Chapter XIIT: Real men won't need savegames!
Aldryt ten, from now on, I will be completely making up everything that happens... A small voice inside my head said that the savegame may be dea but the Republic isn't.
Time-Reality Control department, sometime, someplace
"Oh no, look what you idiots did! Argh
you damned yellowgreen idiots!" The Big master screamed
"It was a mistake!" One of The Lackeys answered
"Accident! Accident! You deleted over 100 years of history! ACCIDENT!? ARGH!"
"Ehhh...Yes."
"No, that is not worst thing... The history is completely screwed up!"
"Ummm... Why can't we let it be?"
"Well why don't you just take a look..."
Our fav. Republic, somewhere around 1856
"I have a very strange feeling." "Gary" said
"What? Ummm. Aha" The President said without taking notice
"Don't you find these recent happenings strange?"
"Well, I do find them strange but I'm not going to whine about them"
"Well, yeah, now we have our shiny Russian machine parts and our new factory is well under way in its construction...Hmmmmh."
"Look, you can't affect everything. Why won't you let it be?"
"How can you let these things to be?"
"I am just a president. Besides, Texas and Prussia seem to be doing pretty well with their new leaders..."
"That appeared out of nowhere."
"Yeah."
"That are rather young."
"Indeed."
"And have funny names."
"Ok, spit it out, what do you want me to do?"
"I'm not sure."
"Mmmhh-hyy. There we go. You are whining about things beyond our control."
"*grumble*"
"Now, you have these economic papers to look at! Do something usefull. That coffee ain't free, not even for you!"
In Berlin
He was sitting on the throne, trying to figure out three things: How did he end up here, what should he do and was Prussian beer made in 1850's safe to drink.
He didn't know how he ended up here. One day he just woke up in an odd room. Then someone walked into the room. And screamed. Then
He got almost killed. Strangely enough
He was able to stage a military takeover. Extremely strage...
He had some idea of what he should do... But the clock is screaming DIE DIE DIE every second. To Hell with that mismanaging Emperor,
He thought.
He had drink extensive amount of beer and
He was still alive. But maybe it causes cancer. Or something.
And now back to the Piratinis
Both "Gary" and President were grim. The lumber mill didn't save their economy. Well, it wasn't a big wonder but it definedly made their situation harder.
"Bankrupty awaits." "Gary" said
"Dammit, we're running out of money again..." The President cursed
"So, what will we do now..."
"We will rob the royal jewels of Mexico."
"You aren't serious."
"Of course I am!"
"Aha, so, we will need a master thi..."
Suddenly they heard a loud crash. Something flew through the window. It was somebody. To "Gary", that somebody was familiar...
"Jonas!? What the hell!?" "Gary" screamed
"Ow. Don't scream so loud. Hehe." Jonas answered.
Jonas was a young man with long hair, long nose and too long trousers.
The President stared at the man lying on the floor with his mouth open. He was utterly confused, that was sure.
"Eeeee... Friend of yours?" finaly asked from "Gary"
"Well... We now have our master thief..." "Gary" answered. Disbelief was radiating from his face.
Jonas coughed, sneezed, gigled and asked "Do you have any booze, coffee or tobacco here?"
"As much as you please... And from now on... You've got time.

" "Gary" said
Jonas immediatedly regonized the inside joke and started to luagh with his hyenalike voice...
WTF is going? Does somebody know? Do I know? What will happen next? Only time, if that, will tell.
