Transcript

{The screen shows Astrotown.}

NARRATOR: And clocking in at unlucky 13, we have Nebulon emails. Last time we left Nebulon, he had visited Astrotown.

{A clip plays of Nebulon, Charles, and Ghype approaching Astrotown.}

NARRATOR: Nebulon unsucessfully tried to win back the Astromunds, and a secret was discovered about Ghype.

{A clip of Nebulon, Charles, and Ghype at Ghype's House plays.}

NARRATOR: He was the keeper of a Remote - where a third of all robot data is kept. And-

{Zoom out to reveal Nebulon, Charles, and Ghype on the 2014 Moon.}

NEBULON: Uh, we know this. We were there.

GHYPE: I was testing my projector!

CHARLES: The Mechy recieved a minor injury in that time travel incident.

NEBULON: Is it serious?

CHARLES: Yes. It is a serious minor injury.

GHYPE: Let's cut the crap and knock down an email!

{The email appears on the screen, but it isn't read yet.}

NEBULON: Uh, where's the injury?

CHARLES: It will soon reveal itself.

Dera Nebulon,
How did Tampo, Brody, and Stlunko get "Neb-1" out of
your name, if it's really Nebulon? Oh, and, "Nobody liking your style"
is untrue, as I like your style.
U R awesome,
C.Olimar788

{Nebulon reads "dera" as "a deer","liking" as "licking", "like" as "lick", "U R" as "letter U, letter R", and "C.Olimar788" as "788 E.Colimars".}

NEBULON: Well, that's a good question.

GHYPE: Your clone licked {sic} the name!

CHARLES: I think that clone was not a natural part of Nebulon.

NEBULON: Oh, and thanks for licking {sic} my style. Anyway, we should probably get to work-

{The Mechy sends a gigantic spark in the air, which explodes.}

NEBULON: What was that?

CHARLES: The minor injury.

NEBULON: That's not an injury! That's an exploding computer!

GHYPE: Maybe it hates time travel as much as you do! That would be a very fun thing!

NEBULON: An exploding computer isn't fun!

CHARLES: Come on. We need to get to the tower.

{They begin to move. The scene cuts away to a more aged Strong Bad, with an older the Cheat in spacesuits.}

STRONG BAD: Whoa! The Cheat! Did you see that?

THE CHEAT: Muh!

STRONG BAD: I bet there are spare parts for our ship there! And then we'll be sitting pretty in the high life!

HOMESTAR RUNNER: {offscreen} Hey, Strong Buh! When are we going to go home?

STRONG BAD: Uh, you have to take off your space suit, and breathe the fresh essence of the moon. Come on, The Cheat!

{Cut back to the Neby Trio.}

GHYPE: We are moving innocently along!

NEBULON: We've only got about a half-

{The Mechy sends a huge exploding spark in the air again.}

CHARLES: Watch-

{Strong Bad and The Cheat come out of a crater.}

STRONG BAD: Come on, The Cheat! We're taking the baby OFF THE MOON!

{The Cheat tries to pick up the computer, but he is too weak.}

CHARLES: You think we are going to allow this?

NEBULON: Do you know what happens to a wrestleman when he's blasted with a laserball?

GHYPE: Stop! It's a reference trap!

STRONG BAD: Uh, no, what?

NEBULON: The same thing that happens to everything else.

STRONG BAD: That line-

OFFSCREEN VOICE: HADOKEN!

GHYPE: My overrefence trap is over-

{Present-Day Nebulon comes barreling out of one side of the screen.}

THE CHEAT: Muh!

{He hits the keyboard. The Mechy, Strong Bad, and The Cheat dissapear in a huge exploding spark which propels everyone backwards. Pieces of The Mechy fall out of the sky, and land in a giant pile.}

PRESENT DAY NEBULON: Why are you guys here?

NEBULON: Well, we were trying to time travel to get to a location that wasn't on fire.

CHARLES: You seem to know us. Have you seen us before?

PRESENT-DAY NEBULON: I've seen you once in 2006.

NEBULON: 2006 is in the past?

PRESENT-DAY NEBULON: Uh, yeah. Shouldn't you remember being told this?

GHYPE: I haven't had a line in a while!

CHARLES: Can we just simplfy it as "time travel sucks"?

NEBULON: Alright. So... there weren't any time travel methods in 2014 yet, were there?

PRESENT-DAY NEBULON: Well, there is one... but it's risky.

NEBULON: Yes? What is it?

PRESENT-DAY NEBULON: Cryrogenics.

GHYPE: I'm not meant to be icied for years!

CHARLES: It would damage us, at least.

VOICE: I can help!

{Workbacks is standing behind them.}

NEBULON: I thought we fired you.

GHYPE: Your humorosity score is below the charts!

WORKBACKS: I can tell a joke!

NEBULON: Let's hear it.

WORKBACKS: Why did Nebulon get Workbacks a cog on Planet K?

