Marzipan's name and contact information has appeared in a recently discovered ancient scroll with instructions on how to avoid a terrible future. The message was sent to the past by none other than Cliff Junction, Time Administrator. Cliff is really bad at his job though. Before we know it the timeline is out of whack, time bandits are attacking Cliff, Marzipan is leading the Earth against Martian aggression and a time traveling slug may be the only hope for the future.
