She stares at you.
Tha...That nuke wasn't shot down. It took out a quarter of the world and started a nuclear war. Go back. Go back and fix this, now.

[WillowLuman]

(Seriously, it got shot down remember? Am I in an alternate universe or something?)

"Can I, though? Well, that depends: where was ground zero?"

[smurfingtonthethird]

(Alternate universe. Stupid timey-wimey ball nature of the multiverse.)

"...Cairns. The guidance system was damaged, so it hit there. The rainforest up there is pretty mutated, so its a no-go zone."

[WillowLuman]

(Mutant rainforests... puts me in mind of a weird movie I saw lately. Good movie, but weird.)

"Then I can't fix this. This is an alternate timeline from where I come from. In my time, the nuke landed right back where it was launched from, and presumably never went off. If someone had gone back and set it off manually, then ground zero would have been pretty much right here. In my timeline, it went right... well, at least not as wrong as in this one. And unless you've got a servant of a pain elemental handy, it's not as if I'd know any way to even try and go back."

Inspect spud cannon. Especially the barrel. Peer directly down the barrel. Press buttons.

[smurfingtonthethird]

(Is that after earth you're talking about? That was terrible.)

"... Looks like you're with us then, until we can work this nonsense out. I assume you're good with a weapon, because its a jungle out there. Literally.
Welcome to Newcliff."

You walk out the door, and the sun rises on a ruined town. There's a wall of steel and rubble around it, though, and from there there's a canopy of trees. You can see a ship out on the horizon.

"You can come with me to the armory and get kitted out with a ARS and a Boltok, or you can go walkabout. Don't leave the area though, there's some messed up things out there."

[IcyTea31]

I was gone for a night and you did 3 updates without me and now a quantum paradox has happened? What a lazy mech-mechanic. You'd think he would work fast when staring down the barrel of a machine gun.

"Regular" me: Run away and cross the border so the authorities can't catch me.

Alternate universe me: Show up. Explain how I survived the nuke. Inspect mech for upgrades done during the ten years.

[smurfingtonthethird]

 

Also, unless the RNG says otherwise, you're probably dead in this world.

[darkpaladin109]

Teleport away.

[smurfingtonthethird]

Go to the future.
USING DRUNK SCIENCE!

[3]

You can't control science, you silly goose.

You wake up riding a dinosaur.

Eat the vomit.

[6]

You eat it, and vomit it back up again. Huh.

Inspect spud cannon. Especially the barrel. Peer directly down the barrel. Press buttons.

...

I'm not even gonna go there. Your face is now covered with potato.

You get intercepted. Oh noes!

[1]

You got killed by the Robotic Legion in this universe. Either port your current self or 'respawn' in the future.

Teleport away.

[1]

You try to teleport, but you get pulled into the 1D. Enjoy an eternal hell unless someone takes mercy on you!

[IcyTea31]

Universe 1: "Explain" to the border guards why it is not a good idea to intercept a mech wielding a machine gun and a flamethrower. Find a portal to universe A.

Universe A: Respawn. Find a way to move around and interact with things.

That's right, I named them. References, ho!

TELEPORT AWAY

[Remuthra]

You hear a muffled voice from under the bed.

Temporal error detected. Emergency boot required.

[kj1225]

Investigate surroundings.

[smurfingtonthethird]

TELEPORT AWAY

I don't think you understand what has happened to you. You've been stored as a single dimensional data string, which is basically binary code. You are literally just raw data at the moment, at least until something frees you.
