The first and only rule of time travel in the year fifteen billion and seventy-three is simple enough: DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING. Theodore Pine Four is perfectly willing to follow this rule when he wins a contest for the latest TimeMaster JumpMan.

And most important, can they set things right without touching anything?
