A transmission of unkown origin is picked up by a SPONGE historian. All evidence points to the message being from the future.
06-24-02 : Dr. Geocorona picks up a transmission: "Mat... (static)... from the year twenty... (static)... when you... (static)...don't... (static)... I repeat, it is extremely imp... (static)... that you DO NOT... (static)".
Accompanied by the following visual imagery:
06-25-02 : I run the image through the Doppler Wave Analysis machine, and work on the audio. In the early hours of the morning I manage to clean it up enough to get this: "Matrin, this is Barney, transmitting from the year
twenty-twenty-six. I just thought I'd let you know: when you win
those Dr. Seuss hats at the Rhode Island State Fair, don't throw them
out. They're in fashion all over the world now, but hard to find,
especially in Suez. Oh, and if this thing works, maybe we can use it
for S-P-O-N-G-E business. Let me know... On second thought, lie to me
and tell me the transmission came through fine, regardless.
Otherwise, I'll never warn you about the hats. I repeat, it is
extremely important that you DO NOT throw away those hats."
Perhaps it isn't as serious a situation as we thought.
Dr. Geocorona picks up another message, ungarbled in the morning: "And don't worry about anything you see here. We have it under control..."
I would be back to worrying again, except it sounds exactly like something Barney would say.
As far as we can ponpoint, the message was relayed from Aldebaran.
Postulations: It is very possible that the message is from the future. And now I suppose I need to go to the Rhode Island State Fair.
