh- oh jeez im not supposed to talk about the O incident!

Just SHIRLEY. not "Shirl," maniac. And the script changes ARE getting confusing for everyone. Ms. Knudsen looked like she was going to explode yesterday.
I visited Dr. Cyber this morning - he's definitely getting better but still needs rest. He was excited to hear about Mac's repair work though! Said something about "the next generation showing great promise."
timmy, i saved you some of the lembas bread cookies I baked yesterday. They're in your locker at school. Extra cinnamon, since i know you like it.
Jonesey— glad to hear you’re safe.

thanks jonesey. forgot about the toolkit.
shirley thanks for the cookies i guess. didn't see them. locker's kinda messy right now.
anyone else notice the temporal anomaly detector was beeping earlier? probably nothing. just the storm messing with the sensors. not like we go on real missions these days anyway.

EWWW I already drank some of the hot chocolate!! Is that why it tasted like bananas??
Tim! I read Shirley’s comics about the old time cruiser missions! You were AMAZING during “The Aquazone Incident!” The coolest part was you teaming up with the time twisters right at the end. SO COOL!
Shirley - My mom says you can come over for dinner tomorrow if the storm's cleared. She's making her famous crockpot meatballs.
Maniac - Your simulator sounds neat, but Cranky's programs have all the authentic mission data. That's hard to beat!

11/30/3781 - 6:15 PM
Sorry, SHIRLEY. Just trying to keep things casual! And maybe the script changes are because my improvements make the show better? Just saying!
MacNRoni - Authentic but OUTDATED. i took a clickstream fusion class last year, so i know all about authentic physics and stuff like that. the problem with cranky’s sim is that it’s just not as fun as a real game!
Oh hey, Shirley makes comics? cool. Timtak probably looks better in them than he does now.
Anyone want to help me finish the soundtrack for the play? I've been remixing the original Sonic themes with some cutting-edge beats. Ms. Knudsen hasn't approved it yet, but once she hears it, she'll totally ditch the old music!

McKenzie - Thanks! I'd love to come for dinner. Your mom's cooking is amazing!
Timmy - I was just reading those old comics too! Remember when Dr. Cyber got turned into an octopus? And when we had to work with the Time Twisters to contain that temporal plague? Those were some intense adventures. You were really brave back then.
Maniac - Ms. Knudsen specifically said NO remixing the approved soundtrack. i don’t think the club was really able to sing along with your remix of “Too Fast.”
The storm's getting worse. The lab's emergency generators just kicked in. Cranky, what's our status?

Mac - Don't worry about the hot chocolate. Ingo-contaminated food just gives you extra energy and the urge to climb things. It'll wear off in about an hour.
Maniac - your coding skills are impressive, but time travel isn’t the same as playing a game. The Time Machine needs specialized algorithms.
Power's getting spotty at my place. Signing off for now. Stay safe everyone!

that was a long time ago. things change. people change.
maniac you weren't even there for any of the real missions so maybe shut up about things you don't know about? some of us almost died like a bunch of times.

timmy - people do change, but the important parts stay the same. you're still the same guy who figured out how to save dr cyber when everyone else was panicking. just because we're not facing world-ending temporal anomalies every week doesn't mean those skills aren't still there.

Okay guys, im home now. It’s YIKES out there.
Tim - Can you tell us stories about the old missions? Please? I've read the comics but it's not the same as hearing it from someone who was actually there!
I feel funny from the hot chocolate. Is climbing the bookshelf a normal urge? I've never wanted to climb furniture this much before...

Storm's no big deal at my place - dad has a fleet of snowblower bots he aquired last year.
TimTak - Whoa, didn't mean to hit a nerve! Just saying mission reports get exaggerated sometimes. But if you really faced down some serious dangers, then... respect, I guess.
Shirley - Fine, no remixes. But the original soundtrack is SO dated! Maybe we could at least update the arrangement a little?

Power stabilized! whew
Mac - Stay away from high places! The Ingo-effect includes temporary monkey tendencies! jk, im sure you’re having a sugar high.
tim and maniac, i can really sense the love between you two, but could you tone it down a bit? someones gonna loose an eye.

Hello, Cruisers! I type this between many coughs. Feeling well enough to check in briefly. Pleased to see you're all safe. the snow storm is a tad early around these parts, but alas, this is New England. You never know what you’ll get.
Timothy, I couldn't help noticing your comments. Perhaps when I'm back on my feet, we should discuss recalibrating the old hypnocruiser? Your insights were always valuable, and I miss our workshop sessions.
Shirley, excellent leadership in my absence. The progress reports on the new machine are impressive.
Maniac, while enthusiasm is appreciated, please refrain from unauthorized modifications to lab equipment.
McKenzie, I’d suggest you read a book and drink some water.
Jonesey, looking forward to your latest Zotaxian translations.
Cranky, thanks for taking care of the lab, as usual. Back to rest now. still coughing a lot.
To Infinity! And Beyond!
