My friend, I am doing my best and really hope to catch up. But I always seem to be almost 600 days behind you. Please, can we do something to fix this? (Without any danger to either of us, of course!)

OH! You need a simple one-way time machine. You're welcome to borrow mine, but it seems to be out of order for the moment.

[Stratoscope]

Wait a minute!

You have an out of order time machine? That is what I've been looking for all my life.

I already have an in order time machine, and it keeps going the same direction. I want an out of order machine!

Can we trade? Today, tomorrow, or yesterday.

I will give you a Klein bottle for it. And even do your dishes!

Hey Scope of the Stratos,

I'm unable to wait a minute. My time machine's out of order.
