*Looks at you unamused*
World is a fine term.

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

*Shifts my weight*
Well that's... unexpected.

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

Is it not that way in your timeline? Assuming those are things?

<Snipped quote by Host>

Not here. *A note rustles in your pocket that says "Scale they don't suspect is scale we can't talk about."*

<Snipped quote by Balance>

Kieth already used it and nobody had a problem with it.

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

So, the way I went through time, my present is a direct continuation of yours; it's a true future. And things aren't that way.

<Snipped quote by Host>

It wasn't safe.

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

I hoped not! Timelines are weird! I've never worked with time travel in all my mad science because it's just so confusing. I deal with enough of a mess working with Pages!

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

Pages?

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

A mess of them!

*Opens the door to Perseo's office, munching on aliberries in my other hand* Good morning, Percy dear! *Singsongy* Time for your monthly progress report!

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

What are those?

<Snipped quote by Disdain>

Aha, morning, auntie! Thank you so very much for setting an appointment this time. It is several hundred times more efficient than your last entry. I made the system more efficient specifically for you, you see. And also for everybody else in the city.

<Snipped quote by Realmatic>

I super appreciate it. That means all your facts are ready and in order, right? I want those numbers all neat and tidy.

<Snipped quote by Balance>

It was fine.

<Snipped quote by Disdain>

But of course, my darling. As always, scholars are working around the clock to decrease energy usage. We've made our heat-recycling transformations eight percent more efficient and over sixty percent of the population of Sun City now uses them. At this rate, we'll be ready to launch to the rest of the world in just a few more months.

<Snipped quote by Realmatic>

*Claps my hands* How very useful! It's good to see that you're taking such initiative. What about your part in the Efficiency of Everything? Have you made any progress at all?

<Snipped quote by Disdain>

Oh, it's been absolutely stunning. In contrast to our frustrating failures over the last few months, we made two exceptional breakthroughs in two weeks. It's astounding how many ways there are to save!
