The door suddenly opened and two people with strange skin color greeted Time Squad.
"You must be Buck." The man with blue skin said. "Welcome to Mainframe, Time Squad. I'm Guardian Bob. Enjoy your stay in peace."
"Call me Tuddrussel." He replied.
"So they do have security cameras!" Otto said.
"How did you get here, anyway?" Asked the woman with green skin.
"Well, we were getting ready a mission, when the screen that would tell us our mission started to act funny," Larry explained. "And before we knew it, we were ejected through the looking glass of that horribly untamed Hexadecimal!"
"I see you've met one of our viruses." Bob said rolling his eyes. "When did you meet the other?"
"If your wondering how we knew you had two viruses, we didn't actually meet Megabyte, we learned about him when we checked the coordinates of an odd sky scraper we were curious about, which we learned to be called Silicon Tor."
"How much can that 'coordinate' thing do?" Bob asked.
"This particular function can bring up information about any person, place, or thing." Larry replied.
"Really?" Bob asked. "Who's she." He pointed to the woman at his side.
"'Dot Matrix." Larry read from his wrist-top after getting the info. "Business owner. Helper in the principal's office. Sibling(s): Enzo Matrix. Parent(s): Welman Matrix, who was nullified from a failure opening a door to other systems, that caused the explosion, which destroyed the Twin City'? Oh my! That's horrible!"
He looked up to see a sad Dot. "Don't worry yourselves on it." She said. "You can take them in, Bob. I'd like to be alone."
As she left Tuddrussel asked, "Geese! What's wrong with her?"
"TUDDRUSSEL!" Larry and Otto gasped, unable to believe their ears.
"I'm just askin'!" Tuddrussel protested.
"Tuddrussel, you have no sense of sensitivity." Larry mumbled.
"Whatever"
The Mainframers listened as Larry told how they got there, leaving out or changing details with ReBoot terms to hide the evidence that they were users.
"What exactly do you do?" Bob asked. "Both together and individually."
"I'm the main time cop." Tuddrussel said.
"A stupid one." Larry grumbled.
"I heard that!" Tuddrussel yelled ready to pounce.
"DON'T TOUCH ME!" Larry wailed, backing away.
"Please, children!" A strange robot said. "No fighting!"
"Who are you calling children!?"
Bob leaned up close to them and whispered, "At Phong's age, everyone's a child."
"Bob!" Dot yelled at him. "Not in front of Enzo!"
"Anyway" Bob said. "The robot. Who are you?"
"Robot?" Larry cried, defensively. "I'm The Larry 3000! Originally designed to assist kings and diplomats. And right now I do simple tasks for him." He groaned motioning to Tuddrussel.
"Where's your PID, anyway?"
"What? You mean my icon?" Larry asked. "It's implanted inside my hard drive. Here I'll show you." He opened his wrist-top and typed in a command. He then showed Bob the screen, which had on it an image of the same thing that was on Tuddrussel and Otto.
"The boy?"
"I'm Otto." He said. "I'm an orphan. I'm also the only the only one who knows anything about history, so it's my job to tell them what certain people from history are famous for. I'm also the only one Tuddrussel will listen to on what's right and wrong." He snickered.
"Hey" Larry yelled, unhappy to be reminded that Tuddrussel never listens to him.
"Anyway," Otto said. "Together, we make up Time Squad. We live in a satellite, and we monitor history, then we go back in time when something happens that's not supposed to happen, or something doesn't happen that was supposed to happen, to make sure everything happens the right way."
"Whether it's helping Napoleon be more assertive at home or convincing Einstein that physics, not used cars might be his true calling," Larry continued. "We'll do whatever it takes to keep history from unraveling."
While everyone was introducing themselves, over at Silicon Tor, Megabyte was once again plotting to steal the Core energy.
"Is it ready, Commander?" he asked the commander through a vid-window.
"Ready and waiting for your order, Megabyte." He replied.
"Excellent!"
"You must be Buck." The man with blue skin said. "Welcome to Mainframe, Time Squad. I'm Guardian Bob. Enjoy your stay in peace."
"Call me Tuddrussel." He replied.
