The Timeslip Net

The Timeslip Net is a machine invented by Bill Trundle in 1999. Bill noticed several unusual readings during some research. After doing some tests, he found that the Strong Nuclear force, which holds protons and neutrons together in an atom, was growing weak due to an excessive amount of energy around the planet Earth. Bill created the Timeslip Net as a kind of black hole that would suck energy into it and hold it. It could even out the energy levels on Earth. If the Strong Nuclear Force was not fixed, every particle on Earth would disolve one by one until there was nothing left.

The machine was created, and was a success. After the scientists activated it on December 31, 1999 at midnight, Bill Trundle accidentally released a large amount of energy from it. He discovered that the Timeslip Net acted as a one-way time machine. The amount of energy that was released between pushing the button and the destruction of the machine took the pusher exactly 686 years in the future.

The Timeslip Net, after being destroyed by Bill Trundle, did not completely break down. It still worked for its original function: to attract and absorb energy. It was rebuilt by Edward Lopez after Bill was fired. Twelve years later, Paul Ginuous, Bazzil Kuckoo, and Melissa Kern accidentally used the Timeslip Net to travel 686 years in the future to 2698. It was destroyed again, but Bill Trundle was able to use several pieces of it to make a second machine that could pull Paul, Bazzil, and Melissa back to the year 2012.
