It’s all happening! I mean – it’s already happened! No… it’s already about to have happened! …I think. Nimbus Station’s past is under attack, and if we don’t return it to its normal present in the very near future, our failure will lead to the unraveling of LEGO Universe!
If my patented Ultra Transchrono Noggulattor is to be trusted, then there may be a secret source of Maelstrom passing through the quantum scaffolding of space time, allowing it to seep into the fabric of our past. If readings are to be believed, seventeen googletons of chronomorphular Maelstrom could be headed – er, headING – straight for the pivotal historic Battle of Nimbus Station! If they aren’t stopped, they could change the past, forever mucklifying our plane of existence!
Wait a tick… if you warp back to the battle and force the Maelstrom out of that timeline, it will be forced back through its time warpation pathway… thus recompromising the properties of plastonic mechanics! Eureka! Our timeline will be saved!
There’s no time for dawdling, Nexus Force!
