Panel Dialogue Location Props
1 Cornhusk (floating head, narrating): The simulation was run over and over again, with the same result: A fatal crash error would occur at exactly midnight on December 21, 2012.
Man (Code-Monk, Topekan, Wearing glasses): I don't get it. The equipment is running just fine and we're using an exact duplicate of the Universe 1.3 source code.
Topeka Prime
Complex (Cowputer Labs)
  • Cow (Cowputer, Ursula)
2 Man (Code-Monk, Topekan): Check this out. The actual cause of the crash changes each time. Which you'd expect, due to the bubbles in the quantum foam.
Man (Code-Monk, Topekan, Wearing glasses): Of course.
Topeka Prime
Complex (Cowputer Labs)
  • Cow (Cowputer, Ursula)
3 Man (Code-Monk, Topekan): But the time of the crash is exactly the same in every simulation, down to the yoctosecond.
Man (Code-Monk, Topekan, Wearing glasses): Creepy.
Topeka Prime
Complex (Cowputer Labs)
  • Cow (Cowputer, Ursula)
4 Man (Code-Monk, Topekan): Yeah.
Man (Code-Monk, Topekan, Wearing glasses): So how much time does the real universe have left?
Topeka Prime
Complex (Cowputer Labs)
  • Cow (Cowputer, Ursula)
5 Man (Code-Monk, looking at watch, Topekan): A little more than two hundred years.
Man (Code-Monk, Topekan, Wearing glasses): That soon? Looks like you are going to die a virgin.
Topeka Prime
Complex (Cowputer Labs)
  • Cow (Cowputer, Ursula)
  • Watch