NEBULON: Uh, because he wanted to throw it at him?

WORKBACKS: No! The answer is so I can finish my machine that goes at lightspeed and may, in fact, transport you into the future!

GHYPE: That joke sucked!

CHARLES: A cog? Just one cog?

WORKBACKS: Do you need your audiochip retuned?

NEBULON: Wait, can't you just make one? Out of, like, precious moon metals?

WORKBACKS: Well, yes, but that would require effort.

CHARLES: Fine. Where do you suggest we got a cog?

WORKBACKS: Planet K!

GHYPE: Where there? Ha, I made a rhyme!

WORKBACKS: That's part of the quest!

NEBULON: This isn't a fantasy show! It's, like, sci-fi with too much freaking plot.

WORKBACKS: As an alternative, you can get me the secret recipie for Iced Cream, and I'll use the cog in my pocket.

CHARLES: We'll get the cog. How do you suggest we leave the moon?

WORKBACKS: Oh, I can teleport you.

{A blinding light surrounds the trio. They end up dumped at a gravestone.}

NEBULON: My delicate alien spine...

CHARLES: Why do you think of yourself as an alien? Aren't you-

NEBULON: {loudly} I wonder what that gravestone says? 

In Fonde Memorye
The Stick
2000 - 2010
"Bubs' Gravestones: Assisting you in the Afterlife!"

GHYPE: Bubs? That guy was my first engineer! I licked him!

NEBULON: Are we going to run that joke into the ground?

GHYPE: I lick that idea!

CHARLES: Perhaps we should see Bubs. He might have a cog.

NEBULON: You know, there was a time where you were interesting.

{Cut to Bubs' Concession Stand.}

BUBS: Drinkin' up a youth potion in the monin' monin'...

{The Neby Trio appear.}

GHYPE: Engineguy!

BUBS: Hey, it's that robot guy I made!

NEBULON: Yeah, I'm sure that's awesome. Listen, do you have any cogs?

BUBS: I sold all of those!

CHARLES: To whom?

BUBS: Some guys in my storage basement!

NEBULON: I thought Trogdor lived there.

BUBS: Yeah. That's why it's so hard to get the cog.

CHARLES: So who could possibally live there?

BUBS: Questions cost forty dollars each!

GHYPE: Maker sir, do you remember me?

BUBS: You two can go on! I've got some memory books to show him!

{Cut to the Very Large Staircase.}

CHARLES: This seems to be a lot of work for a cog.

NEBULON: Sure, but it's American effeciency!

CHARLES: I don't think the moon is American territory.

NEBULON: It's just like the old days, isn't it?

CHARLES: Yes. So we have to deal with these underground low men-

NEBULON: I thought we already referenced that.

CHARLES: Here is the mouth of the cave.

NEBULON: Here's crocodile teeth... here's Trogdor...

{Nebulon attacks Trogdor with a laserball. He falls over and dies.}

NEBULON: I knew that Purple Spot of Dragon Slaying would help someday.

{Charles opens the door the the room of riches.}

NEBULON: There's no one here. And no cog either.

CHARLES: I will detect for cogs with my ultrasensor.

NEBULON: Basement scene!

{Cut to Nebulon in a basement.}

NEBULON: Well, hello America (and other places.) Do you knoow how rambunctious minions are these days? You have to have dicipline-

{Cut back to Bubs' Strorage Room.}

CHARLES: These references are getting stupid.

NEBULON: Did you find a cog?

CHARLES: No. I found a secret trapdoor, though.

NEBULON: A secret trapdoor? That must be inportant to our quest.

CHARLES: Yes, that's why I opened it and put the sign there.

{Cut to show the trapdoor, with a giant sign that says "TRAPDOOR!" pointing to it. The duo enters.}

NEBULON: Hi, guys.

{A group of Unguraits with white cloaks are worshipping a cog.}

UNGURAITS: Oh holy cog! Oh holy cog!

HEAD UNGURAIT: This cog represents The Great Cog, who will keep us turning-

NEBULON: Can we have the cog?

UNGURAITS: HEATHEN! SPURN OF {edit} CORRUPT OUR CHILDREN!

CHARLES: Does that mean we can have it?

HEAD UNGURAIT: Okay, sure.

{He throws the cog at Charles. He catches it.}

NEBULON: Thanks!

{Cut to Bubs.}

BUBS: I just did some cleanin', so you should be able to use your vocal functions correctly.

GHYPE: It is I, Ghype, here to save the day again! Without having to constantly say crazy stuff!

CHARLES: Sounds like a good deal.

NEBULON: So that's all we have to do?

CHARLES: Well, we need to get our computer back, see Workbacks and land near the tower and not the burning city...

GHYPE: Your jokes are hilarious, Charles!

{They all laugh. The scene fades out, and a picture of the cog appears on a purple background. "Email Nebulon at nebymail@nebulon.com" is displayed at the top.}

Easter Eggs
