   Summary

   The reasonable thing to do when you get flung three years into the past would be to sit down and think things through - make a plan.

   Fuck that noise - the Z-Team doesn't make plans. They have one (1) future dispatcher and current disaster hero to find and bully into taking care of himself and one (1) statistics-obsessed, jackass supervillain to murder and leave in a convenient ditch. Easy, straight forward - no problem.

   Robert would really appreciate it if someone would explain to him what the hell is going on.
