Mildly unsettled, Bill Nye finally escapes the depths of the caves, but the area he's surfaced on is completely new. The world looks strange around him. Bill Nye begins to feel dizzy.

Bill Nye: He....hello? *calls into the distance.*

Wormhole: Hi there! *appears out of nowhere with a crackling noise.* Welcome to QuantumClan.

Bill Nye: Quantum... as in quantum mechanics? *tips his head to the side.*

Wormhole: Yeppers :D

Bill Nye: How... fun?

Wormhole: So aren't you supposed to be asking me to explain stuff?

Bill Nye: How do you know what?

Wormhole: Sorry, Timetravelpaw was talking about you yesterday... I'm not supposed to scare the newcomers.

Timetravelpaw: Oh, hi Bill Nye. You better move to the side, because a boulder's gonna find you.

Bill Nye: *darts to the side, looking confused.*

Boulder: *nearly squishes Bill Nye.*

Bill Nye: *is hyperventilating.* how... how did you know that was going to happen?

Timetravelpaw: My name is Timetravelpaw, obviously.

Bill Nye: I don't want this explained. I want to leave. Where's the nearerst Clan?

Timetravelpaw: *sighs.* You can't flee. Schrödingerstar will be waiting for you at camp. Don't ask why you can see him both dead and alive.

Bill Nye: I'm not going to your camp! You cats are crazy!

Wormhole: *mutters to himself.* Look who's talking...

Bill Nye: What?

Timetravelpaw: Well, you're going to get scared of me, then run to the camp, then that's all going to go down... so you can't escape your fate. *shrugs.*

Bill Nye: *isn't listening.* BYE! *runs off.*

Bill Nye: *runs through the trees, panting loudly, before stopping at the entrance of a camp. He pads inside.* 

Timetravelpaw: Bye!

Schrödingerstar: *there are two of him in one place, one dead and one alive.* Hi there, Bill Nye. Timetravelpaw told us about you!

Bill Nye: LET ME ESCAPE THIS CRAZY PLACE! WHY ARE YOU BOTH DEAD AND ALIVE?

Schrödingerstar: I'm a cat imagined as being enclosed in a box with a radioactive source and a poison that will be released when the source (unpredictably) emits radiation, the cat being considered (according to quantum mechanics) to be simultaneously both dead and alive until the box is opened and the cat observed.

Bill Nye: THAT MAKES NO SENSE.
